Mokkup Moves of the Month

Big update

Multi-Screen Semantic Layer Export is now live. Export multiple screens at once, with the data, measures, and formulas already built in.

Sharper insights

Reference Lines are now available for select elements so that you can mark targets, averages, or thresholds right on your charts.

"Exports with data, measures, and formulas already built in were a big step for us, but they were limited to a single screen. Not anymore. This month, we removed that limitation, so your entire dashboard now moves faster from design to delivery."

Pavel Gupta

Chief Executive Officer

To support our work, a quick rating on G2 goes a long way.

What's Shaping BI This September 2026

AI & Analytics

Dashboards Get Their Own AI Agents

Data agents now live inside dashboards, answering follow-up questions in context so users dig deeper without ever leaving the report.

Dashboard Design

Theme-First Design Becomes the Starting Point

Modern visual defaults and custom themes now shape every report upfront, making fonts, palettes, and spacing consistent before a single chart is placed.

BI Governance

Semantics Beat Syntax for Trustworthy AI

Teams are adding business meaning to every metric and column, since AI answers are only as reliable as the context behind them.

Performance

Leaner Dashboards Load Only What You See

Tile limits and tabs that query only when opened are pushing designers toward focused, faster dashboards over crowded single pages.
