BI-as-code and the New Era of Genbi

Jon Walls, Product Evangelist, Rill Data

GenBI will transform analytics by enabling instant dashboard creation through natural language while maintaining version control and automation benefits. Learn how the declarative BI stack makes this possible, bridging the gap between manual creation and AI-powered generation.

Talk overview

"GenBI" will be a game changer, allowing analysts to create complex dashboards with simple prompts. From manual dashboard creation --> instant generation through natural language while maintaining the benefits of version control and automation.But what makes this possible? The key lies in the declarative BI stack where dashboards and metrics are defined as code rather than hidden behind graphical user interfaces. The declarative approach gives AI models the context they can understand and work with: structured definitions of business metrics, relationships between facts and dimensions, and visualizations. In summary, combining AI models with BI tools allows business users to query data, generate reports, and derive insights using conversational language, making data analytics more accessible. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how BI-as-code enables GenBI workflows. Rill Developer uses GenAI to create dashboards or metrics based on your data sources or models. It also stores all your sources, models (SQL queries), and dashboards in YAML and has a live editor for visually changing them. You can simply right-click on your model to use AI with the comfort of your BI tools.
