6 00:04:49.410 00:04:51.340 Uttam Kumaran: Can you go ahead and get started?

7 00:04:56.100 00:04:57.370 Awaish Kumar: Okay, we’re good.

8 00:04:59.700 00:05:06.969 Awaish Kumar: Do you have anything… Special, or just go with normal… Discussing about…

9 00:05:06.970 00:05:07.500 Uttam Kumaran: What’s…

10 00:05:07.620 00:05:20.049 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let’s just go normal client by client. I think… I just want to make sure, because I think this team probably has the most couple things to catch up on, so we can just go through all the core data clients.

11 00:05:20.220 00:05:25.729 Uttam Kumaran: And then, this afternoon will be… Some more special stuff, so…

12 00:05:26.190 00:05:26.900 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

13 00:05:29.300 00:05:33.890 Awaish Kumar: Okay, I… We’ll start with Magic Sport.

14 00:05:34.860 00:05:44.580 Awaish Kumar: So… For Magic Spoon, Ashman is not here, but, like, would like to start off with the Prefect.

15 00:05:46.170 00:05:50.639 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I would love to know where we end up on Sprints API, and…

16 00:05:51.250 00:05:55.810 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, Demlade, if you wanna have… Say something about your audit.

17 00:06:05.490 00:06:06.649 Awaish Kumar: We can’t hear.

18 00:06:06.650 00:06:10.210 Uttam Kumaran: Rico, do you wanna… Rico, do you wanna message Ashwini as well, so he can join?

19 00:06:11.210 00:06:12.440 Demilade Agboola: on it. Yes.

20 00:06:12.910 00:06:13.769 Demilade Agboola: Can you hear me now?

21 00:06:14.210 00:06:14.830 Awaish Kumar: Oh, yes.

22 00:06:14.830 00:06:15.490 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.

23 00:06:15.770 00:06:18.039 Demilade Agboola: Oh yeah, sorry, my mic was off.

24 00:06:18.270 00:06:25.399 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so for Magic Spoons, I plan to properly start, like, digging and just ripping things apart this week.

25 00:06:25.610 00:06:32.339 Demilade Agboola: So the goal is end of week to have, like, a proper… Like, report,

26 00:06:32.990 00:06:37.620 Demilade Agboola: things that can be optimized, and at least we can have a V1 of that, that…

27 00:06:37.820 00:06:42.720 Demilade Agboola: Like, the internal team can look at, and then we can probably send it to the…

28 00:06:42.870 00:06:44.970 Demilade Agboola: Magic Spawn’s team by next week.

29 00:06:48.450 00:06:49.170 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

30 00:06:51.580 00:06:58.780 Awaish Kumar: And, yeah, okay. And, yeah, that’s it for Magic Spoon, and…

31 00:06:59.450 00:07:03.520 Awaish Kumar: I think, like, if we have that audit, and then the…

32 00:07:03.730 00:07:07.719 Awaish Kumar: some prefix pipeline, that would be nice.

33 00:07:07.720 00:07:11.110 Uttam Kumaran: They wanted, they wanted to chat tomorrow, the melade?

34 00:07:11.380 00:07:14.419 Uttam Kumaran: Any chance you want, you wanna,

35 00:07:14.720 00:07:19.439 Uttam Kumaran: You want to go ahead and book that? I… they sent a message in the Slack channel.

36 00:07:19.950 00:07:25.940 Demilade Agboola: Okay, alright, I will look at that and book it. Also, I wanted to point out that,

37 00:07:26.170 00:07:29.150 Demilade Agboola: there is friction with this, like, OTP stuff.

38 00:07:29.870 00:07:31.560 Demilade Agboola: So…

39 00:07:33.780 00:07:37.330 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, let’s just keep… we just gotta keep bringing it up. I don’t think…

40 00:07:37.560 00:07:43.889 Uttam Kumaran: There’s much else we can… Do at this moment.

41 00:07:44.350 00:07:54.789 Uttam Kumaran: So every time we meet, we should just mention, like, hey, there’s, this is still adding a lot of friction. I mentioned it, like, hey, it took us a while to get access. So, let’s just keep bringing it up.

42 00:07:55.480 00:08:00.330 Demilade Agboola: Okay, because I know Ashwini wanted to get some work done, when I…

43 00:08:00.490 00:08:03.009 Demilade Agboola: Came to some messages where he was asking for.

44 00:08:03.260 00:08:08.120 Demilade Agboola: like, if there was any way we could get the OTP for… I believe it was GitHub?

45 00:08:08.880 00:08:10.700 Demilade Agboola: But, yeah.

