The Challenge
Where they started.
Nimbus had powerful primitives - datasets, models, dashboards - but the surface area was overwhelming. New users churned before reaching their first insight, and power users built private workarounds.
The Approach
What we did.
- 01
Introduced an AI command palette as the product's new primary interaction.
- 02
Restructured the dashboard around executive overviews, with drill-down on demand.
- 03
Rebuilt the front-end in React + shadcn for a calmer, denser, more typographic surface.
The Result
The outcome.
Activation lifted 47%, time-to-first-insight dropped 63%, and weekly actives more than doubled in the quarter following release.
