Tableau Next represents a significant shift in business intelligence by integrating AI technology to automate tedious data analysis tasks, allowing users to focus on strategic objectives. Announced during the Tableau Conference 2025, this innovative platform, built on Salesforce, aims to simplify data connection through an open data layer. It facilitates access to external data sources securely while reducing preparation time through AI assistance. Additionally, Tableau Next features a new automation action layer leveraging Salesforce Flow, positioning itself as a comprehensive solution for end-to-end analytics.
Tableau Next positions itself as the first open, API-first BI platform with a workflow engine that covers the entire analytics journey.
The basis of Tableau Next is the open data layer that makes connecting and unifying data easier than before.
Traditional BI is labor-intensive and spread across separate systems; agentic analytics should consolidate this.
The most obvious use case for AI agents is for them to take over time-consuming repetitive tasks first.
