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 guardrails
If 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.
