16 00:02:40.540 00:02:43.438 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Yeah, go ahead and share with them. And then also.

17 00:02:43.933 00:02:47.136 Uttam Kumaran: you share with them as a guest, and then you can put it in the

18 00:02:47.830 00:02:49.230 Uttam Kumaran: in the notion.

19 00:02:51.960 00:02:53.310 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, this looks great.

20 00:02:54.770 00:03:00.490 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I need to. I think, we need to share also the

21 00:03:00.840 00:03:02.857 Nicolas Sucari: the other pages.

22 00:03:03.950 00:03:05.759 Nicolas Sucari: like, not only.

23 00:03:05.760 00:03:08.039 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, snowflake rail! Dbt.

24 00:03:08.220 00:03:14.999 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly. Or maybe we can just like share with them the tool, yeah, or or each of the tools

25 00:03:15.100 00:03:19.719 Nicolas Sucari: or the tool database. And they can like access and view all of the tools that we have.

26 00:03:23.110 00:03:24.140 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

27 00:03:24.480 00:03:25.340 Uttam Kumaran: I mean.

28 00:03:29.210 00:03:31.940 Nicolas Sucari: That’s the only the only issue of having

29 00:03:32.050 00:03:33.719 Nicolas Sucari: everything like in the.

30 00:03:33.720 00:03:35.190 Uttam Kumaran: Internal and external.

31 00:03:35.670 00:03:36.490 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

32 00:03:36.680 00:03:38.920 Nicolas Sucari: because we all need to share.

33 00:03:39.240 00:03:45.239 Nicolas Sucari: I I already shared. Or, yeah, let me try. I’m gonna share this page to my

34 00:03:45.350 00:03:47.300 Nicolas Sucari: personal email, too.

35 00:03:47.390 00:03:50.310 Nicolas Sucari: And I’m gonna see if I can.

36 00:03:50.460 00:03:52.060 Nicolas Sucari: I can view that

37 00:03:52.080 00:03:53.629 Nicolas Sucari: tools. And this stuff.

38 00:03:54.360 00:03:56.018 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I think,

39 00:03:56.670 00:03:58.569 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, it’s tough.

40 00:04:04.810 00:04:07.230 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, you see, I I can see like

41 00:04:07.822 00:04:14.369 Nicolas Sucari: when where it says tool links, I can see that there are 4 pages, but then I see no access to all of them.

42 00:04:14.870 00:04:16.140 Nicolas Sucari: but you can see the full page.

43 00:04:16.149 00:04:16.829 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

44 00:04:17.310 00:04:23.099 Nicolas Sucari: I. I can see that there are 4 pages, but but it says no access. I don’t see, like the title of the page.

45 00:04:23.100 00:04:24.446 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay,

46 00:04:26.390 00:04:31.950 Uttam Kumaran: I wonder if the best move is. So we have these tool pages.

47 00:04:32.110 00:04:34.339 Uttam Kumaran: I have the tools linked

48 00:04:34.820 00:04:36.780 Uttam Kumaran: the clients.

49 00:04:40.170 00:04:40.850 Uttam Kumaran: And

50 00:04:41.490 00:04:42.390 Uttam Kumaran: hmm!

51 00:04:43.290 00:04:45.699 Uttam Kumaran: I wonder if we should, instead

52 00:04:46.090 00:04:47.919 Uttam Kumaran: of the tool page.

53 00:04:48.180 00:04:49.650 Uttam Kumaran: we have a

54 00:04:50.380 00:04:53.219 Uttam Kumaran: reference page for a snowflake.

55 00:04:55.200 00:04:56.250 Nicolas Sucari: Like.

56 00:04:56.590 00:04:58.750 Uttam Kumaran: Like it lives in documentation.

57 00:05:00.180 00:05:00.930 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

58 00:05:02.790 00:05:04.019 Uttam Kumaran: You see what I’m saying?

59 00:05:05.500 00:05:10.699 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, but it’s it’s gonna be the same like you’re gonna need to give access.

60 00:05:10.700 00:05:14.330 Uttam Kumaran: It’s too bad. Cause the the point. The yeah, that

61 00:05:14.420 00:05:18.599 Uttam Kumaran: the tools are more. I mean, I started the tools thing mainly for us to.

62 00:05:19.470 00:05:20.010 Nicolas Sucari: Tracking.

63 00:05:20.010 00:05:27.519 Uttam Kumaran: Using. And yeah, and the costs. But I actually like the way you have it as well. I think the tools database

64 00:05:27.590 00:05:29.589 Uttam Kumaran: we will also have like

65 00:05:30.000 00:05:36.570 Uttam Kumaran: I, I think this document is, is actually super helpful. But I think we should put this in

66 00:05:36.770 00:05:37.970 Uttam Kumaran: reference.

67 00:05:39.990 00:05:40.750 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

68 00:05:41.420 00:05:42.000 Uttam Kumaran: So what?

69 00:05:42.000 00:05:45.400 Nicolas Sucari: As a, as a how to guide or Yeah.

70 00:05:45.400 00:05:47.709 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, as like I, I was just.

71 00:05:47.710 00:05:48.160 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, because.

