“If you’re not already thinking about how to govern the agent environment that you’re building, we believe that it is not a nice to have, it’s a must have.” – Shawn Rogers

AI agents are moving into production. And that’s where things get messy. In this Q3 2026 update, Shawn Rogers and Carsten Bange unpack what changes when agents get real access: governance, sovereignty, cost, and the knock-on effects for BI and analytics. They ground the discussion in what teams are experiencing across major AI platforms like OpenAI and Anthropic, and why infrastructure dependence is becoming part of the governance conversation.

They also connect the dots to what the market is signaling. From Snowflake and Databricks to AWS, and across the AI ecosystem with OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and OpenRouter.

Other companies discussed: DuckDB, Natoma, Nvidia, Salesforce, Domo, Progress, Golden Analytics, Gravity.
