Domo announced a major upgrade to its core business intelligence experience, introducing new capabilities that make it easier for business users to work with data while giving analysts stronger modeling tools and giving data teams better governance control.
For years, business intelligence tools have asked people to adapt their workflows to specialized analytics software. Domo’s latest update brings more familiar ways of working, such as spreadsheets and structured reporting, directly into an agent-building platform.
Unveiled this week at the company’s annual Domopalooza conference, the update introduces Worksheets, a spreadsheet-like way to interact with data directly inside Domo, along with Report Builder for PDF, a new tool for producing formatted executive reports. It also adds Data Models and semantic layer enhancements that help organizations maintain consistent definitions and relationships across their data.
Together, these capabilities shorten the path from asking a question to delivering an answer the business can act on.

“For years, BI tools have forced people to adapt their workflows to the software,” said Daren Thayne, CTO at Domo. “We’re turning that model around by bringing familiar ways of working into a governed agent-building platform, anchored by a semantic layer that keeps business definitions consistent. That combination makes it much easier for teams to move from exploring data to acting on it.”
Bringing Familiar Workflows Into an Agent-Building Platform
One of the most anticipated additions is Worksheets, a spreadsheet-style experience built directly into Domo. Available now, Worksheets give users a familiar environment to work with data while staying connected to governed datasets across the platform. They also allow organizations to provide flexible, self-service exploration without impacting curated dashboards and applications, helping teams maintain control over formal data experiences.
The new Report Builder for PDF, currently entering beta, addresses one of the most common requests from enterprise teams: producing polished reports for executives and stakeholders. Users can design multi-page reports with full control over layout, while long tables paginate automatically and reports can be scheduled for delivery. Combined with Domo’s existing data permissions, reports can also be personalized and distributed securely at scale.
A Stronger Data Foundation for Enterprise Analytics
Domo is also introducing Data Models, now in beta, which allow teams to define relationships between datasets once and reuse them across the Domo platform. This creates a consistent data structure that analysts and business users can rely on without rebuilding logic repeatedly.
Enhancements to Domo’s semantic layer expand how organizations define and manage business context across the platform. Teams can establish shared entities and business definitions while attaching metadata to calculated fields so those definitions remain consistent across dashboards and applications. A new Schema tab provides a centralized place to view column-level metadata and descriptions, helping maintain clarity and governance as data environments grow.
