Story

CIO reports the shift from static dashboards, which leave 40%+ of organizations dissatisfied, to agentic BI where agents find data, build queries, surface anomalies, and generate reports through conversation. Databricks made Genie One generally available alongside Tableau Pulse, ThoughtSpot, Power BI Copilot, and Looker with Gemini. When "ask a question, get an answer and a formatted report" replaces the manual workflow, the Looker/Tableau moat thins. Same pattern as the CRM story up top: the human-operated tool is the thing getting automated away.
