Burak Karakan is the co-founder of Bruin, an AI-powered data analytics platform that connects every data source inside your organization and delivers answers in minutes — not weeks. Built by engineers who spent years duct-taping data tools together for enterprise clients, Bruin was born out of frustration with how long it takes businesses to get answers from their own data.
In this episode, Burak breaks down why most companies are sitting on a goldmine of untapped data, why agentic AI is completely changing what's possible, and what the next phase of business intelligence actually looks like.
In this episode:
Why 80% of the value your business needs is already inside your own data — you just can't access it yet
From 6 weeks to 6 minutes: what happens when AI collapses the time between question and answer
The "burger test" — why teams don't trust answers that come too fast, and how Bruin breaks that psychological barrier
How agentic AI differs from traditional AI — and why the ability to iterate changes everything
What Bruin's on-premise deployment means for enterprises that can't afford data security risks
Why the companies that think AI can't do something today will be proven wrong within a year
What's coming next: proactive analytics, autonomous campaign management, and AI data teams that never sleep
