It’s just from 2016.” At a conference where frustration with Power BI and Tableau was hardly a secret, attendees were particularly interested in how Plotly Studio connects directly to Power BI semantic models, preserving data investments while unlocking the customization and flexibility traditional BI tools can’t provide. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and <a href="https://plotly.com/events/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=march2026">see where we’ll be next.</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*L2MpDxANeLstlTcV" /></figure><h3>⚙️ Plotly Studio Data Sources</h3><p>If Python can connect to it, Plotly Studio can visualize it.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/828/1*DZGPDcBlc-ORfclHPiJAGg.png" /></figure><h4>What do you do at Plotly?</h4><p>I spread the good word about Plotly! As the Business Development Manager, I lead a team that engages data science, engineering, and analytics leaders to proactively educate the market on the value of Plotly. We start conversations that lead to better solutions for data teams, and strategically bring the Plotly team in at the right time in those conversations.</p><h4><strong>What three words describe your Plotly experience?</strong></h4><p>Creativity, growth, curiosity.</p><h4>What’s your favorite work-from-home snack or beverage?</h4><p>I’m really into sardines lately. Judge if you must, but they are very high in protein! My pantry has about four different varieties currently stocked.</p><h4>If you were to describe Plotly as a color or a flavor, what would it be and why?</h4><p>The first thing that comes to mind is bubble gum ice cream. Partly because the bubble gum reminds me of our logo, but also because there’s no shortage of exciting projects when you’re working at Plotly. I’ve gotten to do so many different things here that I wouldn’t have been able to do at other companies!</p><h4><strong>What’s your favorite part about working at Plotly?</strong></h4><p>No two conversations are alike — I get to support customers from small startups to Fortune 500 companies, all over the world, in every industry across the board. As a curious person who loves learning, it really scratches the itch.</p><h4>How has Plotly shaped your perspective on remote work or data visualization?</h4><p>I love Plotly’s remote work approach. Plotly hired me while I was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-worker-ditches-sky-high-rents-for-a-25k-van-2021-6">traveling the country, living in a van</a>. It was refreshing to work at a company that supported that. I’ve settled into a “real” home now, but that first year was always a fun game of “Where’s Waldo (Erica) today?!”</p><h4>Most memorable team activity?</h4><p>A member of our Sales Engineering team led a Social Club virtual gathering a while back, where everyone brought their dogs, and that was a good time. I vote for more animals on Zoom calls.</p><h4>What’s your favorite hobby?</h4><p>I just started playing a monthly poker night in my neighborhood — I’m hoping to sharpen those skills!</p><h4>Proudest accomplishments at Plotly?</h4><p>I’m very proud of helping Plotly grow from initially only an inbound sales team to an outbound growth machine. We’ve been able to transition to the “hard part” of sales, which is, instead of sitting back and waiting for leads to come to us, we go out and find people who need to know about Plotly but never would have otherwise found us on their own. It’s not for the faint of heart; my team has to weather a lot of rejection, but it fosters a really supportive environment because we have to encourage each other through the challenge — celebrate together when we win and not take ourselves too seriously when we fail.</p><h4>What’s one Plotly feature you wish more people knew about?</h4><p><a href="https://plotly.com/studio/">PLOTLY STUDIO</a>. Hands down. AI-native data analytics is a very exciting place to be right now, and it’s so cool that someone like me, who really has no technical chops, can build a dashboard that (a year ago) would have taken a skilled Python developer hours, if not days.</p><p>The goal ahead now is getting that news about Plotly Studio to reach beyond the technical audience we’ve long been known for, and out to a whole new category of non-technical users that can now build pixel-perfect Python-backed data apps with ease.</p><h4>What are you most excited about for the future of Plotly or your team?</h4><p>It’s hard to think about “the future” of anything tech-related right now and not land on AI in some way. It feels like the beginning of the internet all over again. I’m excited to see how AI accelerates the Plotly products as well as how it accelerates my team to have meaningful conversations with so many more people than we ever could have before.</p><p>I’m an “expert” when it comes to Plotly, but I have to translate the value to industries I don’t necessarily work in daily with a message that resonates with them. AI tools accelerate my learning about what matters to someone uniquely (visualizing financial data vs someone analyzing scientific research results) so that I’m not spamming them with outreach that lacks relevance.</p><h4>How do you stay creative or innovative in your role?</h4><p>I really think the best way to stay creative at work is to stay creative outside of work. When I’m not at my laptop 9–5, you can probably find me renovating some section of my house :) Working with my hands and using a different part of my brain gives me the balance to bring that creative energy back to Plotly.</p><h4>What advice would you give to someone aspiring to work in Sales at Plotly?