The honest brief
Golden Analytics
Built AI-first rather than bolting AI onto legacy BI, with a 'Slider of Autonomy' that dials how much the AI does versus the analyst.
- AI at the core, not bolted on
- Slider of Autonomy for control
- Auto data profiling and dashboards
- Free tier to start
- From ex-Tableau product leadership
- Very new (launched 2026)
- Cloud-only
- Limited track record vs. incumbents
Holistics
Its AI reasons over a governed semantic layer (AQL) so answers stay grounded in defined metrics — verifiable BI, not ad-hoc text-to-SQL.
- Lineage and multi-turn query context
- Analytics-as-code with Git and dbt integration
- Self-service exploration for non-technical users
- Established, profitable, bootstrapped vendor
- Paid-only — plans start around $800/month
- Semantic-layer modeling has a setup cost
- Smaller ecosystem than incumbent BI suites
