Product teams think they’re modernizing by adding AI to existing analytics. But many are just accelerating the same old problems.

Dashboards still explain what happened instead of guiding what to do next. Insights live outside real workflows, and analytics stacks demand more engineering effort every quarter just to keep up.

In this live session with ThoughtSpot, we challenge the dashboard-first mindset and show how product leaders are rethinking analytics for an AI-native future.

Walk away with:

  • A clear lens on what’s changing
  • Peer-level insight from leaders who’ve made the call
  • A product-first blueprint for embedded intelligence
  • A faster, safer path to shipping AI

Solve problems like:

  • Analytics that slow adoption instead of driving it. Learn how teams are shifting to embedded, agentic experiences that increase engagement and stickiness.
  • Agentic AI decisions that can’t be postponed. Proactive insights and recommended actions are moving fast from experimental to expected on product roadmaps.
  • Hidden roadmap drag from DIY analytics. Maintaining analytics infrastructure pulls teams away from higher-impact work. See how leaders rethink build-vs-buy to accelerate time-to-value.
  • Stacks that won’t scale with what’s next. Many analytics architectures weren’t designed for AI evolution. Get a framework for building foundations that adapt as innovation accelerates.
  • Regulatory risk turning into product risk. Evolving AI regulations can delay launches or force re-architecture. Learn how to design governance and auditability without slowing innovation.
