> but customers kept pulling us toward their data analysis problems
I hear this all the time, I still don’t think it’s a good justification to build a BI tool, but I hope this time it is different.
Product looks cool! I’m hopeful that agents do actually unlock business analytics and we can move on from the BI concept
Edit: a rough explanation of why you get pulled towards data problems is that they are intractable symptoms of upstream process issues. Customer sees a capable startup and co-opts them into trying to solve their tarpit problems. Happens all the time!
We hear you on getting pulled into tarpit problems, and on the pattern you're describing leading to them. The core product motivation we're excited about is letting humans and their agents act on data together, but we do think that requires thoughtful tooling to exist before that becomes desirable (more to come here). Our newer customers tend to be a little more technology forward, which helps us focus on the product we're offering them rather than internal politics or process issues.
