There's a lot of talk about agentic systems that AI can take actions, run workflows, and operate autonomously. However, when I look at AI startups, most of them seem to be building dashboards: analytics panels, control screens, monitoring tools.
If the goal is autonomous agents, why are we still shipping dashboards? Is this a trust issue, a sales issue, or something deeper about how companies adopt new tech?
Curious what you think.
I have the same debated working on my self-hosted analytics platform[0], where I am torn between implementing more features to build better dashboards and working on the AI features that simply generate insights and crunch numbers, so you won't even have to look at a dashboard.
That being said, people simply like seeing numbers go up...
