What is Holistics?

BI tool pivots toward conversational AI while expanding connectors and dev-loop tooling.

Holistics is shipping a tight, well-curated changelog with real product disclosures: a conversational 'AI that Asks Back' mode, an Oracle Database connector, a one-command local agentic-development setup that wraps Claude Code, org-level GitHub App integration, dashboard auto-run, and small modeling polish. The backdrop is recent BYOK support for Claude and Gemini providers, so the AI surface is the active investment area while connector breadth and developer ergonomics get parallel attention.

What is Deepnote?

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents

Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.

BI tool pivots toward conversational AI while expanding connectors and dev-loop tooling.

◆ Current state

Holistics is shipping a tight, well-curated changelog with real product disclosures: a conversational 'AI that Asks Back' mode, an Oracle Database connector, a one-command local agentic-development setup that wraps Claude Code, org-level GitHub App integration, dashboard auto-run, and small modeling polish. The backdrop is recent BYOK support for Claude and Gemini providers, so the AI surface is the active investment area while connector breadth and developer ergonomics get parallel attention.

◆ Where it's heading

Holistics is positioning itself as an AI-first analytics workbench — bring-your-own-model on the back, conversational dialog on the front, with the modeling layer (AMQL) treated as code that agents and IDEs can manipulate. The Oracle connector and GitHub App work suggest enterprise readiness is climbing alongside the AI investment rather than after it. Expect the conversational-AI surface and agentic dev loop to keep deepening.

◆ Prediction

Likely next move is more interactive-AI capability (multi-turn data exploration, follow-up clarifications baked into more workflows) plus another enterprise-grade connector or auth integration to match the GitHub App pattern.

Deepnote turns the notebook into shared context for AI coding agents

◆ Current state

Deepnote has spent the year hardening the fundamentals of a collaborative notebook — Git sync, run snapshots, Polars, multi-format interop, AI cost visibility — and is now opening that accumulated workspace context to external agents. The June move wiring Codex directly into the workspace signals where the bet is going.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is positioning its notebooks, scheduled jobs, and integrations as the grounding context layer for AI exploration, while steadily closing the engineering-workflow gaps (Git, snapshots, reproducibility) that made notebooks hard to trust. Reproducibility plus agent-readable context is the combined thesis.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper agent integration — more tools beyond Codex able to read and act on workspace context — alongside continued reproducibility and governance features like the AI usage metering already shipped.
