AI That Goes Beyond the Dashboard: Advanced Capabilities for Real-Time, Configurable Analytics
Written by Natalia Nanistova |

Every business intelligence tool is racing to add AI capabilities to its platform — and for good reason. AI is rapidly becoming a critical enabler for organizations that want to turn data into immediate, actionable insights.
But traditional BI has long struggled with user engagement. Will simply dropping a chatbot onto a dashboard change that? Can lightweight LLM integrations truly deliver on the promise of data intelligence?
We believe AI in BI must be more than a surface feature. It needs to be trusted, high-performing, and accessible — built to handle complex models, not just surface-level metrics. Most importantly, it should show up where users already work: inside BI, embedded in apps, and available through APIs that power connected experiences.
While LLMs are powerful, they’re only one part of the equation. Without the right foundation, AI falls short. That’s why GoodData AI is built on a proven semantic layer and in-memory Analytics Lake — and why we’re thinking deeply about how evolving concepts like model context protocols and ontology-driven reasoning can shape a new era of context-aware analytics.
What is GoodData AI?
GoodData AI simplifies the integration of AI into existing workflows, overcoming the obstacles that have traditionally hindered AI adoption. It is designed to handle intricate data models and deliver powerful analytics at scale, unlike other AI-enhanced BI tools that may be limited to basic reports and single dashboards.
