“Where is Qlik headed with AI?”

[Michael_Tarallo]

So when people ask, “Where is Qlik headed with AI?” I think there’s a better question:

Where are YOU headed with AI?

• Are you still focused on dashboards and reporting?
• Exploring GenAI?
• Or already working with agents, MCP, conversational analytics, and AI-assisted data engineering?

Frankly, if you don’t comment, I’m going to assume one of two things: you don’t know where you’re headed yet… or you have no clue what I’m talking about.

I’ve been in analytics and data for 28 years. 15 of them at Qlik. I’ve seen enough technology shifts to know what Qlik can and cannot do.

Qlik has the pieces to meet you where you are and help you move forward.

So tell me: Where are you with AI today, and where do you want to be in the next 2–3 years? (let's see if anyone has the courage to actually answer)

We're somewhere between traditional analytics and AI-native workflows. At the same time, we're exploring GenAI to simplify access to information and accelerate analysis. My goal over the next few years is to combine conversational interfaces and AI agents, so users can spend less time searching and more time deciding.
