Updates to page

My name is Lindsay and I work for Thoughtspot. I'd like to propose a few changes to the page in compliance with WP:COI, starting with adding the 2018 new CEO appointment as follows:

In August 2018, ThoughtSpot appointed former Nutanix President Sudheesh Nair as its new CEO.[1]

This would go at the end of the paragraph right before "In March 2019, ThoughtSpot" Linnoo614 (talk) 20:12, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

ThoughtSpot History Section

Hi. I work for ThoughtSpot and would like to ask for some additions to the end of the History section, indicated in bold here. This adds some acquisitions, funding, and customers. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance and whether the additions are approved or not. Best regards. Pinging @Timtempleton: who helped me previously.Linnoo614 (talk) 16:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@Linnoo614: I'll take a look. I don't mind helping, but you can ping others using the edit request template {{request edit}}. See Wikipedia:Simple conflict of interest edit request TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:53, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
@Linnoo614: I did most but not all of the requests. The info about the hiring in preparation for an IPO had the wrong year, and I don't like to include personnel info for anyone besides the chairman, CEO or president, unless they are otherwise notable (i.e. they have their own article). You can still do uncontroversial editing such as standardizing the reference date formats. If you also fill in the bare refs, you might be able to eliminate the hidden ref error warning that shows up during page previews. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:14, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Technology and Recognition Sections

@Timtempleton: Thanks for reviewing my prior COI request above. I made all of the date formats in the citation templates consistent as an uncontroversial edit as you requested. I was also hoping you might be willing to review some proposed additions to the Technology and Recognition sections, as indicated in bold below. Linnoo614 (talk) 18:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

@Linnoo614: I condensed and edited the tech info. I think there was too much Snowflake info there. Also, I ignored the recognition items. None seemed important enough to keep the article from getting flagged for being overly promotional. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:40, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Technology Section

ThoughtSpot allows for non-technical individuals to conduct a self-service data analysis search.[1] The company introduced ThoughtSpot Monitor, a tool that monitors information for changing patterns or trends, in 2019 as part of its ThoughtSpot 6 software.[2] ThoughtSpot's software comes with connectors called SpotApps that are each designed to integrate with different cloud services.[3]

ThoughtSpot HQ

The Lead says: "based in Sunnyvale, California"
The infobox says: "Headquarters: San Jose, CA"
The headquarters was recently moved to Mountain View, California%3Cbr%3E

I work at Thoughtspot and would like to request the headquarters be updated to Mountain View, California in both spots. Pinging @Timtempleton: who helped previously. Thank you in advance to any editor that provides assistance. Best regards. Linnoo614 (talk) 15:12, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Linnoo614: This is going to seem silly, but I can't find anything that says you moved, besides your web site listing the new address, and some job postings. Forbes, Bloomberg and CB Insights all have an old address. You should reach out to them to change the address. I'd prefer to not make the change until a verifiable source confirms the relocation. When they change it, or when your next piece of media coverage comes out and mentions Mountain View, let me know. Or someone else might not care about verifiability as much as I do. For future reference, I'm happy to help, but just another reminder that you don't have to depend on just me to make the edits. As I mentioned above, you can make a Wikipedia:Simple conflict of interest edit request here on the talk page, and that will alert other uninvolved editors. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

ThoughtSpot HQ

@Timtempleton: I appreciate your strict adherence to Wikipedia's rules, even while I sit on a zoom from NYC with teammates in Thoughtspot's HQ in Mountain View. You mentioned Bloomberg and CB Insights both still listed Thoughtspot's old HQ location, but I have now gotten both to update/correct our HQ. See CB Insights and Bloomberg. Is that sufficient to correct the HQ location in the infobox and the intro? Thanks again for all of your assistance. Linnoo614 (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
@Linnoo614:  Done And thanks for following the process, pain in the neck or otherwise. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Changes to Technology Section

My name is Russell and I work for Thoughtspot. I'd like to request the changes indicated below with strikeouts for trims and bold for additions.

