Tableau Next: MCP Server
Power your custom AI with agentic analytics. This secure integration allows your agents to execute complex analytical tasks and deliver accurate answers from a governed, context-rich semantic layer - all protected by the Agentforce Trust Layer. Available in Beta.
Published Data Sources into Tableau Semantics
Jumpstart your agentic analytics journey. Maximize your existing data investments without migration, unlocking interoperability between products. Create new semantic data models in Tableau Semantics from Tableau Cloud Published Data Sources (PDS), enabling you to build upon and leverage them directly within Tableau Next. Generally available in Tableau Next.
Tableau Next: External Embedding with SDK
Easily embed agentic analytics across any web application. Expedite development time with previews and easy customization via the SDK. Empower business users with live metrics, vizzes and dashboards to unlock data-driven action in any flow of work. Generally available in Tableau Next.
Tableau Next: Concierge in Lightning
Enable conversational analytics in the flow of work with Concierge in Lightning. The agent will automatically inherit all context (like filters and data sources) from your embedded Tableau Next dashboard, so you can ask plain-language questions and get accurate responses without leaving your workflow. Generally available in Tableau Next.
Tableau Next: Viz and Dashboard Enhancements
Accelerate your data journey and move from insight to action faster than ever. Test hypotheses in real-time by creating ad-hoc calculations directly within the visualization builder. Bring your vizzes and metrics to life by customizing colors to highlight key data points and align with your organization's brand. You can also effortlessly create dashboards with an intuitive design experience: simply reposition widgets and the surrounding elements will automatically adjust to make room.

Tableau Pulse: Legend in Anchor Chart

The Advanced Editor now supports key user functions (e.g., USERNAME, ISMEMBEROF, FULLNAME) that were previously blocked, so analysts can ensure that users only see the data they are authorized to view.
Tableau Semantics: Description Generation
Accelerate semantic modeling and improve agent accuracy by automating description generation of objects, fields, and metrics within a semantic model.
