Organizations today face a critical challenge: the need to make fast, intelligent decisions while being inundated with vast amounts of often unreliable data.
With over 75% of business leaders under pressure to demonstrate data’s value, the demand for trusted, actionable insights has never been higher.
Salesforce’s Tableau Next rises to this challenge with a groundbreaking approach to business intelligence. By integrating agentic analytics—an AI-powered innovation—Tableau Next transforms how organizations interact with data, enabling faster insights, automated visualizations, and more impactful decision-making.
The Power of Agentic Analytics
Agentic analytics revolutionizes traditional business intelligence by allowing users to collaborate with AI agents throughout the data-to-action process.
Analysts can automate tedious tasks like data preparation and ETL (extract, transform, load), while business leaders can ask natural language questions and receive instant, reliable answers with actionable recommendations.
This eliminates the need for deep technical expertise, making data-driven decisions more accessible and efficient.
Key Capabilities of Tableau Next
Built on the trusted Salesforce Platform and powered by Data Cloud, Tableau Next delivers enterprise-grade performance, robust security, and seamless data integration. Its intelligent semantic layer, Tableau Semantics, ensures data consistency and accelerates insight discovery. A built-in workflow engine turns insights into immediate actions, drastically reducing time-to-value.
The platform’s native integration with Agentforce equips users and AI agents with pre-built analytical skills, driving faster business outcomes. Key features include:
- Data Pro: An intelligent data prep assistant that automates complex transformations, reducing manual effort.
- Concierge: Delivers instant, natural language answers to data questions—like identifying top sales opportunities—with clear recommendations.
- Inspector: Proactively monitors data for trends, anomalies, and predictive insights, alerting teams to critical changes (e.g., drops in customer satisfaction).
Ensuring Trust and Efficiency
Tableau Semantics acts as a unified layer for business data, ensuring AI-generated insights remain accurate and relevant. Additionally, the Marketplace allows teams to share and reuse analytical components, improving collaboration and efficiency.
A New Era of Data-Driven Decision-Making

By combining AI agents with trusted data and intuitive tools, we’re making analytics accessible to everyone—turning the data-to-action process into an automated, insight-driven cycle that enhances efficiency, reduces risk, and improves outcomes.”
