> Observable opened up a new realm of possibilities for what we could do and offer. We created dynamic, interactive experiences that let users visualize and use climate change data in ways that we couldn’t easily support before.

Senior Research Associate at Climate Central

> AI is critical during all aspects of the discovery process from designing the right graph to tweaking the graph that you need, to getting the right insights for what the user needs.

Gabriel COCH

Founder, Agropatterns

> It's been such an eye opening and exciting process because we're often quite used to spreadsheeting for internal purposes and manually visualizing data. But canvases really help us optimize our analysis and visualization process and saves us time.
