Veezoo

This is big. 🚀 From the day I started Beyond Data, the vision was to really supercharge business teams by empowering them with cutting-edge AI and Analytics. The partnership we've announced today with Veezoo is a significant milestone on that journey. Veezoo is a question-based analytics tool, with no hallucinations, enterprise-grade governance controls, and, well, it actually works. If you assume it's just another ChatGPT wrapper or simply text-to-SQL, think again 😉 Ex-CEO of Tableau Mark T. Nelson recently joined the Veezoo board stating that currently "there is no better offering than Veezoo." You can see it in action here: https://lnkd.in/gWaGyaUs A heartfelt thank you to Till Haug for your collaboration and vision as we put this together, and ✨Shane Gibson for introducing us as two people with a shared vision.

There’s a lot of talk about data maturity and AI lately, with some arguing that so-called "Cognitive Analytics"—AI that helps users get insights from data—is the pinnacle of a Maslow’s hierarchy of data needs. This perspective suggests that you must first fulfill all the other stages (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive analytics) before reaching the top. But let me challenge that for a sec. Yes, tools aren’t everything, and many organizations still struggle to get users to use the dashboards they already have. So, introducing AI might seem unnecessary. However, dismissing the UX benefits that AI offers is a mistake. The blanket argument that "we don’t need another tool" often ignores how the current tool is actually being used (or not used). Without clear reasoning behind this argument, we could also go backwards in time and have similarly resisted progress in UX, like graphical interfaces, by arguing, “Why introduce a GUI if people aren’t using the command line?” Instead of viewing AI as the peak of a maturity pyramid, think of it as existing on a completely different horizontal axis—one that enhances User Experience across all levels. You don't need to have predictive analytics in place to offer a better UX with AI for your reporting data. The goal, whether by complementing or replacing tools with AI-powered ones, is to increase adoption of data beyond the abysmal rates seen in many companies. Increasing data adoption within the business is key to help the entire company recognize the importance of fundamental data work. This isn’t about abandoning the basics or rushing to adopt the latest tech. It’s about understanding the real dependencies between the stages of data maturity. What is really needed in my data journey, so I can drive more adoption? A data warehouse? Sure. Data contracts in place? I doubt it. Often, it’s only by reducing the time and effort spent on routine tasks that we can prioritize more strategic needs and really move up the pyramid. #data #dataanalytics #businessintelligence #selfserviceanalytics #generativeAI

We just released a feature to customize visualizations in Veezoo using natural language. So I decided to take it for a spin. And make some charts, you know... just pop more. #DataVisualization #BusinessIntelligence #ChatGPT #GenerativeAI
