Do you build a semantic layer first?

Where it makes sense, yes. Defining metrics once makes every dashboard, and every AI agent, consistent. Learn about semantic layer build.

Can we use AI on top of our BI setup?

Yes, once metrics are governed. We connect AI-assisted analytics to the same definitions your dashboards use, so answers match.
