The UI To Your AI—And More
Table of Contents

AI is everywhere—but it rarely shows up where work actually happens. Sigma’s 2025 Spring Showcase changes that.
Starting today, you can build, embed, and scale AI-powered experiences across your business without writing a single line of code, and without compromising governance or performance. From natural language apps to embedded writeback, this launch makes Sigma the UI to your AI.
Ask Sigma just got smarter
We launched Ask Sigma to act like your AI analyst, answering questions in plain language using live data. Now, we’re taking it further with three major upgrades:
See how AI is really being used—in real time
The new Admin Dashboard shows exactly how AI is being used and where it’s not. Track adoption by team, see what people are asking, and spot issues in your data before they slow you down.

The admin dashboard helps you:
- Monitor adoption and engagement by the team
- Understand which data sources are the most popular
- Uncover knowledge gaps and training opportunities
- Spot recurring issues in data quality
- Optimize your AI investment based on real-world usage
Run Ask Sigma on your warehouse AI models
Ask Sigma now works seamlessly with models from Snowflake and Databricks, so you can bring your own AI stack and stay in full control.
Use the models you’ve already built. Keep your data inside your warehouse. Stay flexible as the tech evolves.
No external APIs. No data movement. No extra infrastructure. Just fast, governed AI—powered by your models and delivered through Sigma.
Bring AI to your customers with Ask Sigma in embeds
Now you can put the power of Ask Sigma directly into your product. Embedded Ask Sigma lets your customers explore their data in plain language: no training, no friction.
They can:
- Ask questions and get real answers, instantly
- See exactly how results were generated
- Get guided suggestions for deeper analysis
- Understand which data was used—and why it matters
It’s a smarter way to enable self-serve analytics without bloated dashboards or clunky AI overlays. You keep full control over branding, security, and governance—no need to rewire your roadmap.
Transform dashboards into applications
Embedded writeback
Now your customers can do more than explore data—they can act on it. Our updates to element-level security allow for embedded writeback, users can now edit, update, and submit changes directly from embedded dashboards.
Changes write back to your cloud data warehouse in real time. That means better collaboration, better governance, and no need to leave your app.
Build even more powerful data apps
Connect the dots with file column types
Bring unstructured data into your workflows. Upload files—PDFs, images, Excel sheets—directly into Sigma tables and use them in apps. Teams can use data instantly in applications to:
- Attach contracts to deal data
- Link receipts to expense reports
- Include creative assets in campaign reviews
File Column Types creates information hubs where content lives with data, giving users a complete picture for decision-making.
Coming soon: Build in Python. Scale in Sigma.
Our upcoming Python integration for Databricks brings advanced data science into the flow of everyday business—no handoffs, no new tools to learn.
Data scientists can:
- Build models directly in Sigma’s interface, where business teams already work
- Focus on modeling, while Sigma handles the UI automatically
- Create durable models that stay usable over time
- Tap into Python’s full power without sacrificing governance or control
And for business users? It’s a whole new way to work with data science:
- Explore models dynamically—no SQL or code required
- Adjust inputs and see instant results
- Layer their own analysis on top, all in Sigma
- Use insights directly in workflows that drive decisions
This unlocks true collaboration: Data scientists build, business teams interact, and the whole company moves faster.
- Imagine financial analysts testing risk scenarios on demand.
- Customer success teams tweaking churn models in real time.
- Retail planners adjusting supply forecasts with one click.
All the flexibility of Python, with the usability of Sigma. This is how AI becomes operational.
On The Horizon: Natural Language Apps
We’re making it easier for anyone to build data apps. Soon, you’ll be able to describe the workflow you need in plain language, and Ask Sigma will help turn it into a working app.
These apps will be fully connected to your live data, include inputs for user interaction, and be built to drive real action—without writing code or relying on technical teams.
It’s a new way to create apps that’s faster, more accessible, and designed for how teams actually work.
Experience the UI to your AI—and more
Sigma’s Spring Showcase isn’t just a product release—it’s a new way to work. One platform. One governed stack. Infinite possibilities.
With Sigma, AI isn’t a bolt-on. It’s built in. Apps aren’t a side project. They’re the future. And analytics isn’t where work ends, it’s where it begins.
Everything you’ve seen—Ask Sigma upgrades, embedded writeback, file columns—is live today. Data Science Apps are coming soon.
