“Vibe analysis”: How Faire’s data team uses AI to investigate conversion drops, analyze experiment results, and convert raw data into executive-ready insights
Tim Trueman and Alexa Cerf from Faire’s data team demonstrate how AI tools are revolutionizing data analysis workflows. They show how data teams, product managers, and engineers can use tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and custom agents to investigate business metrics, analyze experiment results, and extract insights from user surveys—all while dramatically reducing the time and technical expertise required.
What you’ll learn:
1. How to use AI to investigate sudden drops in business metrics by searching documentation and codebases
2. Techniques for creating a semantic layer that helps AI understand your business data
3. How to build end-to-end analytics workflows using Cursor and Model Context Protocols (MCPs)
4. Ways to automate experiment analysis and create standardized reports
5. How AI can help design and analyze customer surveys
6. Strategies for creating executive-ready documents from raw data analysis
7. Why every team member should have access to code repositories—not just engineers
