2025: The Year Data Work Opened Up

In 2025, the introduction of agentic systems significantly transformed data work by making complex workflows faster and more accessible to a diverse range of users beyond traditional data roles. This was not a year of minor improvements but a pivotal shift in how teams approached data work, driven by agents that could plan, reason, and execute tasks reliably. Zerve capitalized on this shift by emphasizing agentic systems and adopting a bottom-up, product-led growth strategy, allowing users to engage in real data work immediately without extensive sales processes. This approach attracted a wide variety of users, from experienced data scientists to RevOps and finance teams, who applied agentic technology in innovative ways. The company’s focus on user experience, such as integrating Canvas and Notebook views, providing block descriptions, and offering various agent modes, fostered a seamless and collaborative environment between humans and agents. These changes not only increased accessibility but also maintained the rigor of data work, expanding participation in meaningful data tasks more broadly than anticipated.
