AI-Powered BigQuery Reporting for UltraCart Merchants

UltraCart merchants can now build, visualize, and automate BigQuery reports using natural language and Claude Code. The new @ultracart/bq-skill package turns your data warehouse into a reporting engine: ask a question, get a complete report with SQL, charts, PDFs, and executive analysis — then replay it forever with a single command. Connect your own external data sources, set up automated delivery to Slack and email, define alarms for revenue drops, and generate executive report decks. Reports are code — version-controlled, diffable, and schedulable in CI/CD.
