Hey there, data-savvy innovators!


I’m excited to share a quick (but seriously exciting) announcement straight from Alteryx Professional Services.

 

We're launching an AI Use Case Contest!

 

This opportunity is to showcase your brightest ideas, win 40 hours of expert engineering support, and bring your vision to life using the powerful combination of Alteryx + AI.

Why This Matters

 

After a decade of building smart systems that turn data into action, I’ve seen how the right toolset can transform complex challenges into repeatable, scalable solutions. Alteryx is that toolset!

 

Now, add AI into the mix: predictions, generative text, autonomous decision-making, and more. But building great AI isn’t just about training a model. It’s about how you ingest, clean, govern, and operationalize your data—and that’s where Alteryx shines.

 

That’s why we’re inviting you to submit your most impactful AI use case! 💡

A Personal Note


When I first entered the world of data science 15 years ago, I was captivated by the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.  Those early days were all about writing code, wrangling data, and wrestling with models that, while powerful, were still out of reach for most. 

 

When I discovered Alteryx’s no‑code platform I saw it as the perfect match.  Models and algorithms are amazing!!  But they aren’t very useful without a reliable, clean, and governed stream of AI ready data.   

 

Alteryx excels at turning raw data into insight while maintaining governance, compliance, and speed. This contest is your chance to be part of that journey: to prototype, iterate, and shape the next wave of intelligent automation.


Happy innovating! 🚀
