Those companies will be dead once this goes mainstream. Why pay to a 3rd party company when you can ask LLM to create graphs and analysis of whatever you want. Pair it with scheduled tasks and I really don't see any value in those SaaS products.

there are a lot of nuances in Business Analytics, you maybe can get away with GenAI for naiive questions like "Who are my top5 customers?", but thats not the type of insight usually needed. Most companies already know their top5 customers by heart and these don't change a lot.

Nuanced BI analytics can have a lot of toggles and filters and drilldowns, like compare sales of product A in category B subcategory C, but only for stores in regions X,Y and that one city Z during time periods T1, T2. and out of these sales, look at sales of private brand vs national brand, and only retail customers, but exclude purchases via business credit card or invoiced.

with every feature in a DB (of which there could be thousands), the number of permutations and dimensions grows very quickly.

whats probably going to happen, is simple questions could be self-served by GenAI, but more advanced usage is still needed interention by specialist. So we would see some improvement in productivity, but people will not lose jobs. Perhaps number of jobs could even increase due to increased demand for analytics, as it often happens with increased efficiency/productivity (Jevon's paradox)

Those companies and integrations are already using LLMs. That's the whole point. I'm only talking about LLM products, many of which are free and open source. This has been mainstream for years.
