Four BI vendors in two weeks moved the dashboard from a destination to an agent output.

dbt Labs open-sourced the YAML language September 14, Databox relaunched its whole product as agentic analytics with Genie as the primary interface September 9, IBM shipped Cognos Analytics as a Service with BI agents on AWS September 2, and OpenAI's Data agent in ChatGPT Work released September 10 with the ability to build dashboards inside Omni, Oracle BI, Power BI, Sigma, Tableau and ThoughtSpot (Databox). Nobody is competing on the dashboard canvas. They're competing to be the thing that writes into someone else's canvas. The durable asset is the semantic layer and the metric definitions.