72 00:05:48.160 00:05:51.699 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, just you could just put like, yeah, as an introduction document. Or.

73 00:05:51.840 00:05:58.170 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, and we will link this stuff back to the tool. The tools. Page won’t have any. The tool individually won’t have anything.

74 00:05:58.970 00:06:00.189 Uttam Kumaran: You see what I’m saying.

75 00:06:00.810 00:06:01.660 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, okay.

76 00:06:01.660 00:06:04.405 Uttam Kumaran: So you could probably just cop, you could probably just

77 00:06:05.870 00:06:13.450 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, you could probably honestly just create a new thing in docs and copy it over, or move, or yeah, or duplicate it into there

78 00:06:13.990 00:06:18.570 Uttam Kumaran: and then. That way we can share. Because these docs we can. We’ll we’ll continue to share externally

79 00:06:19.110 00:06:22.760 Uttam Kumaran: right. I don’t mind sharing any of these docs externally.

80 00:06:23.490 00:06:41.909 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, because I was. I was trying to to do that yesterday, like I was trying to see what we can link from these documents, and there is like no like initial setup for Snowflake. We don’t have that as documentation, and maybe that’s defined like that’s the document that we are missing, and it’s the one that we have in tools

81 00:06:42.040 00:06:42.860 Nicolas Sucari: right.

82 00:06:43.840 00:06:48.450 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly. Yeah. So like this cause, this is more of like, what is snowflake?

83 00:06:49.010 00:06:51.240 Uttam Kumaran: This is like snowflake overview.

84 00:06:51.640 00:06:52.120 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly.

85 00:06:52.120 00:06:52.750 Uttam Kumaran: And.

86 00:06:52.750 00:06:55.630 Nicolas Sucari: Kind of an initial initial read on Snowflake, and how.

87 00:06:55.630 00:06:56.060 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

88 00:06:56.060 00:06:59.950 Nicolas Sucari: Like, set it up for the 1st time. So yeah, maybe it can be in documents.

89 00:07:00.300 00:07:01.050 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.

90 00:07:01.760 00:07:17.899 Nicolas Sucari: okay, I’m gonna do that. And I’m gonna replace what we have in the Javikov homepage with this documentation, and we can share, like the entire documentation database to Aman and Robert, so they will see it. Then, on the homepage.

91 00:07:18.780 00:07:26.180 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know whether we need to share the entire documentation cause. There’s there is stuff there that’s about clients.

92 00:07:27.330 00:07:27.870 Nicolas Sucari: Because we.

93 00:07:27.870 00:07:32.319 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’s I think we should just share these individual documents as we need to.

94 00:07:33.010 00:07:38.850 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah, that’s that’s also fine. I mean, we can share each page, each document separately.

95 00:07:38.850 00:07:39.580 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

96 00:07:40.760 00:07:41.380 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

97 00:07:41.730 00:07:47.280 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s try that, and then I’ll we can. Now that we know that this is a problem we can kind of think about what to do.

98 00:07:48.960 00:07:54.160 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, no, that’s fine, and we keep the tools database to track ourselves.

99 00:07:54.610 00:07:57.729 Nicolas Sucari: The cost and the usage and that stuff.

100 00:07:58.860 00:07:59.470 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

101 00:08:00.880 00:08:05.869 Nicolas Sucari: Fine. Yeah, okay, I can create them. Now, I’m gonna start doing that

102 00:08:06.687 00:08:12.202 Nicolas Sucari: open a new window. And yeah, go with that one. Okay, perfect. Yeah. And then,

103 00:08:13.310 00:08:20.370 Nicolas Sucari: I think, I don’t know like Robert’s gonna be in the meeting. He’s gonna run it, or he’s expecting us to like.

104 00:08:20.820 00:08:21.719 Uttam Kumaran: I think.

105 00:08:21.720 00:08:22.150 Nicolas Sucari: It’s probably.

106 00:08:22.150 00:08:23.760 Uttam Kumaran: Going to be.

107 00:08:23.760 00:08:24.330 Nicolas Sucari: Both.

108 00:08:24.330 00:08:26.739 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I think it’s probably gonna be mostly us.

109 00:08:27.241 00:08:35.409 Uttam Kumaran: I think we just. I think it would be great if I think, basically, I mean, let’s yeah, I’ll just put some notes in the kickoff meeting here.

110 00:08:35.690 00:08:36.780 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

111 00:08:36.780 00:08:39.190 Nicolas Sucari: I added, like a small agenda. There.

112 00:08:39.685 00:08:41.170 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s perfect.

113 00:08:51.440 00:09:01.919 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, this is great. And then so today, it’s gonna be a Google meet. But I I will record like, I haven’t. I’ve been using this app to kind of record notes on my end, so I’ll record notes and I’ll put them in here.

114 00:09:01.920 00:09:02.570 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

115 00:09:02.570 00:09:07.070 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, maybe just give an introduction. And then I just kind of, I think if you can

116 00:09:08.930 00:09:12.330 Uttam Kumaran: I wanna just make sure that they can see this

117 00:09:12.780 00:09:16.000 Uttam Kumaran: notion page, and understand that we’re gonna be

118 00:09:16.260 00:09:19.720 Uttam Kumaran: like using. This is kind of like where we kind of keep things organized.

