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 Whatagraph?

Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.

Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.

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.

6.3

Whatagraph's IQ Agents now watch ad accounts and act on them, not just report.

◆ Current state

Whatagraph builds client reports for agencies and ships most weeks. In late October it launched IQ Agents, which watch marketing accounts on a schedule, report problems to Slack and act through MCP in Meta, Asana and HubSpot. Mid-October brought Excel attachments in report emails, six Ahrefs report types including AI citations, stored blends and ad creatives in tables.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from showing what happened in ad accounts to acting on it. Earlier releases cut the manual work of keeping reports running; IQ Agents take on the monitoring and follow-up work itself. Source coverage keeps widening alongside, from OpenAI Ads to Ahrefs AI citations.

◆ Prediction

Expect IQ Agents to gain more platforms they can act in beyond Meta, Asana and HubSpot. The entries do not show agent pricing.
