About Cube
Cube ships Creator Mode and a Slack agent — embedded BI and agent surfaces in the same month.
Cube is shipping weekly across three coherent fronts: AI agent surfaces (Slack Agent for ad-hoc questions, Analytics Chat under the hood), embedded analytics (Creator Mode lets customers embed the full Cube app, not just dashboards), and the semantic-layer fundamentals (calculated fields in Explore/Workbook, workbook versions, custom chart palettes, refined filtering). Earlier in the period, data masking, the Viewer role, and scheduled-screenshot notifications rounded out the governance and distribution story.