119 00:09:20.317 00:09:25.009 Uttam Kumaran: And then I’m just gonna go. I’m gonna send this to them now, but keep working on your end.

120 00:09:25.850 00:09:26.580 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

121 00:09:26.580 00:09:27.840 Uttam Kumaran: I think it should be, okay.

122 00:09:28.910 00:09:29.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

123 00:09:36.360 00:09:37.220 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.

124 00:11:26.570 00:11:34.199 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is like, so there’s gonna be tool links, which is like links to it’s gonna be like links to their

125 00:11:35.180 00:11:38.419 Uttam Kumaran: their snowflake. But then there’s also

126 00:11:41.050 00:11:43.830 Uttam Kumaran: There’s also links to

127 00:11:44.520 00:11:48.200 Uttam Kumaran: like, you know, their individual snowflake as well.

128 00:11:48.500 00:11:57.750 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe we should like. Let’s keep it. Let’s leave this here. But we’ll probably also create a section where we link out to their individual instances. You know what I mean.

129 00:11:58.840 00:12:00.130 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.

130 00:12:00.680 00:12:08.250 Uttam Kumaran: So I think this is great, though let’s leave this like this. I think we may end up creating like a documentation section for like.

131 00:12:09.040 00:12:09.810 Uttam Kumaran: let’s put this in.

132 00:12:09.810 00:12:10.290 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, let’s.

133 00:12:10.290 00:12:12.159 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s let’s leave it at this like this.

134 00:12:18.490 00:12:19.210 Uttam Kumaran: This is.

135 00:12:19.210 00:12:19.710 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

136 00:12:19.710 00:12:20.670 Uttam Kumaran: Amazing.

137 00:12:21.280 00:12:28.630 Nicolas Sucari: I’m I’m adding the tools to the reference section in documentation, I added, like Snowflake introduction.

138 00:12:28.650 00:12:31.689 Nicolas Sucari: I’ll keep adding the other ones real. Okay?

139 00:13:04.340 00:13:05.949 Nicolas Sucari: And I’m sharing.

140 00:13:06.340 00:13:09.890 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I need to share with Robert Aman.

141 00:16:19.130 00:16:22.110 Uttam Kumaran: So you you use AI to write all these.

142 00:16:25.860 00:16:28.680 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, yes.

143 00:16:28.680 00:16:31.159 Uttam Kumaran: At the bottom. It it wrote, those 2.

144 00:16:32.070 00:16:34.030 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Yeah. Claude.

145 00:16:34.030 00:16:34.510 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.

146 00:16:34.510 00:16:35.250 Nicolas Sucari: Everything.

147 00:16:35.600 00:16:36.879 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I even tried.

148 00:16:36.880 00:16:39.009 Uttam Kumaran: Have you tried using perplexity at all?

149 00:16:40.130 00:16:43.020 Nicolas Sucari: No! What is perplexity? Do we have access.

150 00:16:43.020 00:16:47.319 Uttam Kumaran: Try it. Dude. It’s like, it’s like Claude, except it has Google. It’s like Claude plus Google.

151 00:16:49.320 00:16:50.060 Nicolas Sucari: Nice.

152 00:16:51.540 00:16:52.460 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

153 00:16:53.220 00:16:53.780 Uttam Kumaran: To try.

154 00:16:53.780 00:16:54.730 Nicolas Sucari: That’s right.

155 00:16:55.610 00:16:58.419 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, no. I’ve been using claw, and I like, I.

156 00:16:58.420 00:16:59.060 Uttam Kumaran: Nice.

157 00:16:59.060 00:17:01.479 Nicolas Sucari: I added, like their homepage link

158 00:17:01.550 00:17:03.019 Nicolas Sucari: to each of the prompts.

159 00:17:03.030 00:17:11.519 Nicolas Sucari: So I don’t know if if Claude goes and scrapes like the the web page. But I mean, I I thought it was useful.

160 00:17:12.066 00:17:21.180 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah, maybe that worked. I don’t know. But yeah, I mean these. They give me the links, and they check, like all of the links with the documentation and stuff on this.

161 00:17:21.480 00:17:22.569 Nicolas Sucari: It’s pretty nice.

162 00:17:25.690 00:17:26.783 Uttam Kumaran: I try

163 00:17:29.440 00:17:36.399 Uttam Kumaran: 5 perplexity at some point. I just sent you the link. It’s good. I use it if I I use it instead of Google. Basically.

164 00:17:36.690 00:17:41.820 Uttam Kumaran: if I’m like asking questions and stuff, because this one will reference like new links and things. So.

165 00:17:42.770 00:17:43.490 Nicolas Sucari: Nice

166 00:17:48.090 00:17:50.739 Nicolas Sucari: 5 triangle or 5 triangles.

167 00:18:06.760 00:18:09.890 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Robert just said that. We’ll we’ll we’ll be running the meeting. So.

168 00:18:11.130 00:18:11.860 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.

169 00:18:26.770 00:18:28.820 Nicolas Sucari: I need to change the Logos.
