I want to see what Palantir actually produces. Like does Coca-Cola get a monthly report that says "Hey, you guys should bring back Cherry Cola in Montana for an expected 4% increase in sales" or what? What does $1mil/month actually get you?

- jbob2000 11y agoOh my god, what the hell is that thing! For all that money, they couldn't have hired a product management/design team?
- ethanbond 11y agoNote the timestamp on the video... their products look sweet now.
- freyr 11y ago> Ethan Bond > Palantir, Product Designer; Starting June 2016, New York City, NY I realize you're not technically a Palantir employee quite yet, but there's definitely the opportunity for bias here.
- ethanbond 11y agoYes, true. I removed the claim re: the quality of the team, hopefully it's a bit less misleading.
- jnpatel 11y agoDo you have any recent pictures of the products?
- ethanbond 11y agoYou can find some public stuff here: https://dribbble.com/palantir https://dribbble.com/palantir I don't have anything else to point you to unfortunately.
- pinwale 11y agoHere is a live version of a [Palantir product for the Carter Center](http://www.cartercenter.org/syria-conflict-map/ http://www.cartercenter.org/syria-conflict-map/). I'd say it looks quite nice for a digital map.
- sharkweek 11y agoWow this is incredibly fascinating, how were they able to talk publicly about this...?
- rezashirazian 11y agoI can't take anyone who pronounces Iran(ɪˈrɑːn) "Eye-Ran" as a serious person.

- jbob2000 11y agoHuh. Kind of looks like ArcGIS.
- glup 11y agoThat's what I thought. ArcGIS advises you to deploy more Cherry Coke to Montana.
- bane 11y agoDon't ignore the network visualization on the right. My understanding is that it's a slice through an ontology driven knowledgebase. Palantir provides consulting services on the ontology as well as the integration services to map customer data to that ontology. The tool provides a visualization of this knowledgebase.
- sgnelson 11y agoIt looks like exactly the same sort of data you would get from a customized ArcGIS system or one of the BI (with GIS) software packages (such as Alteryx and the like). But why pay $250,000 for software and also hire a good consulting firm when you can pay $18 million a year for the same thing. (I have just realized that I have been grossly underpaid.) And I'm sure all those engineers they hire make excellent geographic analysts.
- massel 11y agoActually maybe they do - they just brought back Cherry and Vanilla coke in Canada. I for one will be contributing to an increase in sales.

- spydum 11y agoFor what's it's worth, this type of analytics and market research is what Nielsen (NLSN) has been doing for several decades.. Indeed they were the first real BigData company. They just don't charge monthly.. You buy access to a set of data (markets, products hierarchies) and often some level of custom reporting and scheduled updates on the data.
- morgante 10y agoPalantir is much closer to Accenture than Nielsen. For the most part, Palantir is helping you analyze data you already have, not providing you with new data.
