Summary

What they found

Analytics voice Ryan Dolley tests Ridge AI live and explains why its browser-based architecture stands out in a crowded embedded analytics market.

On SuperDataBros, Ryan Dolley tests Ridge AI live: a million rows filter instantly in the browser, and he takes raw data to an embedded analytics app on his own website.

Ryan also wrote about Ridge on LinkedIn, where he looks at the state of embedded analytics. He notes that many vendors are moving into the space, and that adapting an existing BI tool for embedded use is harder than it looks.

What stood out

  • A new unit of analytics. A Ridge bundles data, visualizations and context, and runs in the browser.
  • Speed. Only natural-language inference calls leave the browser.
  • Product-first building. AI-assisted building is framed around product thinking rather than IT concerns.

The architecture fits the way product teams think. Build a ridge to solve a defined customer data problem vs a sprawling BI estate designed to answer every question imaginable.
