Slight

Here at Slight, we’re working on the interaction between data teams and domain experts. Our focus is on the lifecycle of a data request.

At the starting point of interactions between data teams and domain experts, we’re reimagining the request/ticket itself, where we feel the current paradigm of asking over chat tools or email, or trying to shoehorn in Jira, isn’t the best way for data and analytics. Data work requests straddle the line between issues, features, analyses and tasks, with domain experts often having the ability to give detailed insight into their request. These tickets require deep interaction between both teams, from rolling up discussions to providing a space and language for shared understanding.

On the other end of this lifecycle, we are making it dead easy to create performant data applications. That is, we're enabling people to take queries (SQL, etc; reads and inserts) and scripts (e.g., R, Python), easily parametrize them, and get an application that non-technical users can use. The application might give back data, run a time series prediction, update some database, or make a bunch of API calls. We're making these applications broadly usable, not just in our web interface, but also in Slack and related tools, and even available as an API for engineering partners.
