After months of building, we're finally in closed beta at Ridge AI

After months of building, we’re finally in closed beta at Ridge AI. Here’s what Jeff Heer, Ellie Fields, Andy Caley, and I have been working on.

A few weeks ago I wrote about how AI-native visualization tools need well-engineered constraints. While building the agents, I kept asking: which steps can we constrain to keep things focused and reliable? SQL-only queries instead of free-form code, automatic cross-chart filtering, consistent color encoding: each removes a degree of freedom, and the result is an interactive dashboard in under a minute. Leaving you free to ideate, adjust, and explore.

The payoff is a shift in attention. Instead of thinking primarily about how to visualize your data, you can anchor on your actual goals and questions.
