In this episode of The AI Advantage, host Solomon Williams sits down with Pete Hunt, CEO of Dagster Labs, to explore how AI is transforming the way organizations use data. For years, data teams have struggled with a familiar challenge: valuable insights trapped behind technical bottlenecks. Pete believes AI is changing that equation. Through tools like Dagster and Compass, organizations are beginning to move from static dashboards and delayed reporting toward collaborative, AI-powered decision-making. Drawing on his experience as both an engineer and entrepreneur, Pete shares lessons from building industry-defining technologies and explains how AI agents are helping businesses accelerate forecasting, improve sales performance, and unlock greater value from their data investments. The conversation explores the future of data orchestration, the power of open-source innovation, and why the most successful AI tools won't replace teams - they'll help teams work together more effectively. Whether you're a data leader, executive, engineer, or founder, this episode offers practical insights into the next evolution of analytics and AI-driven business operations.
