Dashboards won’t disappear, but they’re no longer the centre of gravity in BI. The real shift is in how business users interact with data. Instead of navigating filters, charts, and drill-downs, they’re starting to converse with their data the same way they’d talk to an analyst.

LLMs have essentially turned the warehouse into an always-on insights engine. Ask a question, get the metric, the explanation, the drivers, and even suggestions on what to do next. This removes the historical bottleneck of waiting for dashboard updates or queueing requests with analysts.

What we’re really seeing is BI evolve from static consumption to dynamic discovery. Dashboards will still serve as governed, trusted sources of truth—but day-to-day decision-making will increasingly happen through conversational interfaces that deliver context, not just charts.
