VerlumoAIMicrosoft's AI Copilot for reports, dashboards, and data answers.
View detailsTableau is one of the most popular data visualisation platforms in the world, and Tableau AI adds a layer of intelligence on top of it. Instead of staring at a dashboard and guessing what matters, you can ask Tableau AI a question in plain language, such as why sales dipped last month, and get an answer drawn from your data. It can also suggest charts, explain a trend, and draft a summary of what a dashboard is showing.
Key Features
- Ask questions about your data in plain language
- AI-suggested charts and automatic insight summaries
- Interactive dashboards, maps, and visualisations
- Tableau Pulse for personalised metric alerts
- Connects to spreadsheets, databases, and cloud apps

How it works
The platform turns raw spreadsheets and databases into interactive charts, maps, and dashboards that anyone in a company can explore. Tableau AI, including the newer Tableau Next, adds agentic features that prepare data, build visualisations, and surface insights automatically. For analysts, that means less time building charts by hand and more time answering the questions managers actually ask.
Tableau's free option is Tableau Public, which lets anyone publish visualisations for free, though everything you make is public. For private work, the Viewer plan at $15 per user per month lets people explore dashboards, while Creator at $75 is the full authoring licence. Small teams should start with a mix of one Creator and several Viewers, and only add Explorer seats at $42 for people who need to edit dashboards.
