Why the Modern Data Stack is Broken and Why Agentic Analytics is the Future

We have been building dashboards for 20 years. Now everyone is adding AI on top of them. But what if the real issue is the stack itself? That is where my conversation with Soham Mazumdar, Co-Founder and CEO, WisdomAI went at Gartner D&A on The Ravit Show!!!!

WisdomAI calls what they are building “Agentic Analytics.” Not a chatbot on top of BI. Not a copilot that still depends on humans to interpret everything. We talked about what is fundamentally broken in today’s analytics world:

- Dashboards answer questions you already thought of

- Executives need answers to questions they did not know to ask

Soham shared how enterprises are moving from static reporting to agents that reason across metrics, detect issues, and explain why something happened. The trust problem came up quickly. Most AI analytics tools look impressive in a demo. Very few hold up under real enterprise scrutiny.

We also discussed a real customer story with Cisco and what changed after deploying WisdomAI. The shift was not just faster answers. It was decision confidence.

Looking ahead, Soham believes analytics teams will not disappear. They will evolve into designers and supervisors of intelligent systems that operate continuously across the business.

For enterprise leaders rethinking the future of BI, this was a forward-looking and very practical discussion.
