摘要

Visual analytics systems traditionally combine analytical methods and interactive visualizations into a fixed application specified at the design phase. Coding agents offer a flexible approach: experts could conduct analysis through natural-language instructions. We envision an agentic dashboard as a persistent visual analytics workspace where an agent makes decisions about analytical methods, views, and their coordination within a designer-defined decision space. This approach shifts part of the visualization designer's role from engineering a fixed interface to defining the decisions an agent may make at runtime. We illustrate how such a dashboard could operate with current capabilities and propose criteria for evaluating its behavior and potential failures. As analytical workflows become more fluid and agent-mediated, visualization can help experts maintain awareness, coordinate with agents, and exercise judgment.
