Why This Project Mattered
The AI Data Explorer (Ellie) project showed what’s possible when creativity, collaboration, and AI come together. What began as a hackathon idea quickly grew into a cross-functional effort uniting designers, engineers, and data scientists around a shared goal — making data exploration intuitive and human.
Beyond the product itself, Ellie boosted team morale and inspired a culture of experimentation. It reminded everyone that innovation can spark from anywhere — and that when teams collaborate openly, even early ideas can evolve into something impactful.
