September 25th | Q3 2025 | Wework Boston, MA
The Boston User Group kicked off Q3 with presentations from Byron of Capitalized Analytics and Zhain of DraftKings.
Byron overviewed the capabilities of GenAI tools within your Alteryx workflow. These tools are designed for seamless data cleaning, generation, and automation. Simply integrate LLMs such as OpenAI's GPT or Google's Gemini in any workflow and gain faster insights for smarter analytics.
- LLM Override: Acts as the central connection point to your chosen LLM (large language model). Hook up connections to OpenAI (GPT) or Google (Gemini).
- Precision Match: Got "Senior Mgr." spelled six ways? Or car brands like "Audie" vs. "Audi"? This tool intelligently standardizes messy inconsistent text values.
- Prompt Tool: Summarize reviews, support tickets, or survey responses. This tool applies LLMs directly to your datasets. Write flexible prompts and connect to your preferred LLM.
- Schema Fit: Eliminate manual field mapping or customer coding. This tool automatically aligns a source dataset with the structure of a target dataset.
- Synthetic Data Input: Generate realistic, structured datasets using LLMs. Create datasets on demand by describing what you need.
Zahin traced his 7 year journey using Alteryx which all began from a tip at a holiday party. Since, he has integrated Alteryx within roles at companies such as T-Mobile, Lime, and DraftKings. In each role, Zahin demonstrated how Alteryx empowers non-tech practitioners to unlock analytic insights. Zahin overviewed the shift toward hires who collaborate with data engineers, shared interview tips, and shed light on analytics within Tax.
Here are some use cases Zahin has come across:
- Sales/Use Tax Reporting: Automation lead to slashing outsourcer fees and audit visibility issues.
- Depreciation Schedules: Scaled asset rule calculations beyond Excel.
- Tax ID Validation: Batched process to automate manual checks.
- OCR Invoice Reviews: Extracted fields from thousands of PDFs for accurate refund claims.
Thank you to all that joined and look forward to seeing you at the next one,
Boston UG
