Roundup: Why your sales team shouldn't query Gong directly

"You can burn a lot of credits very quickly if you aren't careful. Make it an incremental dbt model so you don't blow through your credit budget." Tristan Handy on what happens the moment you point a whole sales team at the same unstructured data. He's joined by Jason Ganz for the Roundup: a recurring conversation covering data and AI news at the speed it moves. Three ideas from the episode: 🔸 The five Exponential View gauges say boom, not bubble. AI capex is still under 1% of GDP, well below the 2.5% during the railroad build-out, and revenue is doubling every seven months. Funding quality is the one drifting toward red. 🔸 Two data engineering benchmarks landed in two weeks. Opus 5 cleared 70% on Snowflake's 103 dbt-specific tasks. Models handle bounded problems well. They're still bad at saying "I don't know" and at spotting a question that needs reframing. 🔸 Hook every rep up to the Gong MCP and everyone pays for the same analysis over and over. Britton Stamper took the queries people actually ask and aggregated them into an incremental dbt model. Listen wherever you get your podcasts 🎧
