Users can create their own data solutions by building recipes. A recipe is a set of simple steps that tell our servers where to get data from, what to do with them and how to visualize the result. A basic example would be getting user's followers from Twitter and displaying the location of their last tweet on a map or taking all blog posts from a Tumblr account and, using a text analysis API, tagging automatically each of them.
