Python in Count just got a major upgrade:
✅ Install almost any package
✅ Work with as much data as the job needs — not just what a browser tab can hold
✅ Let the Count agent write, run, and review the Python for you
✅ Schedule it, refresh it, and fire alerts
✅ Forecasting, clustering, modeling — "notebook work" — now happens natively on the canvas.
It's live. Go build something. 🐍

Managing agents and context across a whole org is hard. This week we shipped three ways to make Count's agent your own ↓
→ Context for Connections — teach the agent about a specific data source. No semantic layer required.
→ Context via API — manage context from dbt, git, Notion, or wherever you already work. Versioned, never drifting.
→ Agent Telemetry — see how your team actually uses the agent in the new agent_history table.

Count now connects to any #MCP server as a data source — same as plugging in a database.
That means your support calls, docs, and the context scattered across your stack are suddenly things you can actually analyse. Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, Linear, Notion, GitHub, Intercom, Shopify, Salesforce, Fireflies, dbt and Cube semantic layers — plus a generic connection for everything else.
Add it, assign it to a project, pull it into the canvas with Count's agent. Qualitative and quantitative, side by side.
Your data never lived in one place. Now it doesn't have to.
"Jim is unsure if our sales are all over the place, or if we're killing it on Forex arbitrage.”
Count lets you build catalogs of trustable, governed, and highly usable metrics. Making your numbers always mean the same thing, in the same format, and same currency.
“What was that number you told me last week? The one about session sources”
I tell you lots of numbers. Every week.
Breathe.
Built on our Count Metrics semantic layer, "Explore" lets everyone in the business quickly work with governed metrics and dimensions themselves.
"I could build a spreadsheet, but I figured you data-people wouldn't like it.”
We'd be okay with it. But Excel-brain is a curse and Count is the cure.
Count lets you quickly build interactive calculators using DuckDB, control cells, and dynamic text.
"My CEO wants the numbers every Monday morning”
We feel you.
That's why Count lets you set up alerts. Schedule your data and visuals to push to email or Slack with just a few clicks 🙌
“They want to go back to how it was before.”
Simpler times? Or just the way they agreed they wanted it months ago?
Breathe.
Version tracking is built into Count, so you can rollback to those simpler times—data and all—with just a click.
“This is amazing. We should send it to everyone.”
Everyone? Really? But they might…change the amazing things.
It’s a good job that when you lock your canvas, viewers will be able to change filters and controls without affecting everyone else.
“She wants the trend line on top of monthly sales.”
No, she wants the moving average. But that’s okay.
Aggregations are easy in Count, and our flexible visualizations let you build up layers of information so people don’t just look, but think.
“He wants to see sales and profit joined-up together”
The new Head of Sales is becoming data-driven. Bless.
But Count has your back. It’s easy to compose visualisations so they share an axis and sort like he saw in his new book.
“We want them to know how it’s going... but not scare them, you know?”
What does that even mean?
Colored text is out I guess.
Those animated gifs? Not in this economy.
But Count has your back. By composing different marks, our visualizations meet even the vaguest of direction.
“She thinks it’s ‘okay’, she wants it to look more ‘official’ before the presentation”
Does she not realise what you’ve done? What you’ve achieved here? You have become data. Destroyer of problems.
But Count has your back. Our templates are your templates.
“Sorry, boss - I can’t help now. It takes me ages to pull the data for that meeting slide you like.”
You sly old fox you.
You’re not pulling anything. Because Count is updating your visuals, and even the text, dynamically from live data.
“You want them using data? In a workshop?!?”
Jim from Marketing will be there. But Jim’s just a misunderstood Excel Wizard.
That's why Count lets you make data—and Jim—interactive and useful with filters, dropdowns, sliders, overviews, and more.
⚡️ Count Performance Optimization Tip: Manual Cell Execution
If you're doing analysis that will involve a lot of edits to cells, you can turn off automatic cell execution. This means you'll reduce the number of queries to your database during your analysis 😎
"What do you mean it's not on brand?" 😡
"It's on a powerful, limitless canvas. What more could they want?"
But copying, pasting, and updating styles is only a few clicks, so you can meet them half-way 😎
"What do you mean we’re calling them customers now? Can they not just ignore the word user?"
In the database too?!?
How customer-centric of you.
Count can do some pretty transformative things. But sometimes you just need to find-all-replace so you can leave at 5pm. We got you.
The more dashboards you have, the more confused everyone is 😕
The more confusion, the more questions the data team gets asked ☹️
The more questions asked, the more dashboards get created 😭
