ThoughtSpot launches major platform update to redefine legacy BI tools

Francois Lopitaux, SVP Product Management at ThoughtSpot

ThoughtSpot, which makes an Agentic Analytics Platform, has announced a major platform update built to break through the rigid boundaries of legacy BI tools – boundaries that have long constrained access, trust, and impact in analytics. The new platform lets teams get work done, monetize their data, and build intelligent applications –  by embedding agentic intelligence into everyday apps and workflows businesses rely on.

The new platform is powered by its most advanced AI agent yet, Spotter 3, which unifies all company data, from structured data stored in databases to unstructured data in apps such as Slack, Salesforce, Jira, and others, delivering contextual insights instantly. With flexible embedding options via SDK, API, or MCP, ThoughtSpot Embedded enables teams to bring this intelligence into their apps and workflows, helping end users make smarter decisions wherever they work.

“The problem with legacy BI is that it’s trapped,” said Francois Lopitaux, SVP Product Management at ThoughtSpot. “Trapped in rigid dashboards. Trapped in silos between structured and unstructured data. Trapped in a world where data is a reporting exercise, not an active partner in every decision.

“Today, ThoughtSpot is smashing those boundaries.”

Lopitaux stressed the importance of this new agentic intelligence.

“We’re launching new innovations in ThoughtSpot Embedded and Spotter 3 that redefine what analytics can be,” he said. “This isn’t just about putting dashboards in an app; it’s about embedding agentic intelligence into every workflow, every app, and every AI tool. We’re breaking down the walls between structured data (from your Snowflake or Databricks) and unstructured data (from Slack or Salesforce). Spotter 3 unifies it all, giving you full context and instant answers.”

Lopitaux said that with ThoughtSpot’s new flexible SDKs, APIs, and the Agentic MCP Server, you can now embed intelligent, conversational experiences directly into your products and workflows.  This means that if you ask a question in your CRM, you get a live, data-driven answer.

“Our platform doesn’t just show you data,” he stated. “It helps you act on it. Trigger workflows in other apps, orchestrate actions, and drive outcomes – all directly from an insight. The future of business intelligence isn’t about reports and charts. It’s about making intelligence a seamless, trusted, and always-on partner for every person and every decision.”

This transformation is powered by key innovations across the ThoughtSpot platform that pave the way for the autonomous enterprise. By removing the boundaries between structured and unstructured data, and between analytics and action, ThoughtSpot makes intelligence more accessible, actionable, and trustworthy than ever before.

“The promise of data has always been to drive smarter decisions,” Lopitaux stressed. “Today’s enterprise can no longer afford to be constrained by the rigid boundaries of legacy BI. With these innovations across our platform, we’re making business intelligence truly boundaryless—embedding agentic intelligence not just into an enterprise product, but across any workflows, applications, and entire data ecosystem. AI-powered analytics, done right, can unlock more business value in less time with fewer resources. This is the promise of analytics. It’s intuitive, it’s trusted, and it’s everywhere.”

In addition, ThoughtSpot Embedded redefines how modern products deliver intelligence – moving beyond traditional embedded BI to deeply embedded, agentic experiences that work wherever people work. Through four core pillars, product leaders are empowered to deliver boundaryless analytics that are intelligent, feel native, drive workflows, and scale with confidence.

The first is Embedded Intelligence. With AI Agents, AI-Augmented Liveboards, and precision embedding through the Visual Embed SDK and REST API, product teams can move beyond static embedded analytics to deliver intelligence that feels alive inside their applications.

The second is Native Experiences. Through the Integrated Developer Playground, no-code Theme Builder, and new Mobile SDKs, teams can build, style, and deploy analytics that feel like part of their product from day one.

Third is Seamless Workflows: With Custom Actions, Webhooks, and the ThoughtSpot’s Agentic MCP Server, intelligence no longer stops at the insight – it drives outcomes. Teams can trigger actions in tools like Salesforce or Slack, orchestrate workflows across their ecosystem, and even extend Spotter’s intelligence into AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor.

Finally comes a Trusted and Open Ecosystem. All of this is grounded in ThoughtSpot’s Agentic Semantic Layer, built-in governance, and cloud-agnostic architecture. Product teams gain the confidence that every embedded experience is governed, consistent, and explainable, while having the flexibility to work across any stack.

Spotter 3 is the latest evolution of ThoughtSpot’s AI agent for analytics, and the smartest agent yet. To make confident, data-driven decisions at scale, business leaders need full business context on their insights, and a trusted research partner for end-to-end analysis and reporting. Spotter 3’s latest capabilities bring contextual insights to life for everyone across the organization. Spotter can now act as an MCP host, allowing users to go beyond traditional data sources to connect with unstructured apps like Slack and Salesforce. Spotter 3 also combines new skills like code generation, forecasting, and multi-level research with more accurate and relevant answers, richer summaries, and better follow-up questions than ever before. Finally, Spotter 3 validates assumptions, checks results, and delivers actionable, end-to-end analysis for confident decision-making, ensuring the data and decisions are made in the best interest of your business.

“Empowering our teams and customers with timely, actionable insights is critical to our mission,” said Aria Moshari, Director of Software Engineering at Verisk. “ThoughtSpot’s latest innovations – especially advancements in Spotter and its easy embedding capabilities – are transforming how we deliver intelligence across our products. The seamless integration of structured data with AI-powered analysis, embedded directly into our workflows, unlocks an exciting future for analytics and accelerates time-to-market delivery for our customers.”

“ThoughtSpot’s latest release addresses two critical challenges I’m hearing consistently from enterprise clients: the struggle to make embedded analytics feel truly native rather than bolted-on, and the growing pressure to deliver AI capabilities that go beyond basic chatbots,” said Donald Farmer, Principal at TreeHive Strategy. “ThoughtSpot Embedded tackles both issues head-on with a comprehensive SDK for integration, Theme Builder for customization and Spotter 3. I think Research Mode for Spotter, in particular, represents a meaningful evolution in analytical AI towards the multi-step reasoning that advanced users expect from the best AI implementations.”

By putting intuitive, agentic intelligence everywhere, ThoughtSpot is empowering business users, data leaders, product leaders, and developers alike to transform how decisions are made and executed at scale. This is more than business intelligence. It’s boundaryless, agentic, intelligence—everywhere.
