Data Dive #62: Datalogz MCP Server is Here ⚡
AI does not fix a broken analytics foundation. It inherits it and then amplifies it.
You can now connect Datalogz Control Tower to Claude, Cursor, or Copilot and ask questions about your analytics estate in plain language, such as:
- “Which Power BI reports hasn’t anyone opened in 90 days?”
- “Where do we have duplicate or overlapping reports?”
- “Who has access to the Finance workspace?”
- “Is this dashboard still actively maintained?”
- “What reports depend on this semantic model?”
- “What could break if we change this data source?”
- “Which workspaces have the most unused content?”
- “Where are we seeing refresh failures or other reliability issues?”
- “Which assets are consuming the most capacity?”
Answers come directly from your organization’s metadata, with links to the relevant assets when someone needs to investigate or take action. It’s the same governed information your team already trusts in the inventory pages, now available inside the tools where they’re already working.
TOMORROW: Cyber Guardrails for the AI Era
Offensive AI is getting sharper, giving attackers agentic tools to find vulnerabilities and overwhelm defenses at scale. Whack-a-mole security won't hold. Data, development, and security need to work as one system, catching issues at build time, not after.
Logan Havern, Founder & CEO of Datalogz, will join a panel on this exact tension, alongside Kendall Moore (CTO, Sicura) and Miles Parry (CEO, MPCH), moderated by Guy Filippelli, Managing Partner of Squadra Ventures. Learn more here.

💡 Gartner Mumbai Session: Analytics Sprawl to Self-driving Insights
Datalogz is heading to Gartner Data & Analytics Summit India, where Logan Havern, Founder & CEO of Datalogz, takes the stage to talk through what it actually takes to fix the analytics estate.
The numbers set up the problem: analytics assets are growing 77% year-over-year, yet 79% of reports go unused, dataset reuse sits at just 14%, and a third of reports still run on flat files. AI doesn't fix that. It scales it. The session walks through how a Fortune 500 enterprise is moving from fractured reporting to governed, AI-powered decision consoles, and what that transition actually looks like in a large enterprise.

🤖 Introducing the Datalogz Copilot Connector
Copilot for Power BI answers from whatever sits underneath it: stale or fresh, duplicated or trusted, it has no way to tell the difference. The Datalogz Copilot Connector brings Copilot usage, cost, and output activity directly into Control Tower, so admins can finally see what Copilot is querying, how it's being used across the org, and where it's pulling from an asset no one owns anymore.
Governance doesn't stop at the dashboard. Now it doesn't stop at the AI layer either.
🍽️ August Series in Atlanta: Data Leader Dinner at Le Colonial
Last month, Datalogz hosted a small group of Atlanta-based data and analytics leaders for an evening of conversation over dinner. The conversation had us wrestling with the same questions: how to govern a sprawling analytics estate, where AI fits into that picture, and what it actually takes to get there without slowing the business down.
More cities on the way through to the end of 2026.
