AI-native data analysis on real datasets
Live data analyst practice
Live data analyst practice puts you in the driver seat of a real analysis. You direct a Claude Code agent against a live BigQuery dataset to find the cause behind a metric, prove it with numbers, and write a reproducible report. Anyone can run a query. The skill that moves a career is knowing which metric to chase, which segment reveals the story, and which guardrail catches a fix that backfires.

FAQ
Questions about live data analyst
Do I need to know SQL first?
No. You direct the analysis in plain language and the agent runs the queries. The practice trains the judgment behind the questions, not query syntax.
Is the data real?
Yes. Each session runs against a live BigQuery dataset, so the schema, the row counts, and the funnel drops are real, not a fixed script.