46 00:08:10.700 00:08:12.100 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, this morning, alright?

47 00:08:12.500 00:08:13.110 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.

48 00:08:14.120 00:08:16.340 Awaish Kumar: Okay, we can’t move ahead.

49 00:08:17.330 00:08:24.010 Awaish Kumar: Maybe on Hydra, so I actually spoke with Sandra on Friday.

50 00:08:24.250 00:08:28.169 Awaish Kumar: She was asking for something, and that was…

51 00:08:28.500 00:08:35.969 Awaish Kumar: done, on Friday, and then… we have… she wanted us to use LLM for something.

52 00:08:36.460 00:08:44.139 Awaish Kumar: So, I can… like, I don’t know if we wanna… like, that’s not a kind of a big scope, what she’s asking for.

53 00:08:44.700 00:08:48.860 Awaish Kumar: Well, that’s an AI stuff, so, like, how we want to handle, like…

54 00:08:48.980 00:08:55.289 Awaish Kumar: As a part of the, just the data team, or do you want to have separate, like, scoping plan for that?

55 00:08:55.290 00:08:56.859 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, what is the scope?

56 00:08:57.600 00:09:01.949 Awaish Kumar: What she wants is, like, for each generation, the users are prompting

57 00:09:02.600 00:09:19.580 Awaish Kumar: And for each prompt, they want to classify into some category. They want to use LLMs to basically have an automated pipeline whenever there are new prompts. It just classifies into some categories, like what type of content it is, marketing content.

58 00:09:19.850 00:09:21.000 Awaish Kumar: Hold on. Okay.

59 00:09:21.280 00:09:24.590 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think that’s… that’s honestly probably still…

60 00:09:24.730 00:09:28.059 Uttam Kumaran: like, data team, I feel like it’s not too much AI.

61 00:09:28.960 00:09:29.870 Uttam Kumaran: But…

62 00:09:29.870 00:09:38.280 Awaish Kumar: It requires LM calling, and… And in a pipeline, like, like, a pipeline or something.

63 00:09:40.550 00:09:45.969 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so that’s… that’s… that’s just a new ticket. Is it… is it a new ticket, or is it an entirely new, like, scope?

64 00:09:46.950 00:09:53.529 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, we are… like, right now, we are just doing some dbt modeling, right? So it’s an entirely new thing.

65 00:09:54.210 00:09:56.980 Awaish Kumar: Only thing that… like, there’s nothing we are…

66 00:09:57.080 00:10:00.780 Awaish Kumar: doing for them, like, in terms of LLM, so…

67 00:10:00.910 00:10:03.659 Awaish Kumar: what she wanted to know, basically an eye also, like.

68 00:10:03.800 00:10:06.740 Awaish Kumar: Maybe I will ask Sam. What I need to know is that

69 00:10:07.250 00:10:11.589 Awaish Kumar: what is the cost for, like, making the calls to LLM?

70 00:10:11.920 00:10:21.900 Awaish Kumar: Yeah. Then we can just say, this is the minimum cost estimation and plus hours for this task, and if they approve, we can just do that in this week.

71 00:10:22.520 00:10:28.190 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah. I mean, one thing that you can do is you can write up, like, a quick one-page scope.

72 00:10:28.450 00:10:33.529 Uttam Kumaran: Which just has, like, the goal and has some information about how we’re gonna do it.

73 00:10:34.140 00:10:39.609 Uttam Kumaran: You know, that could be a good thing. You can easily use Cursor to help you write that.

74 00:10:40.560 00:10:43.520 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I can do that. I will just need some…

75 00:10:43.790 00:10:50.609 Awaish Kumar: maybe I can do some L&M cost as well, and then… I will send it for you.

76 00:10:54.680 00:11:01.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. And then, they still want to just continue, like, hourly, right? They don’t want to, like… you don’t know yet if they want a bigger scope?

77 00:11:03.520 00:11:10.869 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, for now, she just wants to do that, but, like, the three things in, like, the…

78 00:11:11.660 00:11:14.970 Awaish Kumar: I sent you, like, earlier, like.

79 00:11:15.270 00:11:20.619 Awaish Kumar: They have more scope, like, for example, this retention analysis and the…

80 00:11:20.770 00:11:21.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

81 00:11:21.430 00:11:22.150 Awaish Kumar: No.

82 00:11:22.630 00:11:27.849 Awaish Kumar: The product analytics works team, basically, these are the biggest, and they can, like.

