I designed 10 natural language questions across three difficulty levels (simple, intermediate and complex), calculated the precise expected answers from the raw data first, and then fired the same questions at Qlik Answers Fast to see how it held up.

The results? 7/10 and I'm genuinely impressed.

Here's the honest breakdown:

✅ 7 Pass - exact matches across all simple and most complex questions. Total revenue, order counts, year-over-year decline, top salesperson by AOV ,all answered precisely and in under 20 seconds. Every single time. For an AI answering natural language questions against a live data model, that's a seriously strong result.

🟡 2 Partial Pass - the return rate questions identified the correct category and the correct reason, but the values differed from expected. This was entirely by design. Fast Answers mode isn't built for questions that require deep multi-hop reasoning across loosely linked tables. That's what Qlik Answers Full (the complete agentic experience) is for, and those questions would have resolved cleanly there.

🔴 1 Fail - and this one is on me, not Qlik. I deliberately left a synthetic key issue in the data model between FactMarketing and DimCampaign. Qlik correctly couldn't break down marketing ROI by channel because the table links were intentionally broken. The engine behaved exactly as it should. A good reminder that AI is only as good as the data model underneath it.


All response times were under 20 seconds, which for a tool answering complex analytical questions in plain English is outstanding.

The takeaway: Fast Answers is exactly what it says on the tin: quick, accurate, and reliable for the questions your data model is built to support. Know your model, know your mode, and the results speak for themselves.

Hi there, I am trying to download some files from a ftp site, I have made the connection but the file name/file path I am having some issues with.

The file name is 1234_YYYMMDD_CustomExport.csv
The file path is Exports/Custom Export/

So in the tFTPFileList component I have got the following contexts:
FIleMask:"*_CustomExport*.csv"
downloadFolder: "./Exports/Custom Export/archive/" (the folder on the ftp site called Custom Export does have a space inbetween.
I am unsure what I am doing incorrectly, as there is another job that I have got with the FileMask and download folder populated with no issues.  
When I run this in Talend Studio, it is saying no files found, when I look into the ftp site in Filezilla, there are files there.
Any help is gratefully received. 
Thanks

Claire

We've maintained an internal "Qlik Cloud Changes Calendar" internally at our company for a while now - capturing the various upcoming changes in Qlik Cloud that have been announced. I realised that it would be a public service to share this with the community. So I'm going to post here and try and keep it updated as I become aware of things.

A few notes:

• It's only going to cover Qlik Cloud
• It's only going to cover officially-announced changes
• It's a live, forward-looking page so it's not going to replace What's new in Qlik Cloud and once dates have passed I plan to remove the item.
• Dates are in ISO 8601 format to avoid DD-MM / MM-DD confusion!
• I tried adding it as a table (since it's in the styling menu, but it was removed, so we'll have to stick with a list 😞

I need your help to find & collate information - please comment with a link to a source when you spot anything missing.

Hopefully I can edit this indefinitely!

Our Data Works for AI campaign opens with a fictional shoe retailer blindsided by a viral demand spike. The line that sticks: "We would love to ask AI. But our data doesn't work for AI." 

That's the gap a lot of organizations live in. It’s not a lack of ambition, but a lack of trust in the data itself when it actually matters. 

If something unexpected hit your business right now, would you trust the data you'd have to act on, or would your first instinct be to go double-check it somewhere else? 

Tell us where that answer comes from. Is it the data itself, the systems it's coming from, or just years of experience?

Hi,

I'm using Qlik Sense May 2026 Patch 2. I'm trying to setup the Salesforce data connection using OAuth. (using client ID and client secret) However, when I try to authenticate, I get the following error:-

error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration

Anything that I missed? For the environment, I tried "Production" and "My domain", both give me the same error.

Hi,

In our Qlik Cloud environment, I noticed that users working with self-service capabilities in a managed space can view and edit application variables.

This only happens when the user is a member of the managed space. When the same user accesses the application through app sharing, without being a member of the space, the variables are not accessible.

I assume this behavior is related to the permissions assigned through the space role.

Which managed-space permission allows users to view or edit variables, and how can I prevent this while still allowing them to use self-service features?

Thx

You may have seen Qlik's new Data Works for AI story, featuring a fictional shoe retailer caught off guard by a viral demand spike, told through the people who lived through it: the one who built the data foundation, the one who scaled the insight, and the one who had to act before the window closed. 

Over the next few weeks we're opening a discussion thread for each of those moments. We want to hear from our Community members: 

• Do you trust the data you'd have to act on? 

• Are you still building the same thing over and over, or have you gotten ahead of it? 

• Did you make the window when it mattered, or watch it close? 

Join the conversation wherever it resonates.  

And we’re excited to give away some of our own in-demand sneakers: earn your very own pair of Qlik kicks!  

Each discussion thread has its own sneaker winner: three discussion threads, three pairs of shoes, three chances to win. For every comment on each thread, you’ll be entered to win an exclusive pair of Qlik kicks. We will do a random drawing at the end of each week.