</h4><p>The best salespeople don’t necessarily have the most sales experience. Don’t discount your knowledge, even if it’s not in sales. My first manager told me this when she hired me with no experience at all. She said she knew I would be good at business development because my time as a classroom teacher would help me communicate complex concepts in a simple way, my time as a whitewater rafting guide meant I would bring some fun and charm to my conversations, and my time as a fitness trainer meant I knew how to push hard and work toward goals.</p><p>If you’re self-motivated and you love helping people, you’ve got the stuff to work in Sales at Plotly.</p><h4>Where is the next place you’d like to travel?</h4><p>Japan is very high on the list! I’ve heard the food is top-notch (a very big part of travel for me). I’m a sucker for a good spa experience, and they’re known for onsens, and I’ve heard the culture is very kind, considerate, and values quality. It checks all the boxes, but that flight time has been holding me back. Maybe 2026 is finally the year to go — we will see.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=12cf6b3afcc1" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/plotly/meet-erica-horn-manager-sales-development-at-plotly-12cf6b3afcc1">Meet Erica Horn, Manager, Sales Development, at Plotly</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/plotly">Plotly</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new year is officially here, and we’re starting it with fresh energy at Plotly! 🎊✨ Whether you’re joining virtually or face-to-face, we’ve got a lot lined up this year. Get ready to discover what’s new and next in data visualization with Plotly!</p><p>In this newsletter:</p><ul><li><a href="#3bbd">Upcoming Webinar — Meet Plotly Cloud: Dash Apps as a Team Sport</a></li><li><a href="#9dca">The New Plotly Studio: AI-first business intelligence and analytics</a></li><li><a href="#051b">Meet the New Plotly Studio</a></li><li><a href="#ed5c">Plotly x IBCS App Challenge</a></li><li><a href="#8b1c">New resources to learn data viz &amp; Plotly</a></li><li><a href="#e0d2">Resources</a></li></ul><h3>☁️ Meet Plotly Cloud: Dash Apps as a Team Sport</h3><p>You’ve analyzed the data. Maybe run a few models. The insights are solid, your stakeholders are impressed, and now comes the question: how do we actually turn this into something everyone can benefit from?</p><p>Join us February 10 @ 11am EST for a webinar that shows you a better way: Plotly Cloud, our platform that transforms ad-hoc analysis into collaborative analytics workflows so your team can focus on finding insights, not wrestling with distribution.</p><p>Featuring a special guest: Dan Fink, VP of Engineering at BuildingLogiX, is joining us to share how his team shifted from siloed work to seamless collaboration in 5 months using Plotly Cloud. Real wins, real challenges, real lessons learned. Nathan Drezner, Plotly’s Technical Product Manager, will demo team workspaces, stakeholder collaboration features, and deployment workflows that eliminate the “how do we share this?” bottleneck.</p><p>If you’re working with Dash, then you don’t want to miss this one — <a href="https://plotly.com/webinars/plotly-cloud-dash-apps-team-sport/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">save your spot!</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*Pier9nMbHWrUovJP" /></figure><h3>🤖 The New Plotly Studio: AI-first business intelligence and analytics</h3><p>Remember when data work was about discovery, not maintenance? When you spent your days uncovering patterns instead of troubleshooting broken pipelines and tweaking hex codes?</p><p>Our January 27 session revealed a different approach. We walked through Plotly Studio, our AI-powered analytics platform designed to handle the tedious parts so you can focus on what matters: the insights themselves.</p><p>In the recording, you’ll see real-time demonstrations of analytics that update automatically, dashboards that adapt to your needs with simple requests, and interactive reports stakeholders can explore independently. <a href="https://plotly.com/webinars/new-plotly-studio-ai-bi-analytics/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">Watch on-demand now!</a></p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Ftxy27yDm138%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dtxy27yDm138&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Ftxy27yDm138%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/3499adfac793b33c2fb75a848883d753/href">https://medium.com/media/3499adfac793b33c2fb75a848883d753/href</a></iframe><h3>📊 Meet the New Plotly Studio</h3><p>Business intelligence is fundamentally changing. The old playbook — static dashboards, rigid templates, weeks of development time — doesn’t match what’s possible today. Data analytics teams need always-on insights that support timely action, not just historical data reports and charts that take months to customize.</p><p>The latest version of Plotly Studio reflects this shift. It generates interactive, production-grade analytics apps and dashboards from your data in under a minute, dynamically connecting to any Python-accessible data source and beyond. AI writes clean Python code to build your dashboards, which you can then refine with natural language or edit directly. When you’re ready, publish to Plotly Cloud or Dash Enterprise with one click.</p><p>Plotly Studio handles the full cycle: data connection, exploration, dashboard creation, collaboration, and production deployment, all while maintaining the trust and auditability that code-based analytics provide.</p><p>As Chris Parmer, our CPO and Co-Founder, puts it: “BI vendors are raising prices while bolting on AI features that don’t match what’s possible now. That gap is only widening. We’ve built Plotly Studio for the new reality of BI and analytics.”