83 00:11:29.260 00:11:35.429 Awaish Kumar: If we can show them that, okay, what they can benefit from us on those two things, then they can be…

84 00:11:35.600 00:11:38.259 Awaish Kumar: Quick might convert to monthly, or something.

85 00:11:38.750 00:11:42.990 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay, so then we can, we can also put together SOWs for those as well.

86 00:11:44.200 00:11:47.809 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe if you want to create a ticket for that, we can work on that this week.

87 00:11:50.710 00:11:51.909 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool.

88 00:11:54.680 00:11:58.229 Uttam Kumaran: I can show you how to… I can show you how to do it pretty easily in cursor.

89 00:12:00.880 00:12:02.280 Awaish Kumar: Okay, far…

90 00:12:05.420 00:12:06.500 Awaish Kumar: I’m not dead.

91 00:12:26.340 00:12:27.180 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

92 00:12:34.900 00:12:45.980 Awaish Kumar: And, yeah, so that’s it for Hedra, and… Then for CTA, ashwin is not here.

93 00:12:48.420 00:12:49.850 Awaish Kumar: So, I’m not sure…

94 00:12:50.160 00:12:52.170 Uttam Kumaran: Probably Way Kalash from me for the update.

95 00:12:57.150 00:12:59.090 Uttam Kumaran: Their CES is this week.

96 00:12:59.230 00:13:04.999 Uttam Kumaran: So that team is gonna be largely offline, probably, but we still have work that we can do.

97 00:13:08.370 00:13:09.410 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah.

98 00:13:11.270 00:13:15.459 Awaish Kumar: So, like, we have some modeling tickets and stuff like that.

99 00:13:16.000 00:13:16.640 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

100 00:13:18.590 00:13:22.639 Awaish Kumar: But yeah, we will sing with Ashwini once he’s here.

101 00:13:23.030 00:13:23.570 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

102 00:13:24.320 00:13:27.530 Awaish Kumar: And apart from that, we have Element.

103 00:13:27.700 00:13:29.659 Awaish Kumar: So, there are quite a few…

104 00:13:30.590 00:13:35.099 Awaish Kumar: meetings, with Element this week, and then I have, like,

105 00:13:35.480 00:13:39.070 Awaish Kumar: So, I will be setting up the dbt GitHub Actions.

106 00:13:39.410 00:13:43.850 Awaish Kumar: for them, along… and then I started modeling Shopify.

107 00:13:46.550 00:13:51.809 Awaish Kumar: With flags, like, separating it… ECOM with wholesale.

108 00:13:53.520 00:13:56.719 Awaish Kumar: Retail with wholesale, and then we can basically

109 00:13:57.980 00:14:02.849 Awaish Kumar: Like, we have multiple calls, so yeah, like, kind of that is the plan for this.

110 00:14:03.610 00:14:04.570 Awaish Kumar: For this week.

111 00:14:05.750 00:14:06.480 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

112 00:14:08.970 00:14:09.899 Awaish Kumar: You know,

113 00:14:11.370 00:14:20.919 Awaish Kumar: And also, like, for element, we might need to include, like, some analytics engineer.

114 00:14:21.720 00:14:25.220 Awaish Kumar: To start with… the modeling.

115 00:14:25.810 00:14:27.020 Awaish Kumar: And…

116 00:14:28.110 00:14:35.629 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I will follow up, also follow up with Polytomic team on… on the Amazon, Walmart, and where to go collectors.

117 00:14:36.670 00:14:37.320 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

118 00:14:40.640 00:14:47.399 Awaish Kumar: And… then we have… So, we have been watching on Urban Stems this week.

119 00:14:48.750 00:14:51.030 Awaish Kumar: Devilani, do you have any update?

120 00:14:53.460 00:14:59.819 Demilade Agboola: So I have been looking into the urban stems issues. It appears that Emily made some comments,

121 00:15:00.430 00:15:06.940 Demilade Agboola: in the Looker, like, in the LookerML portion of their… they’re…

122 00:15:08.040 00:15:15.730 Demilade Agboola: codebase, and that’s probably what the issue is. I haven’t necessarily figured out what the exact commit was that is causing all this issue.

123 00:15:15.920 00:15:19.680 Demilade Agboola: But I’m still looking at it, and I hope to get it resolved today.

124 00:15:19.810 00:15:20.820 Demilade Agboola: That’s the plan.

125 00:15:25.220 00:15:25.910 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

126 00:15:28.790 00:15:30.090 Demilade Agboola: Then we have…

127 00:15:31.570 00:15:32.260 Awaish Kumar: Bye.

