About Omni
Omni ships weekly, and almost every week the headline item is an AI feature
Omni publishes a dated weekly digest whose body is a single line listing that week's items, so each entry compresses several releases into a sentence. Across seven consecutive weeks the pattern is unmistakable: AI-powered semantic model generation reaching general availability, AI Routines creatable from chat and deliverable to Slack, AI model suggestion endpoints, AI credit controls scoped to embed entity groups and individual users, AI Evals support on Azure, and MCP surfaces appearing both in-app and as a searchDashboards tool. The non-AI items are steady BI plumbing — OAuth and GitHub App authentication for dbt connections, mobile dashboard settings, map legend positioning, presentation mode.