</p><p><a href="https://plotly.com/news/plotly-challenges-legacy-bi-tools-with-the-new-ai-powered-plotly-studio?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">Read the full announcement</a> and <a href="https://plotly.com/blog/new-plotly-studio-ai-native-analytics-for-production/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">dive deeper into what’s new.</a></p><h3>💼 Plotly x IBCS App Challenge</h3><p>We’re kicking off 2026 with a new app challenge: create reusable prompt templates for IBCS chart types in Plotly Studio.</p><p>The International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) provide a universal framework for clear, consistent business charts, and we aim to harness Plotly Studio’s power to make these standards accessible to everyone. Your mission is to choose an IBCS chart from their official examples, recreate it in Plotly Studio with a similar dataset, and craft a comprehensive prompt that others can reuse. Submit your chosen chart type, an image of your Plotly Studio creation, and your complete prompt by end of day February 15, 2026 for a chance to <a href="https://community.plotly.com/t/plotly-ibcs-chart-challenge/95837?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">win a cash prize</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/0*f56tW2OiCGn3bsg8" /></figure><h3>🤩 New resources to learn data viz &amp; Plotly</h3><h4>Plotly Studio Benchmarks</h4><p>Most AI data tools look impressive in demos. But what happens when you throw messy, real-world datasets at them?</p><p>We wanted to know the answer, so we built a benchmarking system to evaluate AI. Every day, Plotly Studio automatically generates dashboards from 111 diverse datasets — finance, healthcare, climate, sports, supply chain, and more — spanning simple CSVs to complex 100k-row files.</p><p>The result? A 99.1% success rate with a median generation time of 98 seconds. <a href="https://plotly.com/studio/benchmarks/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=plotly_news&amp;utm_content=january2026">Browse our complete benchmark gallery</a> to see exactly how Plotly Studio handles hundreds of real use cases.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>People in Focus: Inside Justen Walker’s First 90 Days, A Reflection on Creativity, Curiosity, and Code</h3><p>In this edition of <em>People in Focus</em>, we’re excited to introduce Justen Walker, our new Staff Software Engineer on the Cloud team. He shares his early experiences, what surprised him most, and how he sees Plotly’s core values — Creativity, Scrappiness, Innovation, Curiosity, Honesty, and Execution — come to life.</p><h4><strong>What first drew you to Plotly, and what did you hope to find here?</strong></h4><p>I was drawn to an opportunity to work with a small team and make a large impact. Plotly empowers not only data scientists, developers, and highly technical people; but *anyone* who has data they care about and wish to transform into something that tells a story and can help make decisions. I hoped to find a place where I can apply my experience with cloud infrastructure over the past decade and make a meaningful impact in days, not weeks or months. I believe that is what I found.</p><h4><strong>When you think back to your first few weeks, what stands out most: a moment, a feeling, or a realization?</strong></h4><p>The immediate trust placed in me. Rather than being tasked with reading documentation or onboarding tasks for weeks, I was solving real problems.</p><p>By the end of my first week, I was presenting technical proposals to the team and writing design documentation for my first project. The team gave me trust and ownership from day one, which was exhilarating.</p><h4><strong>What was your very first project at Plotly, and which company value do you think it best represents?</strong></h4><p>My first major project was building secrets management infrastructure — the secure foundation that allows applications to safely connect to databases and external services. This project embodies <strong>i</strong>nnovation and being <strong>s</strong>crappy while working together.</p><p>Innovation because we were developing a new capability that could be applicable to different kinds of customers, not just cloud users. We evaluated modern alternatives, designed for future scale and multi-tenancy, and thought carefully about how this infrastructure would serve different deployment models.</p><p>Scrappy because we had to move fast and deliver value early. I had done a similar project at a previous company and we didn’t really deliver value until about a year later; At Plotly, we pushed to make this available to Plotly Studio in an accelerated timeline.</p><p><strong>Learn more about Plotly’s values: plotly.com/about-us.</strong></p><h4><strong>How did your first project challenge you to be <em>Creative</em>, to think beyond the obvious, or combine imagination with technical skill?</strong></h4><p>Secrets management has a classic “chicken and egg” problem: you need secrets to be secure before you can use them, but you need the system running to secure them. I designed a solution that could bootstrap itself by automatically initializing the secure vault, and applying configuration. All of this is done without human intervention, and is now a common part of every environment.</p><h4><strong>In what ways did you need to be “<em>Scrappy”</em>, working smart, adapting fast, or finding a creative solution with limited time or resources?</strong></h4><p>Scrappy is not just about working with limited resources, but also reading the situation and focusing on what delivers the most value right now, not just completing what you started. I was deep into one project when a more urgent infrastructure change became critical. I parked what I was working on, executed the removal quickly and safely, and then resumed my original work.