We are proud to welcome Priscila back as a Qlik Educator Ambassador for 2026.
At Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, she teaches MBA and postgraduate students across some of the most vital disciplines in modern business: data-driven culture, data governance, AI for business, and market intelligence. Her students are not fresh graduates finding their footing. They are analysts, managers, and executives who arrive carrying real, unresolved problems from real organizations and Priscila has built her classroom to be the place where those problems finally meet their match.
"The classes become very dynamic," she says, "because we can discuss real problems brought by the students themselves."
That energy is not a happy accident. It is the result of years spent equally inside lecture halls and inside the organizations her students go home to every evening, someone who has lived both worlds deeply enough to bridge them.
A Curriculum Built to Last
Priscila has spent recent years building something more purposeful than a course catalog. Three ideas now sit at the heart of everything she teaches: data quality, data governance, and data and AI fluency. Not as boxes to check, but as a framework her students carry into every analysis, every dashboard, and every decision they will ever make.
Her reasoning is both simple and powerful. Analytics and artificial intelligence only generate real value when the data underneath them is trustworthy and well governed. Without that foundation, even the most brilliant insight collapses. So in her classroom, Qlik is not the finish line, it is the environment where students learn to do something far more valuable than building visualizations. They learn to question them. Sessions frequently use datasets with intentional quality problems, challenging students to diagnose, clean, model, and interpret. They go further still learning to understand predictions, evaluate risks, and identify the optimizations necessary to use AI responsibly and effectively. It is demanding work. It is also the kind of work that transforms a good analyst into an indispensable one.
"What usually makes the difference in interviews is that they can demonstrate not just tool knowledge, but analytical maturity. They can explain how to organize data, structure analyses, and transform information into decisions."
That is the standard Priscila holds her classroom to and the standard the market is increasingly hungry for. Beyond class hours, she actively encourages her students to pursue the Qlik Academic Program's structured learning paths and certifications, giving them a way to build deeper, independently verified fluency that follows them into every organization they join.
Where She Is Taking It in 2026
Priscila's vision for 2026 is as clear as it is ambitious. She wants every student, regardless of course, to leave with a transferable framework for working responsibly and confidently in data and AI-driven environments. Data governance remains at the core because analytics initiatives don't fail for lack of technology. They fail for lack of structure, ownership, and clarity. She is building those foundations directly into her curriculum.
And generative AI? No longer a future conversation.
"The market no longer values only those who can build dashboards. There is growing demand for professionals who understand data quality, modeling, governance, and business context."
Her courses are being designed to produce exactly the professionals the market is looking for but struggling to find.
The Story That Says It All
One story, more than any other, captures what Priscila is truly building.
A student arrived from a completely unrelated background, drawn to data but without a clear path forward. During a Qlik project, he dug into a real dataset from his own company and uncovered critical inconsistencies in a commission process, the kind of deep, invisible problem that organizations live with for years because no one has ever had the tools or the courage to surface it. He surfaced it. Shortly after, he was invited into a more analytical role within the organization.
He told Priscila that what changed wasn't learning a tool. It was learning to structure problems and think with data.
"And for me," she says, "that is exactly what we are trying to build in the classroom."
Not just skilled analysts. Confident, curious thinkers who make organizations better.
A Bridge That Flows Both Ways
Priscila recently brought a Data Literacy program to a healthcare company in Minas Gerais and discovered that one of her own graduate students was already working there. The university and the market, finding each other without anyone planning for it. A reminder that the seeds planted in the classroom have a way of growing in the most unexpected places.
That is the kind of connection the Ambassador Program makes possible at its best. "Everything I have lived and built with Qlik," she says, "makes me continue to believe it is the best tool for the purpose I promote." Her students enter organizations already fluent, already confident, already equipped to contribute from day one. And through the program's global network of educators, Priscila keeps pushing her own boundaries, drawing inspiration from peers across countries and institutions who share her belief that education can and should change how people work.
Every Semester, a New Chapter
Last year, Priscila published her book on Data and AI Fluency — Estratégias e Práticas para trabalhar e viver em um mundo dirigido por dados — a field guide born not from theory, but from years of classrooms, boardrooms, and every honest conversation in between. It now anchors her teaching, returning to the room each semester as a living document that her students immediately recognize as their own professional reality, finally given language and meaning.
The loop is rare and powerful. Teach from experience. Reflect deeply enough to write it down. Then teach again from what the writing revealed. Each cycle sharper. Each cohort more prepared. Each student a little more ready to go out and change something.
That is what an Educator Ambassador looks like.
Congratulations, Priscila. We are proud to have you back and we cannot wait to see what you write next.

Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight
Business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day, meaning by the time you notice an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
Enter, Discovery Agent:
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen. Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:
- Spikes and sudden drops
- Meaningful trend shifts
- Record highs or lows
- Changes in baseline behavior
- Forecast divergence
- Potential data quality issues
Read all about it in our innovation blog: Introducing Discovery Agent.
Ready to get started? Discovery Agent is now available in Qlik Cloud Analytics, bringing proactive, AI-driven monitoring directly into your analytics workflows.

Organizations today rely heavily on dashboards. But dashboards only work when someone goes looking.
In reality, business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day. In many cases by the time someone notices an issue, the window to act may already be closing.
Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see.
But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for?
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Discovery Agent.
Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight
Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen.
Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most.
It automatically detects signals such as:
- Spikes and sudden drops
- Meaningful trend shifts
- Record highs or lows
- Changes in baseline behavior
- Forecast divergence
- Potential data quality issues
Rather than flooding users with alerts, Discovery Agent evaluates statistical significance and prioritizes only the most meaningful insights. And with direct linking to Qlik Answers, you can use AI to explore insights further.
The result: teams see what matters first and can respond faster.
A new way to stay on top of your business
Discovery Agent transforms how organizations monitor performance.
Discovery Agent pushes prioritized insights directly to users through an intelligent feed and digest.
Each detected change is summarized in clear, readable language so users can quickly understand:
- What changed
- Where it happened
- Why it matters
This dramatically reduces the time analysts spend manually checking metrics and helps organizations stay ahead of emerging issues and opportunities.
See Discovery Agent in action
You can explore how Discovery Agent works through this interactive walkthrough.
The demo shows how Discovery Agent automatically detects anomalies, surfaces the most relevant insights, and enables users to immediately explore further inside Qlik apps.
Built on the power of the Qlik Analytics Engine
Discovery Agent is uniquely powerful because it is built directly on the Qlik Analytics Engine, the technology at the heart of Qlik that powers our analytics experience.
The engine allows Discovery Agent to analyze metrics and spot anomalies across wide combinations of dimension values, for entire data models, at high speed and scale, and at a fraction of the cost of SQL-based approaches. The engine evaluates relationships across the full dataset and supports rapid analytical calculations at scale, enabling powerful AI-driven discovery on complex business data.
With the Qlik analytics engine, Discovery Agent can:
- Analyze complex dimensional combinations quickly
- Detect patterns traditional analytics miss
- Scale efficiently across large data models
- Deliver insights without impacting app performance
This approach makes autonomous monitoring possible even for large enterprise environments.
From anomaly detection to agentic intelligence
Discovery Agent is an important part of Qlik’s agentic experience.
Within Qlik’s evolving agentic AI architecture, specialized agents collaborate to transform data into action. Discovery Agent plays a key role by monitoring data and surfacing insights that other agents can reason and act on.
Over time, we plan to further integrate Discovery Agent into our agentic system so you can:
- Interact with Discovery Agent through Qlik Answers
- Use insights to trigger automation workflows
- Deliver insights through email and third-party integrations
- Participate in broader multi-agent analytics processes
This moves organizations beyond traditional analytics toward a proactive, intelligent agentic environment where AI helps monitor and interpret data continuously.

Discoveries
This extension can help uncovering otherwise hard to find usability issues and direct user sentiment by giving users an immediate, in-app mechanism to rate apps and report bugs. Administrators discover exactly which app, sheet, browser, and environment a user was in when an issue occurred or feedback was submitted, removing the guesswork from application support.
Impact
HelpButton.qs significantly reduces support friction and eliminates the time-consuming back-and-forth usually required to troubleshoot vague user issues. By supplying contextual tooltips right alongside complex visualizations, it accelerates user onboarding and saves hours of manual documentation routing.
Audience
The primary audience spans from everyday Qlik Sense Users (who benefit from contextual help on their sheets) to System Administrators / Developers (who monitor the feedback payloads). The button is displayed prominently in the native Qlik Sense app toolbar and tooltips are rendered on specific charts, making it an ever-present, mission-critical asset accessed continuously by anyone using the deployed apps.
Data and advanced analytics
HelpButton.qs automatically captures dynamic session metadata (User ID, App ID, Sheet ID, Qlik Version) securely through the native Qlik API directly within the extension. It then packages and transports these insights via flexible authenticated webhook payloads (POST requests) seamlessly to external workflow platforms or just plain text files on a server.
