“Is Generative BI failing?"
Context engineering, LLMOps
GenBI was supposed to revolutionize analytics. Instead, most pilots are dead on arrival.
The culprit? An unrealistic promise: “ask me anything, get magic.”
In this talk, we’ll trace the rise and stall of GenBI, unpack why business users lose trust so quickly, and show how the next generation of tools — built on a Semantic Grid — can restore it.
The path forward isn’t hype; it’s human-centered iteration.
