## What Is Demo Wire?

An AI-powered demo builder for ThoughtSpot that automatically creates complete demo environments:
- Snowflake schemas and realistic data
- ThoughtSpot connections, models, and liveboards
- Conversational chat interface for demo creation

**Goal**: Create the "perfect demo" that helps sell Thoughtspot's data analytics, bi and ai and software effectively.

## Development Phases

### Phase 1: Button-Driven App ✅ COMPLETE
- Original Gradio UI with button-based workflow
- Research → DDL → Population → Deploy → Model → Liveboard
- Linear progression through stages

### Phase 2: Chat Interface ✅ COMPLETE
- Conversational AI interface (`launch_chat.py`, `chat_interface.py`)
- Natural language demo creation
- Works end-to-end through chat

### Phase 3: Making It Better 🔄 IN PROGRESS
- **LegitData integration** - Realistic data generation (integrated)
- **Outliers** - Strategic data points for compelling demos (needs work)
- **snake_case naming** - Better ThoughtSpot object names ✅ DONE
- **MCP + TML hybrid** - Create with MCP, polish with TML ✅ DONE (Jan 18, 2026)

## Current Capabilities

**Working:**
- End-to-end demo creation via chat interface
- Liveboard creation: MCP creates visualizations + TML post-processing for Groups, KPIs, colors
- LegitData for realistic data generation
- Supabase settings persistence
- ThoughtSpot authentication and deployment

**Needs Work:**
- Outliers need better integration into liveboard creation
- Data adjuster has column matching issues
- Tags not assigning to objects

---

## Key Technical Decisions

**Liveboard Creation**: MCP creation + TML post-processing
- MCP (via `agent.thoughtspot.app`) generates AI-driven visualizations
- TML post-processing adds Groups, KPI sparklines, brand colors, layout refinement

**Data Generation**: LegitData
- Uses AI + web search for realistic data
- Replaces faker-based scripts

## Known Concerns

- **Outliers**: Was strong in old app, not working well now. Need to revisit.
- **Latest changes**: Some recent changes may have broken things. Need to verify.