128 00:15:33.330 00:15:34.520 Awaish Kumar: Default.

129 00:15:34.850 00:15:37.250 Awaish Kumar: Mustafa, do you want to give updates?

130 00:15:40.370 00:15:45.490 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, so… 203, would be done.

131 00:15:45.970 00:15:52.529 Mustafa Raja: And also 170, 178 is also good to be done.

132 00:15:52.700 00:15:57.439 Mustafa Raja: And then, I need to make progress in 2 and 3.

133 00:16:00.860 00:16:01.530 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

134 00:16:01.530 00:16:03.160 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I need to start working on those.

135 00:16:04.280 00:16:08.500 Awaish Kumar: Okay, Demolade?

136 00:16:10.930 00:16:16.720 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so 1x1 is basically done, I will just send the… Link.

137 00:16:17.420 00:16:21.079 Demilade Agboola: To the products integration dash today, to the team.

138 00:16:21.500 00:16:30.109 Demilade Agboola: And basically, I will start to… I will, like, start working on the ETL plan for a default, basically,

139 00:16:30.240 00:16:34.639 Demilade Agboola: Putting together how we want to start, Having the data flow.

140 00:16:35.000 00:16:36.230 Demilade Agboola: within default.

141 00:16:39.070 00:16:44.640 Awaish Kumar: Okay, and, like, wasn’t 203 already finished before holidays?

142 00:16:45.340 00:16:47.840 Demilade Agboola: Yes, yes, it was. I don’t know why it’s still…

143 00:16:50.090 00:16:54.839 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so, like, we can start with Salesforce data exploration this week as well.

144 00:16:55.320 00:17:03.309 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we can, just getting an idea of what’s happening within Salesforce. Actually, we can start with 204 and 205, actually.

145 00:17:04.380 00:17:05.050 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.

146 00:17:08.740 00:17:11.470 Awaish Kumar: I can put them in, to-do.

147 00:17:20.740 00:17:26.770 Awaish Kumar: Okay, and then finally on… Aiden…

148 00:17:32.100 00:17:35.650 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, so do you have any updates, Nevadia, on Eden?

149 00:17:36.960 00:17:44.030 Demilade Agboola: Not particularly. The only thing I have is there were some issues over this weekend, which I resolved.

150 00:17:44.560 00:17:50.930 Demilade Agboola: It was a cast… pasting era, there was a union that was done, but the types…

151 00:17:51.090 00:17:54.179 Demilade Agboola: Some new data must have come in, and the types were not matching.

152 00:17:54.290 00:17:58.690 Demilade Agboola: So I made that fix, and I refreshed the entire tableau.

153 00:17:58.840 00:18:05.299 Demilade Agboola: Space, like, the data refreshes, and… everything’s fine now.

154 00:18:05.790 00:18:11.730 Demilade Agboola: So that’s… that was over… that was, like, an ad hoc thing over the weekend. I was, like, yesterday.

155 00:18:12.060 00:18:16.739 Demilade Agboola: In terms of these tasks, I don’t necessarily have any feedback on them.

156 00:18:17.180 00:18:18.740 Demilade Agboola: I will…

157 00:18:20.820 00:18:21.540 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

158 00:18:22.060 00:18:22.770 Demilade Agboola: Yeah.

159 00:18:23.280 00:18:24.180 Awaish Kumar: And what.

160 00:18:24.180 00:18:27.320 Demilade Agboola: I think this… I think that’s done, though, 190.

161 00:18:27.950 00:18:33.929 Demilade Agboola: I think this is done. I will confirm, but I believe this is done. I know I pushed a PR for this.

162 00:18:34.230 00:18:37.289 Demilade Agboola: And the numbers were way, like, better and closer.

163 00:18:37.530 00:18:40.570 Demilade Agboola: So for this, this modeling count, I… I’m…

164 00:18:41.320 00:18:48.479 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so 1290 is done, I believe. I will confirm, but I will just work on the ticket behind the scenes, but I know I worked on it.

165 00:18:48.750 00:18:50.330 Demilade Agboola: Before the end of the year.

166 00:18:50.440 00:18:55.999 Demilade Agboola: And then for 1282, I’m not sure I’ve done this, I think it’s still to do.

167 00:18:57.930 00:19:02.859 Awaish Kumar: Okay, then, like, maybe we will also…

168 00:19:03.450 00:19:10.800 Awaish Kumar: During the day, get some updates on what’s the plan for Eden, and based on that, we might add new tickets.

169 00:19:10.990 00:19:15.649 Awaish Kumar: And then also, I need to ask Ashwini on what is updates.

