An interesting read from Data Voyagers

I just read this article by @igoralcantara about OpenAI's first publicly released reports on model misalignment.
It is nothing new for models to make mistakes, but it was interesting to learn that, in some cases, they found alternative ways to perform a task when the intended path was blocked.

It offers an interesting perspective on the challenges we may face as AI evolves from a simple answer generator into a technology capable of using tools and taking action.

It is definitely worth a read.

Hi everyone!

I’m back again to recommend a video by @marksouzacostafrom Data Voyagers about the Visual Task Chain Viewer in Qlik Cloud.

For anyone managing multiple chained reloads, this looks like a huge time-saver when it comes to diagnosing failures within those chains. It turned out to be the perfect solution for a project I’m currently working on that requires this type of management.

Check out the full step-by-step video from Data Voyagers here: https://www.datavoyagers.com

Has anyone else been using this tool? 🙂

New Data Voyagers video I found interesting

In just a few minutes, @igoralcantara tells the story of how Guido van Rossum created Python, starting with his frustration with the limitations of another programming language and a project he started during the Christmas break of 1989.

What I liked most is that the video goes beyond the technology itself and shows how something that started as a small personal project eventually became one of the most widely used programming languages in the world.

A really interesting story, especially if you work with data, AI, or Python. Sharing it here as a recommendation.

I found this video by @igoralcantara  about MCP and Qlik Predict really interesting and wanted to share it here.

It shows how MCP can connect different data sources to Qlik Predict and use them both for predictions and as outputs after deployment.

I found the practical example of how MCP, LLMs, and Qlik Predict can work together really helpful.

Sharing it here if you're interested in the topic!

Good day Qlik Community,

Allow me to go really off-topic here, but I am glad to announce that today I am launching a new book:

The English version:
The Handprint and the Algorithm
From the Cave Wall to the Machine Mind

The Portuguese version:
A Marca da Mão e o Algoritmo
Das pinturas nas cavernas às máquinas que pensam

It is a book about AI, but not exactly technical. It discusses the philosophy and impact of AI, from a historical and sociological aspect, showing in between the history of human invention, where we came from and where we are going to.

We think this discussions are new, but we always had them. Since Socrates claiming writing will destroy human memory to us, saying AI will kill our ability to create.

More information about the book can be found on Data Voyagers or on my website:

The Cave Wall and the Machine Mind

I came across this video by @marksouzacosta about using the Qlik MCP Server and Agentic Skills to work with Qlik Automations.

He walks through a practical example of creating an automation to reload tables in a Shared Space, testing it, and then using Cloud Code to edit and test the automation again.

I thought it was a really nice example of how these new capabilities can be used in practice, especially for making the development and maintenance of Qlik Automations easier.

Hi,

I am interested in expanding my Qlik partnership to Europe. I currently have an established Qlik partnership in North America and would like to explore the possibility of extending our reach into the European market, as some prospective customers in the region have expressed interest in our services.

Could you please let me know if this is possible and what the requirements or next steps would be to expand our partnership into Europe?

Thank you, and I look forward to your guidance.

Charmaine

Olá,

Estou tentando fazer conexão com qlik via api porém o token esta sempre me retornando vazio. Alguém ja passou por situação assim? esta é a documentação enviado pelo suporte do erp: https://api.integra.m8sistemas.com.br/docs/index.html#tag/Clientes/operation/ErpM8ConfiguracoesClienteListGet

Good Day All,

I am preparing for the Qlik Sense Data Architect Certification,

I just wanted to ask does anyone know of somewhere I can get some practice questions in order to better prepare for the test itself?

Mikael is a familiar face in the Qlik Community for those who are on it often, regularly contributing through insightful questions and helpful responses to other members. He is based in Halle, near Brussels, Belgium, and he has been a part of the community for over ten years now.

As a Business Intelligence Coordinator at AZ Sint-Maria Halle, a local hospital, Mikael’s work combines data and real-world decision making. His role centers around turning operational, clinical, and financial data into meaningful insights, on dashboards in Qlik, so that his colleagues can better understand activity, performance, and processes across the hospital. He enjoys “digital transformation projects, process improvement, and finding practical ways to make complex data easier for non-technical audiences.”

Mikael’s journey with Qlik began during his time at Agilos, a Belgian company that specialized in business intelligence and data analytics. He expressed how “that experience gave me a strong foundation in Qlik and helped shape the way I look at data: not just as reports or numbers, but as practical tools that support better decisions.”

He values the Qlik Community because of the quality of learning that it offers. It is a place to find innovative ideas, learn from real problems that others are solving (sometimes problems he did not even know he had yet), and discover approaches he may not have considered on his own. Staying connected also helps him keep up with the latest Qlik news, product updates, and tips from people using Qlik in different environments. Mikael does not only stay up to date on the platform, but he contributes to discussions and offers his insights.

Outside of work, Mikael enjoys spending time with his family, walking his dog, and playing padel. All these things help him “disconnect, stay active, and recharge.”

Mikael, thank you for your continued contribution and engagement in the Qlik Community. Please join us in celebrating Mikael as our July 2026 Featured Member and leave a comment below!

@Jamie_Gregory @mikaelsc 

Please join us in giving Saugata Saha a warm Community welcome as he begins his leadership of Qlik.

In his first LinkedIn post as CEO, Saugata reflects on what attracted him to Qlik: decades of trusted technology, one of the industry’s most vibrant ecosystems, and the opportunity to help organizations create real value from AI.

Welcome, Saugata! 

Good day, Qlik Community,

Totally off-topic, I just published a new article on Data Voyagers. It is about a recommendation/taste statistical engine I built that flips the logic of most recommendation systems. The People who like X, usually like Y is centered in the title (show, movie, book, game) and usually own by the same platform who is recommending you something.

Instead, I tried to build something that resembles the real world. If I need a new show to watch, I do not call Netflix 0800 asking. I text my trusted friends. Not always the same friend, it depends what I want. If I want a game recommendation, @marksouzacosta is the one I ask. If it is a show, I would rather trust @priscilarubim.

Anyway, long story short, that was the birth of Cosign (https://cosign.page), which I explain in details at my latest article, below:

Circle of Trust

Have recently started looking for new roles, but it seems everything is Power-BI or Tableau. 

Are there any sites relating to Qlik specific roles?

It might be that sites like Reed, Hack-A-Job, Cord , Indeed , LinkedIn etc aren't able to highlight them - but it seems for every 100-500 Power-BI Jobs, I find a Qlik one.

If anyone has any recommendations I'm very much open - currently on month 4 and thinking of retraining to be a plumber or something.
