Is the dashboard dead, or just evolving? In this interview from HumanX 2026, Michael Grinich (CEO of WorkOS) sits down with Colin Zima, CEO and Co-Founder of Omni, to separate the hype from reality in the world of modern analytics.
Colin explains why Omni is moving toward an "Agentic" future, but cautions that human-in-the-loop oversight is still the missing piece for truly autonomous data analysis. They explore the transition from simple SQL writing to generative UI, and why the most innovative product teams are now building and throwing away prototypes 10x faster than ever before.
Key Insights:
• The true definition of an "Agent": Autonomy vs. simple instruction sets.
• Why AI still struggles with complex business questions (and why humans are the cure).
• The 3-Layer Future: AI as a starter, UI as a refinement layer, and Code as the source of truth.
• Why "disposable software" might be the key to rapid enterprise innovation.
