You’ve got a Slack bot. Now what?

Building a self-service analytics agent isn’t a strategy, it’s a feature. The data teams winning in 2026 aren’t the ones with the most accurate agent - they’re the ones using their agent to fundamentally reshape what the data team does.

This is the strategic session. Ollie and Claire zoom out from the agent itself and ask: what’s the actual purpose of a data team when AI can answer most questions? Drawing on Count’s view across 400+ data teams going through this exact transition, they map out the four operational tenets of a modern data team and show how to mine agent question data for strategic gold.

This is Part 3 of a three-part series. It’s the most senior-leadership-friendly session - designed to stand alone for Heads of Data, CDOs, and analytics leaders thinking about team strategy.

Frequently asked questions

• I haven’t attended Parts 1 or 2 - should I still come? Yes. Part 3 is intentionally designed to stand alone. It’s strategic rather than technical, and assumes no prior context.
• Is this just a re-pitch of the previous sessions? No. Parts 1 and 2 are about building and maintaining agents. Part 3 is about what changes for your data team strategically once agents exist.
• I’m not technical - is this still for me? Yes - this session is the most accessible of the three. If you’re a CDO, Head of Data, or analytics leader, this is the one to come to.
