Qlik is working closely with Amazon AWS and this obvious here at #QlikConnect! I'll be getting more details from them later today!

Qlik Open Lakehouse just announced. 5x faster access to data.#QlikConnect #TFDx
— Gina (@gminks.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T14:06:38.467Z
Hmmm … here at #TFDx #QlikConnect they're talking about a Qlik Trust Score that ranks the trustworthiness of the data driving a #generative or #Agentic #AI analysis. I am DEFINITELY gonna probe this in detail on the demo grounds later today and tomorrow – intriguing! 🤔
— JimTheWhyGuy (@jimthewhyguy.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T14:05:28.970Z
One of my favorite innovation of Qlik Talend Cloud is the Trust Score, which reflects the importance of data quality: Validity, diversity, completeness, timeliness, accuracy, discoverability, and usage Glad to see it at #QlikConnect this year too!
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:59:07.559Z
Qlik Cloud Analytics is expanding with anomaly detection, trend forecasting, faster data preparation, and immediate action. These features, including Discovery Agent and Multivariate Time Series Forecasting, will be available for general availability in summer 2025. #QlikConnect
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:51:22.483Z
So we're seeing a live demo of Qlik Answers – pretty interesting example of an #AI-centric platform – hopefully which I'll get a chance to explore on the exhibition floor a bit later today at #TFDx #QlikConnect 🤔
— JimTheWhyGuy (@jimthewhyguy.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:43:36.609Z
1/ Qlik CEO Mike Capone kicked off #QlikConnect with a clear message: Qlik leads in enterprise data and AI—spanning data integration, automated data quality, analytics, and BI. Two major announcements this morning set the tone. 🧵
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.689Z
2/ First: The Qlik Agentic Experience. It’s a new platform that blends structured + unstructured data, giving users proactive insights via a conversational interface.
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.690Z
3/ This experience is powered by Qlik’s engine and years of data quality + governance work. The result? A safe, scalable interface that lets users talk to their data—and act on it.
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.691Z
4/ Specialized AI agents will assist with risk detection, opportunity discovery, and even automate pipeline design. It’s not just chat—it’s a data ops accelerator.
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.692Z
5/ Second: The Qlik Open Lakehouse. Built on Apache Iceberg, it’s embedded in Talend Cloud and leverages Upsolver tech for fast, high-volume ingestion.
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.693Z
6/ This lakehouse supports near real-time data and works with most popular analytics platforms. Currently in private preview—GA coming July 2025.
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.694Z
7/ We’ll be sharing @techfieldday deep dives into both announcements next week. Stay tuned for details on Qlik’s next big moves in AI and data architecture. #QlikConnect #TFDx
— Stephen Foskett (@stephen.fosketts.net) 2025-05-14T13:41:20.695Z
Essentially, Qlik is shifting focus towards Qlik Answers (AI-chat-based queries and visualizations). Obviously this _supplements_ the dashboards work. They should and will be complementary.Qlik Answers ain’t agentic, but will be the core service for various agent Fisher talked about#QlikConnect
— Guy Currier (@guycurrier.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:33:18.244Z
There it is!#QlikConnect
— Guy Currier (@guycurrier.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:33:18.243Z
Are ERP and CRM interfaces evolving—or being reinvented? With Qlik now bridging structured + unstructured data and backing it with a Lakehouse architecture, the shift isn’t incremental. It’s foundational. We’re witnessing the next generation of data-driven decision interfaces.… pic.twitter.com/sSVesoMs3F

They have added multi-varient time series to analyze more variables across time to give sharper forecasts.#QlikConnect #TFDx
— Gina (@gminks.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:28:50.311Z
Qlik Answers (their generative AI) can now use structured and unstructured data.#QlikConnect #TFDx

Qlik has added these features in the last six months. #qlikconnect #tfdx

Qlik business leaders on stage now describing the new Qlik Agentic AI platform. This isn't a revolution where you start over from scratch, but it's an evolution.#QlikConnect #TFDx
— Gina (@gminks.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:23:58.953Z
Jeff Fisher (Chief Strategy Officer at Qlik) on the main stage at #QlikConnect: “People don’t want dashboards, they want answers.”Totally true, but a remarkable statement from a company that’s a visualization king. Whatever in the world could he be leading up to? (Hopefully he will nAIme it soon)
— Guy Currier (@guycurrier.bsky.social) 2025-05-14T13:23:59.080Z
This is one of coolest pre keynote entertainment acts I’ve seen. #QlikConnect pic.twitter.com/ODZ9dooK7t
— Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) May 14, 2025
Team @TechFieldDay.com #TFDx and @stephen.fosketts.net are at the #QlikConnect Keynote learning about #Qlik Open Lakehouse and how it simplifies building and managing Iceberg-based lakehouses on S3 with automation, real-time updates, and easy integration—no deep tech skills needed.

A break from the normal programming. I don’t trash vendors in sponsored content. That’s not the game. But I also don’t pretend everything works just because someone’s paying me. If I highlight something, it’s because I’ve seen real value in it. If something doesn’t get mentioned?…

IDC said:GenAI = velocityAgentic AI = agilityMe: This is why getting your data right is critical. Bad data (or bad understanding of the data) is how you get a report that says 150 year old people are getting social security checks.#qlikconnect #tfdx

magine @COentrepreneur and I going head-to-head on data readiness at #QlikConnect. What does scalable AI-ready data look like? Are you trusting autonomous agents? Still elbow-deep in ETL with Talend? Or building a hybrid pipeline? Let’s debate. pic.twitter.com/h74pP4xxV1

So we have AmberMac herself as #TFDx #QlikConnect host for the next two mornings – should be an interesting vibe, especially from the #GenerativeAI and #AgenticAI perspectives and collaborations between carefully curated #data and intelligent application of #AI
