New Alteryx AI Insights Agent delivers insights through analyst-defined AI ready datasets and business logic within governed workflows
April 23, 2026 —Alteryx, Inc., an AI-ready data and analytics company, today announced the launch of the Alteryx AI Insights Agent, now available on Google Cloud Marketplace, bringing governed analytics directly into Gemini Enterprise. As companies increasingly turn to AI to drive decisions, a critical gap has emerged between speed and trust. While generative AI is reshaping how work gets done, most approaches still fall short in enterprise environments where accuracy, governance, and control are essential. AI-generated responses are often inconsistent with business metrics, difficult to validate, and not aligned with how organisations actually operate. Nearly half of leaders cite high-quality, accessible, and well-governed data as the top factor for agentic AI to reach its full potential, underscoring the gap between AI capability and enterprise readiness.
“At the core of enterprise AI is trust,” said Ben Canning, Chief Product Officer at Alteryx. “When it comes to decisions like pricing, operations, or compliance, accuracy isn’t optional. AI doesn’t just need data — it needs to understand how the business actually works. That means applying defined logic, rules, and context that the people closest to the work understand and continuously evolve. With the AI Insights Agent, we’re bringing that logic directly into Gemini Enterprise, so every answer is consistent, explainable, and ready to drive action.”
New solution provides visibility, control, and protection for generative AI adoption, designed for MSPs
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – April 23, 2026 – Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, has announced the launch of Acronis GenAI Protection, a monitoring and security solution that enables managed service providers (MSPs) to control generative AI usage across client environments, preventing sensitive data exposure and protecting against malicious prompt manipulation. Acronis GenAI Protection represents the initial phase of Acronis Cyber Workspace, with additional capabilities planned for release to deliver a protected AI workspace, natively integrated into the Acronis platform.
As organizations rapidly adopt generative AI tools, businesses face growing risks related to data leakage, shadow AI usage, and malicious prompt manipulation. Many consumer-grade AI tools lack enterprise visibility, while enterprise solutions are not designed to be delivered and managed through MSPs. Acronis GenAI Protection addresses this gap by providing partners with a purpose-built solution to monitor and secure generative AI usage across SMB environments.