170 00:19:16.380 00:19:23.640 Demilade Agboola: Also, can we spike the north beam to… the incremental data into Northbeam.

171 00:19:24.200 00:19:31.559 Demilade Agboola: Michael Influencer data, because I know Stuart has been looking for it, and he seems to be pushing a bit more for that data.

172 00:19:32.050 00:19:38.800 Demilade Agboola: I’m not sure if it has been done, or, you know, what the holdup is, but I know Ashrini was working on it, I don’t know what the progress on that is.

173 00:19:39.580 00:19:42.530 Awaish Kumar: What do you mean by incremental Northstream data?

174 00:19:43.290 00:19:50.790 Demilade Agboola: So, I know… Yeah, so I know some of the influencer data

175 00:19:51.090 00:19:54.400 Demilade Agboola: they want it in North Beam, so they can see.

176 00:19:54.780 00:19:57.789 Awaish Kumar: So that’s the reverse ETL part, right? And it was done.

177 00:19:59.240 00:20:00.080 Awaish Kumar: Whoa.

178 00:20:01.170 00:20:05.470 Demilade Agboola: I will confirm… I… Storis is reaching out, like, Storage reached out to me on the 31st.

179 00:20:05.790 00:20:07.959 Demilade Agboola: Asking about the influencer spend.

180 00:20:08.210 00:20:15.620 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, over the weekend, too, we were talking about it. He basically wants to be able to see it in North Bend.

181 00:20:16.010 00:20:18.939 Demilade Agboola: I don’t know if it has been done, so I just need to confirm.

182 00:20:19.630 00:20:27.810 Awaish Kumar: Ashwini did send some pipelines for Dexter, and yeah, we’ll check if they are failing or something.

183 00:20:28.110 00:20:29.010 Demilade Agboola: Okay.

184 00:20:29.450 00:20:34.530 Awaish Kumar: They were for both the Fluence and the… Godless.

185 00:20:35.420 00:20:37.029 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay, alright, sounds good.

186 00:20:41.450 00:20:45.360 Awaish Kumar: Okay, then, yeah, that’s it.

187 00:20:49.290 00:20:54.559 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. So, a little bit of update for today. So, I’m gonna be sending out,

188 00:20:54.970 00:21:08.890 Uttam Kumaran: you know, a little bit around a new kind of way we’re gonna do some stuff in the delivery. It’s actually not gonna be too much different than what we’re used to, just a couple more meetings and a little bit more well-defined scopes, so I’ll be working with ops team to send that out today.

189 00:21:10.270 00:21:25.510 Uttam Kumaran: And so that’ll add some clarity. I think still this week, yeah, we need to… I think kind of big focus is to nail, stuff for default and magic spoons. I think Demolade, the Urban Stems thing, I’m not sure, like, what they want us to do, and they haven’t given us much clarity, so I wouldn’t…

190 00:21:25.570 00:21:32.510 Uttam Kumaran: focus, you know, too much there. I would say Magic Spoons and Default, making sure that those are

191 00:21:32.770 00:21:35.129 Uttam Kumaran: Going well, and then…

192 00:21:35.280 00:21:47.929 Uttam Kumaran: You know, in a lot… in lining up with, like, kind of, like, what we’re discussing about these, like, CSO roles, we’ll… we’ll talk, about how do we prepare for, you know, client meetings and things like that, so I’m gonna send a big note out right now.

193 00:21:48.170 00:21:50.830 Uttam Kumaran: You know, that sort of highlights everything.

194 00:21:51.120 00:22:00.249 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think it would be great, Awish, if we can get on the phone with Ashwini, because he has the, kind of, the keys for DES and Magic Spoons.

195 00:22:00.390 00:22:01.560 Uttam Kumaran: ETL.

196 00:22:01.750 00:22:04.179 Uttam Kumaran: So, definitely want to try to chat with him.

197 00:22:06.080 00:22:19.310 Uttam Kumaran: And then this week, we’ll also talk, about, you know, resourcing. I think it’s clear we probably need one more AE, maybe one more DE, so we can talk about resourcing this week as a data team, so…

198 00:22:20.100 00:22:20.820 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

199 00:22:21.860 00:22:22.400 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

200 00:22:23.630 00:22:25.069 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect.

201 00:22:25.550 00:22:26.869 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, thank you guys.

202 00:22:28.300 00:22:29.040 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

203 00:22:29.400 00:22:31.120 Demilade Agboola: Thank you, Happy New Year.

204 00:22:31.760 00:22:32.450 Awaish Kumar: Villa.
