Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @jared_coleman Good question, Jared. It doesn't depend on which tool you connect first. The boundary is set per tool, not per connector order. For every action Genie, our AI Analyst, can take, you choose whether ...

We just launched MCP Connectors by Databox - give your AI Analyst the why behind every number
... thank you to everyone who commented on last week's thread. A lot of the tools you mentioned are the ones we connected first. Which tool would you connect first? Let us know in the comments. Comment from
Ziga
Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @aruna_polosofttech Great question, Aruna. We expect most teams will start with troubleshooting. A number drops, someone asks why, and the answer comes back with the deal, ticket, or conversation behind it. That's the quickest ... ... schedule and flags changes, good or bad, with the context attached.

When a number moves, where do you actually go to find out why?
... actual deal or thread behind it, not just the number. Before we launch, genuinely curious: when a metric needs explaining, where do you go to find the answer? CRM, Slack, a spreadsheet, or just someone's memory? Comment from
Ziga
Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @fatima_sarki Thanks Fatima! That's the exact problem we built this for, seeing the change is the easy part, finding the why is where all the time goes. Comment from Aleksandr Kubarskii(@al_kub): Before looking ... ... business reason I would check whether tracking or the metric definition changed Then split the drop by account or channel A Slack message can explain one lost deal without explaining the whole drop Comment from

We're bringing "set it and forget it" to AI analysis.
... when a model changes underneath us and nobody notices for a week. That's the check I'd want shouting at me, because it's exactly the kind I'd never remember to open a dashboard for. Comment from
Ziga
Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @asadmalik901 That's a great example, and it's exactly the kind of check that gets skipped because nobody remembers to open a dashboard for it. Routines won't catch a silent model swap ... ... weekly instruction to Genie would work well here. It reads the numbers, tells you what moved and why, so a drift shows up in the notification instead of sitting quiet in a chart for a week. Comment from

We just launched Artifacts by Databox - turn any answer into a shareable report

Ziga
Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @rahulbhavsar Agreed, and that's a good push to keep emphasizing. That's actually the part we care most about getting right: each skill runs through Databox's metric definitions and live data, not the AI guessing ... ... numbers. It's what makes the report something you can share, not something you have to double check first. Trust in the output matters more long term than the initial download number. Comment from

We just launched Databox MCP - and it's live on the leaderboard today.
... daily / weekly / monthly summaries. It's valuable to ask AI agent and get an immediate reply without SQL / excel spreadsheet. But I suppose to get repeated actions would be essential to retain the users. Best, Gleb Comment from

Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @riya_pariyar that acquisition + 30-day retention question is a perfect example - exactly the kind of thing that takes forever manually but is one prompt away with MCP. On latency: for typical metric queries ... ... retention, not just conversion? That's the one that always requires 3 tools and a spreadsheet to answer properly.

How many steps does it take to answer a simple data question?

Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @olivier_jury Olivier, this is exactly the scenario we built for - thanks for laying it out so clearly. On your three points: 1.

Ziga

Genie launches on Product Hunt tomorrow - here's what we built

Ziga
Potocnik(@zigapotocnik): @swati_paliwal Great question, Swati! Genie works within your connected data sources in Databox - so if you have multiple integrations set up, it can pull metrics across them in a single query. For something like "What's driving ...
