# What we're building next

Last updated: August 5, 2026

## Q3 2026 focus

Pivot and hierarchical widgets and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility have now shipped, bringing analytical depth and enterprise readiness to Studio. The rest of Q3 turns to a visual data expression builder, global undo/redo on the canvas, server-side pagination, and AI controls and customisations. Planned items reflect current intent — timing may shift as priorities evolve.

## Q1 2026

### AG Studio Go-Live (shipped)

The foundational composer UI for building analytics dashboards with AG Grid and AG Charts.

## Q2 2026

### [Custom Widget](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/custom-widgets/) (shipped)

Drop custom HTML/JS or framework components onto the Studio canvas alongside native charts and grids.

**Why:** Unblocks customers who need bespoke visualisations without leaving Studio.

### [Server-Side Aggregation](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/server-side-data/) (shipped)

Sum, count, avg and other aggregations run on the server rather than in the browser.

**Why:** Handles enterprise-scale datasets that would otherwise blow browser memory limits.

### [Data Edit UI](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/editable-fields/) (shipped)

Lets report users edit field properties — formatting, labels, and display — on the edit panel.

**Why:** Gives report builders direct control over how fields are presented, reducing the need to pre-configure everything at the data source level.

### [Keyboard Actions & Shortcuts](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/keyboard-shortcuts/) (shipped)

Navigate and control the dashboard by keyboard, with context-aware shortcuts.

**Why:** Speeds up power users and lays the groundwork for meaningful accessibility compliance.

### [Calendars](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/calendars/) (shipped)

Group and analyse date fields by chronological and cyclical calendar units such as year, quarter, month.

**Why:** Removes the need to manually construct time-based expressions for common patterns like period-over-period comparisons and year-to-date calculations.

### [AI Extensibility](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/ai-toolkit/) (shipped)

Exposes Studio's AI tools externally via the AI Toolkit, callable independently of the assistant.

**Why:** Gives developers the flexibility to integrate Studio's AI capabilities into their own workflows and interfaces — the foundation on which everything that follows is built.

## Q3 2026

### [Accessibility](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/accessibility/) (shipped)

Audits and remediates Studio against WCAG 2.1 AA for keyboard, screen reader, and contrast.

**Why:** Meets a baseline expectation for enterprise software and a common requirement in procurement processes.

### [Pivot & Hierarchical Widgets](https://www.ag-grid.com/studio/javascript/building-widgets#pivot-tables) (shipped)

Adds pivot tables, hierarchical charts, and multi-level category grouping as new widget types.

**Why:** Gives enterprises the standard way to explore and visualise the hierarchical, multi-dimensional data they work with every day.

### Data Expression UI (in progress)

Lets users create calculated fields using a visual expression editor, without writing code.

**Why:** Makes custom metrics accessible to non-technical users who cannot write raw expressions.

### Undo / Redo (in progress)

Undo and redo for all edit mode actions — widget placement, resizing, and configuration.

**Why:** Underpins a confident editing experience as dashboards grow in complexity.

### AI Controls and Customisations (in progress)

Adds AI Preview, Undo/Redo for AI actions, and custom prompts and agent profiles.

**Why:** Makes the AI assistant trustworthy and configurable enough to deploy across a wide range of enterprise use cases.

### Server-Side Pagination (in progress)

Lets developers handle page requests server-side via a developer API across widget types.

**Why:** Keeps Studio performant when working with datasets that cannot be loaded client-side in their entirety.

## Q4 2026

### AI Server-Side Orchestration (planned)

Explores how Studio can participate in server-side agentic workflows via emerging frameworks.

**Why:** Prepares Studio for emerging server-side agentic workflows, moving deliberately as industry standards mature.

### Data Incremental Updates (planned)

Streams partial dataset updates to widgets without requiring a full data reload.

**Why:** Enables live and near-real-time dashboards without the overhead of re-fetching entire datasets on each update.

### Drill Down & Drill Through (planned)

Explore detail from a chart or grid, or jump to linked dashboards carrying filter context.

**Why:** Lets users move from summary to detail without leaving their workflow — a standard interaction in analytical products.

### Layout & Panel UX Improvements (planned)

Addresses UX debt and polish across the dashboard layout and panel experience.

**Why:** Ensures the day-to-day experience of building and navigating dashboards remains smooth as Studio matures.

### Server Side Toolkit (planned)

Provides advanced server-side helpers for developers building AG Studio integrations.

**Why:** Enables teams to integrate Studio into server-driven architectures beyond what the client-side API supports alone.
