Announcing Tableau Einstein: Agent-Powered Analytics Delivering Data and Insights in the Flow of Work

Tableau Einstein, the new Tableau built on the Salesforce Platform and featuring Agentforce, is a reimagined analytics experience that accelerates the path from raw data to insights by infusing autonomous and assistive agents into every aspect of analytics to help everyone answer, engage, and act on insights directly from where they work in real time
Tableau Einstein uses AI and Agentforce to autonomously discover and surface insights then translate those insights into action through a built-in enterprise workflow solution  
Insights and actions can be surfaced everywhere — including Agentforce, Pulse in Slack, Salesforce, or any other application where people work
Tableau Einstein combines the best of Salesforce and Tableau, enabling any company to build composable AI-infused analytics solutions, reuse different components, and publish them into internal or external marketplaces
Salesforce today announced Tableau Einstein, a reimagined, AI-powered, visual analytics platform that includes Agentforce. Tableau Einstein opens up the power of business intelligence (BI) and analytics to everyone that wants to make data-driven work scalable, efficient, and more valuable. It is designed to intelligently embed data and insights across the flow of work so it becomes second nature to use data to drive action. Because Tableau Einstein is built on the Salesforce Platform, any team can use analytical insights to make strategic decisions more quickly and effectively. Additionally, Salesforce’s continued commitment to trust and privacy provides the most secure foundation for Tableau yet, accelerating global compliance that aligns with regulatory standards across different geographic locations.
With Tableau Einstein, data architects and analysts can build semantic models with agents integrated into the authoring flow, automatically applying recommended relationships between objects for context and augmenting definitions. A new dedicated marketplace will help developers create, reuse, and share apps and analytical assets more easily across the company and an extended Tableau Public. And, thanks to Agentforce, Tableau Einstein also benefits business users who previously had to wait for their data analyst colleagues to pull insights they needed to quickly access. For example, a service representative can get current, customizable dashboards directly in Service Cloud that show support cases that need escalation and to track personal goals — including team attrition. HR reps can similarly log in to their workforce management tool of choice and see those same team attrition metrics across all departments, enabled by Tableau Einstein APIs, to easily identify where upcoming headcount might be needed. As a result, everyone will be able to collaborate across multiple assets – data sources, models, visualizations, and dashboards — using a drag-and-drop workspace to help ensure visibility and trust across the company.
Why it matters: Eighty-one percent of IT leaders say data silos hinder digital transformation, and 94% of business leaders believe they should be getting more value from their data. Additionally, only 30% of employees across the average enterprise report they are currently using data to make decisions. Tableau Einstein can make using and taking action on data efficient by surfacing contextual data and insights in the flow of work — including Salesforce and third-party apps. 
Go deeper: Tableau Einstein is designed to promote self-service and agility using the benefits of the shared Salesforce metadata framework. It includes:
The Salesforce perspective: “We’re in the midst of an autonomous revolution that’s changing the way businesses use data for competitive, customer, and employee experiences. By using high-performance AI to bring together data and action with humans, autonomous and assistive agents represent the new paradigm for business efficiency and will future-proof the data and analytics foundation you are already using. You no longer have to dig across data silos or be a data specialist to get the information to be successful in your role; data and insights are for everyone. With Tableau Einstein, you can now get insights proactively and intuitively right where you’re working and take action.” – Ryan Aytay, Tableau CEO
