Q1 was a defining start to the year, marked by our biggest release to date including the launch of our AI Copilot, meaningful events with partners and customers around the world, and recognition for the impact we’re delivering. Here’s a look back at the most impactful moments of Q1.
A major product milestone: Version 2026 is here
We kicked off the year by releasing Version 2026 of Nectari on January 13, our most significant update in company history. This release brings a brand-new UI and UX, designed to make everyday work faster, clearer, and more intuitive. Whether users are navigating key workflows or managing complex operations, the new experience is built around what matters most: usability, efficiency, and confidence.
Most notably, this release introduced an innovation our team had been developing for months: our AI Copilot.
Introducing AI Copilot: turning complex data into simple, actionable insight
Another major highlight of Q1 was the launch of our AI Copilot, an innovation that transforms the way users interact with their business data.
AI Copilot is designed to help teams:
- Get instant insights & trends: AI Copilot quickly spots top performers, anomalies, and emerging patterns, no more manual digging.
- Understand the “why” + next steps: It clarifies what’s driving changes in your KPIs and suggests actionable guidance right away.
- Get the most out of their data: Users can query business data naturally and get accurate, real-time answers without technical expertise.
- Get clear takeaways for confident decisions: Copilot summarizes reports, highlights what matters on dashboards, and supports faster, data-informed decisions.
- Create and refine reports faster: AI Copilot uses smart suggestions to turn complex data into clear visuals and share-ready outputs.
This is a meaningful step forward in how our platform supports modern businesses, moving beyond reporting to real, practical decision support.
Meeting partners and customers across the globe
Q1 also brought an exciting series of events where we connected with partners, customers, and the broader ecosystem across multiple regions.
