Service for sharing data insights

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a set of one or more processors of one or more computing devices implementing a data insights sharing service, causes the one or more computing devices to perform operations for allowing a first user of the data insights sharing service to share data insights with other users of the data insights sharing service, the operations comprising:

• storing metadata describing one or more data insights, wherein the one or more data insights were generated by a data analytics service based on analyzing a dataset of the first user, the data analytics service being a separate service from the data insights sharing service and having access to the dataset, but the data insights sharing service not having access to the dataset;
• receiving a request from a second user of the data insights sharing service to access the one or more data insights;
• responsive to receiving the request from the second user to access the one or more data insights, generating the one or more data insights based on the metadata describing the one or more data insights without the data insights sharing service accessing the dataset that was analyzed by the data analytics service to generate the one or more data insights;
• and
• providing the one or more data insights to the second user via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the data insights sharing service.

An apparatus to implement a data insights sharing service that allows a first user of the data insights sharing service to share data insights with other users of the data insights sharing service, the apparatus comprising:

• a set of one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by the set of one or more processors, causes the apparatus to:
• store metadata describing one or more data insights, wherein the one or more data insights were generated by a data analytics service based on analyzing a dataset of the first user, the data analytics service being a separate service from the data insights sharing service and having access to the dataset, but the data insights sharing service not having access to the dataset,
• receive a request from a second user of the data insights sharing service to access the one or more data insights,
• responsive to receiving the request from the second user to access the one or more data insights, generate the one or more data insights based on the metadata describing the one or more data insights without the data insights sharing service accessing the dataset that was analyzed by the data analytics service to generate the one or more data insights, and
• provide the one or more data insights to the second user via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the data insights sharing service.
