What we’re about
PyMC Labs: The Bayesian Consultancy
PyMC is a probabilistic programming library for Python that allows users to fit Bayesian models using a variety of numerical methods, most notably Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI). Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems. Along with core model specification and fitting functionality, PyMC integrates with ArviZ for exploratory analysis of the results.
In this Meetup we will discuss topics related to PyMC, statistics, Python, Bayesian Analysis, to name a few.
We also will discuss use cases of PyMC in the business world.

See all- [Online] Democratizing Bayesian Modeling with Insight Agents: A Case StudyLink visible for attendees
🎙️ Speaker: Andy Heusser, Luca Fiaschi | ⏰ Time: 4 PM UTC / 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 6 PM Berlin
Insight Agents are purpose‑built AI coworkers that transform demanding analytical workflows into push‑button tasks. Built on a modular blend of retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), tool calling, and sandboxed code execution, each agent automates the full statistical pipeline—from data exploration and validation to model fitting and interpretation—without requiring deep technical expertise.
The session showcases our Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) Insight Agent, which compresses weeks of Bayesian MMM work into minutes by delegating tasks to specialized sub‑agents. You’ll see how this architecture delivers secure, explainable, and scalable results that let marketers focus on strategy instead of code.
MMM is only the first stop. We plan to extend the same framework to prototype Insight Agents for customer life-time value, causal impact analysis and more. We’ll dig into the design principles, share implementation lessons, and outline the roadmap from today’s collaborative “copilots” to tomorrow’s autonomous digital coworkers that proactively surface insights and drive better business outcomes.
