ANALYTICS
Velocity0.0

Cloud analytics platform for spreadsheet-style BI

Sigma is moving data modeling out of its own UI and into the terminal.

data-modelingagent-toolingautomationembedded-analyticswarehouse-native
◆Current state
Sigma shipped a plugin for Claude Code that builds complete data models — metrics, relationships, columns, descriptions — from the terminal, alongside guidance on building Sigma Agents that handle schema discovery and model creation against Snowflake semantic views. Automated Actions landed for running reports, refreshing data, calling APIs, and triggering agents on a schedule, and embedded analytics gained bidirectional JavaScript events over postMessage.
◆Where it's heading
Two directions are converging on the same idea: Sigma as a system that runs without someone watching it. Automated Actions handles the scheduled half, the Claude Code plugin and agent guidance handle the authored half, and the embedding work makes Sigma a component inside someone else's application rather than a destination. The recurring argument in the writing — that read-only dashboards are no longer enough — is consistent across all three.
◆Prediction
Expect the agent surface to extend from model creation into model maintenance, since schema drift is what makes hand-built models rot. The embedded and automation threads suggest write-back workflows will keep deepening.

    Introducing the Sigma Plugin for Claude Code

    ⚡ SPARK

    A Claude Code plugin that builds full data models from the terminal moves Sigma's core authoring work outside Sigma's interface. It is the sharpest expression of the autonomy direction the Automated Actions and agent releases circle around.

    How to Build a Sigma Agent for Data Modeling in Your Warehouse

    A walkthrough of building a Sigma Agent for schema discovery, model creation, and Snowflake semantic views. Educational content rather than a release, though it documents the same agent-driven modeling direction the Claude Code plugin ships.

    Javascript Events in Embedded Analytics with Sigma

    Bidirectional JavaScript events over the postMessage API connect embedded Sigma with the host application in real time. Concrete embedding depth — it is what separates an analytics iframe from a component that behaves like part of the product around it.

    Introducing Automated Actions: Build Workflows that Run on Autopilot

    ⚡ SPARK

    Automated Actions run reports, refresh data, call APIs, and trigger agents on a schedule. It gives Sigma an execution layer of its own, which is the prerequisite for the agent-driven workflows the rest of this window describes.

    Why Your Customers Have Outgrown Read-Only Dashboards

    An argument that read-only embedded dashboards no longer meet user expectations, with a path toward interactive analytics. Positioning content, but it states the thesis the JavaScript events and Automated Actions releases implement.
