About us
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.

Ask Your MMM Anything: How Agentic AI Puts Stakeholders in the Driver's Seat
๐๏ธ Speakers: Thomas Wiecki, PhD, Luca Fiaschi, PhD, and Andy Heusser, PhD | โฐ Time: 15:00 UTC / 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET / 5:00 PM Berlin
You've built a rigorous marketing mix model. And yet, when your marketing director needs to know what happens if she shifts 15% of TV budget to digital before Thursday's planning meeting, she files a ticket and waits. The bottleneck isn't model quality. It's model access.
In this session, we explore how agentic AI creates a new layer between predictive models and the people who need them most. We'll introduce the concept of agentic dashboards: conversational interfaces that let marketing directors, brand managers, and analytics leaders explore scenarios in plain language, backed by the same statistical rigor their data science teams built into the models.
You'll see a live demo: a marketing mix model queried in real time through natural conversation, with budget reallocation scenarios, channel performance comparisons, and ROI projections generated on the fly with full uncertainty quantification. No code. No tickets. No waiting.
What will be covered:
โ The agentic dashboard pattern: Why we believe this is the missing layer between predictive models and business decisions, with MMM as our first case study.
โ A live MMM demo: Budget reallocation, channel mix, and ROI scenarios run in real time.
โ A framework for your org: How to evaluate whether your analytics investments are ready for an agentic layer.
๐ Outline of Talk / Agenda:
- 5 min: Introduction to PyMC Labs and speakers
- 40 min: Panel discussion
- 15 min: Q&A
