For thirty years, we cleaned data for humans.
Now, agents are reading it.
What do we do differently?

On **Tue 𝟳 Jul 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟮-𝟲pm IST**, I'm running a [Fifth Elephant workshop: "**When Data is for Agents, Not Humans**"](https://hasgeek.com/fifthelephant/when-data-is-for-agents-workshop/).

I have a few theories we'll be testing on your data. Like:

**Tools beat tables**. Agents prefers functions over tables they can read.\
**Logs beat docs**. Logs show actual usage - not how we're supposed to use it.\
**Messy beats clean**. Agents can do clean & join data. You just need descriptions.

I'm not fully sure how much of this is right. That's the point. We'll work it out together, on _your_ data.

We'll do two things.

1. See how one dataset looks to a human vs an agent - then **rebuild it for the agent**.
2. **Use agents to rebuild** the data. They're good at it.

**For**: data/AI engineers, BI folks, anyone publishing schemas, docs or APIs.

**Bring**: a laptop, a **paid** ChatGPT/Claude account, and a dataset you have and like.

It's both online and in-person. 30 seats.

I'll share the recording.\
Attend only if you want to actually _do_ stuff live.
