ANALYTICS
Velocity6.3

Self-service BI and data analytics platform

www.holistics.io ↗

Holistics turns the BI dashboard into a conversational AI surface, on customer-owned models.

◆Current state
Holistics is well into a BI-meets-AI productization phase, layering conversational analytics on top of its existing modeling and dashboard core. Recent releases mix consumer-grade dashboard polish (auto-run filters, K/M/B number formatting, percentile calculations) with deeper AI plumbing: bring-your-own Claude and Gemini keys, per-user AI access controls, and now an Ask AI that asks clarifying questions back. The GitHub App integration also signals enterprise-readiness work alongside the AI push.
◆Where it's heading
The product is being repositioned from a self-service BI tool to an AI-mediated analytics workspace where natural-language exploration is the headline interaction. Crucially, the team is pushing AI as an infrastructure layer customers can own — BYO LLM keys, granular access policies — rather than locking customers into a vendor-managed model. The dashboard improvements look incremental, but read as ground prep for AI agents to consume and manipulate dashboards more reliably.
◆Prediction
Expect the next quarter to bring agentic dashboard editing — Ask AI not just answering but proposing dashboards and saving them — plus expanded BYO LLM coverage (likely Azure OpenAI or open-weights via OpenRouter) to widen procurement options for enterprise buyers.

    Ask AI now asks clarifying questions back

    ⚡ SPARK

    Ask AI shifts from one-shot answers to multi-turn dialogue, requesting clarifications before generating output. This is the clearest sign yet that Holistics views conversational analytics — not dashboards — as the primary interaction.

    ⚡ Dashboard auto-run on changes (old: Filter auto-apply)

    Dashboards now re-run automatically on every filter or control change, removing the explicit Apply button. A small UX gain on its own, but it also makes dashboards more responsive to AI-driven mutations — relevant given the Ask AI direction.

    GitHub connects at the org level via OAuth app

    The GitHub App replaces per-user deploy keys and PATs with a single org-level OAuth install. An enterprise-readiness move that reduces credential sprawl and pairs naturally with the AI access-control work for sales motions into larger accounts.

    🔢 Auto-abbreviate numbers (K/M/B)

    Numeric fields now auto-pick K, M, or B units based on magnitude, eliminating awkward labels like 0.00M. Cosmetic but visible — the kind of polish that matters when AI-generated charts need to render cleanly without manual cleanup.

    🧮 Calculation Builder: Percentile

    Percentile is added to the Calculation Builder, filling a gap in statistical aggregations. Fits the pattern of strengthening the core analytical surface in parallel with the AI work — Ask AI is only as good as the primitives it can call.
