Garrett Galow from WorkOS built Studio, an internal workspace where anyone can ask natural language questions against Snowflake, Linear, and Notion, and get reusable widgets instead of filing a request.

Single-table training alone boosted multi-table FinQA benchmark from 13.9% to 26.6%, and breaking evals into rubrics identifies which behaviors to fix.
