Every month, finance teams rebuild their collections forecast by hand, copying and pasting from disconnected files and hoping nothing breaks. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Collections Forecast Agent that connects to accounting files, NetSuite, and live bookings data to automate the full monthly rebuild, reconcile actuals against forecast, and output a traceable Excel workbook your whole team can work from.

Is your data actually ready for AI? While companies rush to deploy machine learning models, 83% of executives realize that high-value, real-time data is trapped at the physical edge—on factory floors, inside hospitals, and at retail terminals. With billions of connected IoT devices, managing this data creates massive hidden headaches like security risks and pipeline blind spots. True AI readiness starts at the edge. Bridge the gap between your edge devices and your AI goals today.

Writing tickets is the tax every PM pays. You know exactly what needs to get built, then you spend an hour turning it into properly scoped Jira issues with acceptance criteria, labels, and the right epic. AgentSpot does the writing for you. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Product Assistant that turns a rough feature idea into fully drafted Jira tickets, pulls in context from your existing backlog so nothing gets duplicated, and files them to the right epic ready for grooming.

Release notes are the thing that always gets written last, usually by whoever has the least context, usually the morning after ship day. Everything you need is already sitting in GitHub, it just isn't in a form anyone outside engineering can read. In this video, we use AgentSpot to build a Release Notes Workflow that reads what's been merged in GitHub, translates the changes into human-readable notes, posts them to your team's Slack channel, and keeps a running Slack canvas so every release stays in one place.

AI agents are moving rapidly from experimentation to execution, and Snowflake CoWork is making it easier for teams to put AI to work across everyday business workflows. But knowing how to use CoWork effectively is only the first step. The bigger question is: how do you make sure the data powering those workflows is complete, current, and reliable enough to trust?

Paul McDonough-Smith estimates that many business leaders would struggle to define their organization’s problem clearly in fewer than 25 words. With AI, that lack of clarity can quickly turn into fragmented solutions and misplaced expectations. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Paul McDonough-Smith, a Visiting Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management and a Senior Advisor to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, to explore how organizations can approach AI with greater clarity and purpose.

AI changed the process, but not what matters. In the latest episode of The Data & AI Chief, three authors explore what it takes to lead through the AI era, from scaling innovation to building AI-ready data foundations to keeping humans at the center. This episode features: Linda Hill, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Genius at Scale, on scaling innovation and leading through uncertainty.