</p><h4><strong>How have you experienced<em> “Innovation”</em> firsthand at Plotly, whether through AI integration, team experimentation, or problem-solving?</strong></h4><p>I’ve both contributed to and witnessed innovation here. One example: I saw an opportunity to use AI to improve our deployment process. Before rolling changes to production, the system now automatically summarizes what’s about to deploy in plain language, making it easier for everyone to understand the impact before approving. This wasn’t requested; I saw a problem (lack of visibility) and built a solution using modern AI capabilities.</p><p>Another example: One of my teammates saw an opportunity to optimize some of our cloud costs. He created a design doc, we iterated on the solution, and he was able to deploy this into production in a matter of weeks; channeling our spend towards efforts that give our customers the ability to deploy more applications.</p><p>The team culture supports this kind of experimentation. We’re encouraged to prototype ideas, gather feedback, and iterate.</p><h4><strong>How has your “<em>Curiosity”</em> helped you learn or connect more deeply with your team or the product?</strong></h4><p>My curiosity drove me to understand the entire system, not just my immediate work. Early on, I sought out conversations with engineers across teams in order to understand how our enterprise product works, how different teams think about similar problems, and where the real pain points are. Each conversation was driven by genuine curiosity about how others think and work, which built relationships and made me more effective.</p><p>I also dove into problems outside my immediate scope. When I noticed something wasn’t working as expected, I’d dig in even if it wasn’t my assigned task. That curiosity often led to improvements that benefited the whole team.</p><h4><strong>What does “<em>Honesty”</em> look like to you in the way Plotly teams communicate or make decisions?</strong></h4><p>Honesty shows up in how we assess ourselves. Early in my time here, the team openly acknowledged that parts of the stack needed investment and that knowledge of certain parts of our code-base wasn’t as distributed equally. That kind of honest self-assessment is how teams get better.</p><p>It also shows up in code reviews and technical discussions. Feedback is direct and focused on making the work better, not on politics or ego. When things break in production, the communication is about resolution, not blame. That mutual honesty makes collaboration work.</p><h4><strong>Where have you seen “<em>Execution”</em> come to life, moving ideas into action quickly but thoughtfully?</strong></h4><p>Ideas don’t languish in planning here. The pattern I’ve experienced: write a design document, gather feedback, build a proof of concept, iterate, ship. All within weeks, not months.</p><p>One rather large project went from initial proposal to production deployment in about six weeks, with proper validation and team review along the way: quick, but thoughtful.</p><p>When priorities shift, the team can pivot fast without losing momentum.</p><h4><strong>What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself since joining Plotly?</strong></h4><p>I’ve learned that I naturally think about how to make the team more effective, not just complete my own tasks. Creating debugging tools, implementing workflow improvements, writing documentation that saves others time. These were not pre-planned assignments. They emerged from my instinct to make everyone more capable. I want to be a force multiplier, not just an individual contributor.</p><h4><strong>How has your understanding of Plotly’s mission or culture evolved over your first 90 days?</strong></h4><p>Initially, I understood Plotly as a data visualization company. Over 90 days, I’ve come to see it as a platform company building the infrastructure that empowers people to build data applications. Everything connects: secrets management enables secure data connections, workflow systems enable reliable builds, AI integration enables Dash apps to be created in seconds instead of days.</p><p>Plotly’s mission is about removing friction so people can focus on building great data applications, not fighting programming language constructs or infrastructure concerns.</p><h4><strong>What’s a proud moment or milestone that captures what these 90 days have meant to you?</strong></h4><p>If I had to pick one milestone that captures it all, it’s this. On my first day, I was running a migration script. Today, I’m merging infrastructure improvements, implementing changes, and automating parts of our build process, removing legacy code, and responding to production incidents. The journey from “new person running a script” to “trusted owner of critical infrastructure” in such a short time is proof that when you join a team that trusts you with real ownership, you can accomplish a great deal.</p><p>These 90 days have been about building: building infrastructure, building trust, and building a foundation for what comes next.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*saVocEoF74LV6faucF7Fxw.png" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=9c2d052956be" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/plotly/people-in-focus-inside-justen-walkers-first-90-days-a-reflection-on-creativity-curiosity-and-9c2d052956be">People in Focus: Inside Justen Walker’s First 90 Days, A Reflection on Creativity, Curiosity, and…</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/plotly">Plotly</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
