Ep42: What is Vibe Analytics and How to Get Your Company Ready for It?

In this episode of the Data Neighbor Podcast, we sit down with Lei Tang, co-founder and CTO of Fabi AI, to explore the messy reality of data quality, the limits of self-serve BI, and why Vibe Analytics might be the shift organizations need. With experience leading data science at Lyft, Walmart Labs, and Clari, Lei brings grounded, first-hand insights into how modern data teams can thrive even when their data is anything but clean.You’ll learn:- Why “perfect data” is a myth and what to do instead- How AI-native BI changes the self-serve equation- The challenges and promise of Vibe Analytics- Why critical thinking, not SQL, is your most valuable skill- The case for AI-driven semantic layers over manual curation- How AI agents might evolve into collaborative teammates- Real risks of AI hallucinations and how to build guardrailsIf you’ve ever dealt with stakeholder overload, a graveyard of unused dashboards, or felt stuck waiting on a “single source of truth” project to finish, this one’s for you. We get real about trade-offs, show how AI can amplify impact (not replace you), and dive into what the future of analytics workflows might actually look like.Connect with Lei: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lei-tang-ai/Connect with Hai, Sravya, and Shane (let us know which platform sent you!):- Hai: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hai-guan-6b58a7a/- Sravya: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sravyamadipalli/- Shane: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaneausleybutler/#datascience #vibeanalytics #fabi #selfservebi #aiinanalytics #dataquality #dataengineering #dataops #aibi #dataneighborpodcast #aiproducts #dataworkflows #analyticsleadership #futureofanalytics