Extended content

ThoughtSpot allows for non-technical individuals to conduct a self-service data analysis search.[1] The company introduced ThoughtSpot Monitor, a tool that monitors information for changing patterns or trends, in 2019 as part of its ThoughtSpot 6 software.[2] ThoughtSpot's software comes with connectors called SpotApps that are each designed to integrate with different cloud services.[3] Its ThoughtSpot Everywhere self-service analytics tools were introduced in 2021.[4] (Moved in order to be in chronological order)

Originally, ThoughtSpot was focused on selling software licenses[5] and business intelligence software.[6] Over time, it transitioned to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model[5] and to self-service analytics information prompted by a query from a business user.[6] However, its Analyst Studio product released in 2025 was the first time it developed something for data analysts, rather than business users.[6] Analyst Studio feeds data into AI tools using the technology ThoughtSpot acquired from Mode in 2023.[6]

ThoughtSpot's software can analyze data from sources like Snowflake and Databricks, and integrates with the Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services.[7][8] It also offers an analytics software product designed for Google's data warehouse service, BigQuery.[9] It also offers an analytics software product designed for Google's data warehouse service, BigQuery.[9] As of February 2021, ThoughtSpot was working on integrations with Microsoft Azure in a joint development agreement with Microsoft.[10]

 It added the ability to query data from natural language using AI in 2024.[11] In July 2025, the company launched its agentic MCP server, Spotter, an AI agent for BI analytics.[12][13]

Explanation:

  • Reduces the emphasis on individual product names and releases to focus on major pivots in the overall direction
  • Makes the content more up-to-date with a summary of recent AI changes and venturing into analyst users
  • Trims WP:NOPRICE and WP:CRYSTAL violations from discussing "plans" to integrate Microsoft Azure (these plans did come to fruition but ThoughtSpot has many integrations)

Rsd09006 (talk) 16:43, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Couple problems on my end.
  1. You remove mention of certain product names and releases to "focus on major pivots in the overall direction" but then later go on to describe a specific product. Much of the info you propose to remove appears relevant. I understand wanting to describe the overall direction of the company but that's not mutually exclusive with describing relevant products. I don't support removing mentions of specific products its released in the past.
  2. If the plans with Azure did develop, that part of the article shouldn't be removed. It should be updated to indicate their new partnership status.
Would appreciate feedback from another editor before implementing any changes. - Otherwise (Talk?) 20:30, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
Hi @Mustbeotherwise:. I revised the request above to incorporate your feedback. The request now has no deletions/trims, except the redundant mention of BigQuery, which is already in the prior sentence. Let me know if you think that's better? Rsd09006 (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
@Rsd09006: I'm puzzled by this sentence: "As of February 2021, ThoughtSpot was working on integrations with Microsoft Azure in a joint development agreement with Microsoft." That's five years ago, surely "working on" needs an update?
Also, Ref [13] is dated Nov 2024, but the proposed text indicates a product launch in July 2025? Fiske (talk) 11:53, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
@Fiske: Sorry for the belated reply. I just got back from paternity leave. I agree the sentence is out-dated. The software does currently have Azure integration. I don't have any good independent citations to offer with a more up-to-date description though. Also, the draft already mentions integrations with Snowflake and others. My thinking would be to just trim it to avoid becoming a long list of every integration, but what do you think? Rsd09006 (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
@Rsd09006: Would you please redraft this to remove the misdated content. Note that neither Analytics India Magazine nor SolutionsReview are strong/reliable sources. Also, the claim that Analyst Studio is first time is a strong claim that should very directly supported by the independent source. Check that the TechTarget article directly supports "It added ... in 2024 to avoid WP:synthesis.
If you can post revised text that will make it easier for an editor to work on. Fiske (talk) 00:09, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
@Fiske: I was only focused on the specific bold and strikeout changes I was proposing. However, in incorporating your feedback, I went down a rabbit hole and found a lot of other improvements to move things around, get better sources, and make it more chronological and up-to-date. Let me know what you think of the below. Rsd09006 (talk) 16:05, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
