Knowing whether you can trust it is a different challenge. Vibe dashboarding\u2014creating and refining dashboards through natural language &#8211; puts analytics within reach of more people, but the results still depend on the data, definitions and permissions behind them.<\/p>\n<p>Martin Mahler sets out five foundations for making this work at scale: reliable data; business context that agents can find and use; flexible ways to build and consume analytics; governance, security and distribution; and ongoing validation and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The session looks at how these foundations support people and AI agents, from exploring a question to embedding analytics into human and agentic workflows. It also considers who owns definitions, how access is managed and how errors are caught. Attendees will leave with a way to assess their readiness, identify gaps and decide what to tackle first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know what to put in place before expanding AI-powered self-service analytics across the business.<\/li>\n<li>Understand how shared definitions and clear analytical guidance help AI choose the right data and use it correctly.<\/li>\n<li>See where vibe dashboarding fits, and how people and AI agents can use analytics within their workflows while respecting permissions.<\/li>\n<li>Learn why definitions, instructions and outputs need regular checks\u2014and who should own that work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2032","seminar","type-seminar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"start_time":"2026-10-13 15:00:00","end_time":"2026-10-13 15:30:00","theatre":631,"speakers":[2089],"businesses":[1625]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.6 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Foundations for Self-Service Analytics with AI at Scale - Data Decoded MCR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/datadecoded.com\/mcr\/seminars\/5-foundations-for-self-service-analytics-with-ai-at-scale\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 Foundations for Self-Service Analytics with AI at Scale\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"AI makes it easier to build a dashboard.
