What is Count?

Count's agent now shows the chain of cells and assumptions behind every answer it gives.

Count is a data-canvas analytics tool organized around an AI agent. Its late-October release added Reasoning Chains, which link each claim and chart in an agent answer back to the cells, sources and assumptions behind it. Over the summer it rebuilt the agent with web data and auto layout, moved Python to a server sandbox with any PyPI package, and added longer agent conversations, a faster empty-canvas start and catalog views that stay populated while they refresh.

What is Usermaven?

Usermaven is rebuilding analytics around Maven AI agents that report without being asked.

Usermaven shipped Maven AI Agents in September, which run scheduled analyses and surface insights proactively, and now lets users save AI-generated charts to dashboards and share agent reports by public link. Over the summer it added an MCP server, a Salesforce integration with reverse ETL, and Event Sources for importing conversions from other tools.

Count's agent now shows the chain of cells and assumptions behind every answer it gives.

◆ Current state

Count is a data-canvas analytics tool organized around an AI agent. Its late-October release added Reasoning Chains, which link each claim and chart in an agent answer back to the cells, sources and assumptions behind it. Over the summer it rebuilt the agent with web data and auto layout, moved Python to a server sandbox with any PyPI package, and added longer agent conversations, a faster empty-canvas start and catalog views that stay populated while they refresh.

◆ Where it's heading

Count is making the agent the main way to work in the canvas, then adding the checks that let people trust its output. Reasoning Chains and server-side Python with managed secrets point at analysis that can be audited and run on real data. Steady fix lists for agent edits show the agent is still being hardened.

◆ Prediction

Expect more ways to inspect and correct agent work, building on Reasoning Chains. The entries don't show whether chains will extend to Slack answers.

2.5

Usermaven is rebuilding analytics around Maven AI agents that report without being asked.

◆ Current state

Usermaven shipped Maven AI Agents in September, which run scheduled analyses and surface insights proactively, and now lets users save AI-generated charts to dashboards and share agent reports by public link. Over the summer it added an MCP server, a Salesforce integration with reverse ETL, and Event Sources for importing conversions from other tools.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from a web analytics dashboard to a data layer that AI agents query and act on, with data flowing in from CRMs and payment tools and back out to operational tools. Recent releases tie agent output back into the classic dashboard.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper agent actions, such as alerts or audience syncs triggered from agent findings, building on the agents and reverse ETL already shipped.
