Release Notes
Monthly product updates, new features, and improvements shipped in the Ronja platform.
Our biggest release ever
150 changes. 3 weeks. Four major systems shipped: a skills and secrets framework that lets Ronja securely talk to any API or database just by having a conversation, a learning engine that makes Ronja smarter every time you use it, a visual system rebuilt from scratch, and an expanded set of first-class connectors with AI-guided setup.
Skills & Secrets
Infinite connectors. If a system has an API, Ronja can talk to it.
Ronja can now connect to any external system, not by writing code or configuring webhooks, but by having a conversation. This is not limited to our pre-built connectors. Any API, any database, any system with a programmatic interface is now within reach.
Skills are reusable knowledge documents that teach Ronja how to work with a specific tool or API. Secrets store your credentials securely with full OAuth 2.0 support. Your passwords and keys are never exposed to the AI.
Any API
Notion, Salesforce, Jira, Google Drive, your internal REST API. Teach Ronja once through a skill. It remembers forever. Every future conversation benefits automatically.
Any database
Query Postgres, Snowflake, BigQuery, SQL Server, Oracle, ClickHouse, and MySQL directly. No import needed. Ask a question, get results.
How it works: Just ask Ronja to do something, like "pull our Q1 revenue from Snowflake" or "grab the team roster from Notion". It figures out what it needs. If it needs credentials, it asks. If it needs to learn an API, you teach it once through a skill. The entire experience is a conversation.
First-Class Connectors
For data you want to keep in sync continuously, Ronja's connector ecosystem has expanded significantly.
AI-Guided Setup
Setting up a new connector used to mean filling out forms, looking up docs, and hoping you got the config right. Now you just tell Ronja what you want to connect to. An AI agent walks you through the entire process: it discovers available data, configures the connection, and lets you pick exactly which streams to sync.
Credentials are entered in a secure sidebar. The AI never sees your passwords or keys. If something goes wrong, the agent troubleshoots with you in real-time.
SharePoint New
Connect to SharePoint sites, browse document libraries, and select individual files or entire folders to sync. Supports CSV, TSV, Excel (multi-sheet), and Parquet files. Folder selections automatically include new files added later. Delta-based change detection means only modified files are re-synced.
MySQL CDC New
True change data capture via binlog streaming. Every insert, update, and delete is tracked in real-time. Initial snapshots run as parallel chunked queries writing directly to Parquet. Supports SSH tunnels and TLS.
HubSpot New
A new native connector replacing the Airbyte version. OAuth2 with PKCE, 15 CRM streams, 6 association tables, custom object support, and automatic scope introspection so you know exactly which permissions enable which data.
BigQuery Improved
Discovery is 10x faster with instant client-side search. Date-sharded tables (like GA4's events_YYYYMMDD pattern) are now natively supported with incremental per-shard sync.
Learnings
Ronja gets smarter the more you use it.
Every time your team builds a table, runs an analysis, or asks a question, Ronja is quietly learning. A new autonomous pipeline compacts these interactions into structured knowledge, including naming conventions, join patterns, metric definitions, and column usage, and integrates them into a growing knowledge graph organized around three pillars:
Org Context
Who uses what, how teams think about their data
Data Discovery
Where things live, how they connect, what's reliable
Metric Definitions
Agreed-upon formulas, endorsed by your team
When the system detects ambiguity or knowledge gaps, it surfaces questions for your team to answer, with AI-suggested options so it's a quick click, not an open-ended task. Resolved answers flow back into the knowledge graph, making every future interaction more accurate.
Visit the new Intelligence page in Data Studio to see what Ronja has learned, review pending questions, and explore the knowledge graph.
Visual System v2
More beautiful charts, faster. The visualization engine has been rewritten from the ground up.
The new system produces cleaner, more polished charts. Gone are the quirky layouts and visual artifacts of the old renderer. Everything feels snappier.
Faster rendering
Charts load and respond noticeably quicker across all chart types.
Better looking by default
Cleaner axes, smarter labeling, more consistent styling across chart types.
Interactive
Data re-aggregates as you zoom, dual-axis combos, reference lines with fill regions.
First-class chart entities
Charts have their own detail pages, finetune overlays with a copilot sidebar, and one-click add-to-dashboard.
Auto-refresh dashboards
Charts automatically refresh when their source data changes.
Export everything
Chart/table toggle, image download, CSV export, and copy-link from every chart.
DuckDB SQL Engine
Tables can now be built using pure DuckDB SQL instead of Python.
Write SQL with dbt-style {{ ref('table') }} references to input tables, and Ronja handles the rest. DuckDB is the default engine for all new tables.
A cross-table query engine is also available in explorations: reference any table by ID and run ad-hoc queries across your entire data warehouse. AI agents generate DuckDB-native SQL with awareness of PIVOT, window functions, UNNEST, MAP extraction for nested structs, and more.
Architecture View
An interactive graph of your entire data pipeline.
See every table, its columns, row counts, sizes, and dependency relationships at a glance. Toggle between Data Flow and Databases views. Filter and search across your whole landscape. Each database gets a unique color for instant visual grouping. Edit mode lets you reorganize tables between databases via drag-and-drop.
Activity Log
A unified view of everything happening in your workspace.
Every table build, analysis run, query execution, integration sync, and AI code generation, with aggregated stats, timing breakdowns, error messages, schema diffs, and direct links. Analysis edit history is preserved so you can always go back.
Also Shipped
File Uploads & Images in Chat
Upload CSVs, Excel files, and images directly into copilot sessions via drag-and-drop or paste.
Multi-Tab Dashboard Performance
Dashboards now build one tab at a time instead of all at once. Progressive results, no timeouts.
Workspace Admin Mode
One toggle to give all workspace members admin privileges within that workspace.
Download Options
Image and CSV export dropdown on every analysis card. Native tooltips replaced with instant popovers.
New User Onboarding
A choice modal on first sign-in: Quick Start with sandbox data, Connect Your Own Data, or Skip.
