Qlik Expands Agentic AI and Data Trust at Qlik Connect 2026

Overview

• At Qlik Connect 2026 in Kissimmee, Fla., Qlik announced a broad upgrade that links Qlik Answers, Discovery Agent, and MCP Server with new Predict, Automate, and Analytics Agents to move users from inquiry to action.
• Qlik advanced data products as the core unit for AI-ready data and introduced a Qlik Trust Score that rates accuracy, timeliness, diversity, and completeness, with a semantic layer to keep business definitions consistent across tools.
• New operational controls include data contracts, service-level objectives, alerting, and anomaly detection to track reliability over time and surface drift before it leads to bad decisions or failed automations.
• The company added Data Product Agent and Data Quality Agent, which use natural language to help create and evaluate data products, generate Trust Scores, retrieve quality signals, define rules, and recommend fixes.
• Since general availability in February, Discovery Agent has flagged more than 100,000 findings, and most Qlik Cloud accounts with agentic tools are actively using agents, pointing to early production traction.
