AI focused new BI products are a wash, your focus should be a new BI product with maybe an AI integration (Not the other way around), or an AI integration to an existing BI product. The BI tool Kanaries / PyGWalker is a good example of where python based BI tooling should be going, replacing big corp BI tools to get CDO/CIO's to go the direction of abandoning Tableau/PBI for lower infra and platfrom cost, open source tooling & integration.

I am not saying its a bad idea, but your net is wide, very wide, you are trying to conquer two separate area. Both areas need innovation in the data space, but I think the AI rush is dieing down. Claude and GPT offer good support for PowerBI and Tableau, but there are no extension integrations. This is where BI AI should be, AI's integrated into Tableau workbooks editing the core XML of the workbooks, offering translation tooling to convert Prep to Alteryx, Tableau to PBI...etc.

It's also hard sell if your core platform doesn't cover SSO, Encryption, DB integrations, Self Deployment, RBAC's, PenTest, Corps looks for these things immediately, and BI tools are purely a Corp thing not a Consumer thing.

That said its a cool idea and implementation.
