Mission Briefing

Welcome to Q Division Headquarters, Operative.

Behind these doors lies the future of AI-powered analytics. Qlik Answers isn't just another tool—it's your answer intelligence platform that lets anyone ask natural language questions of their unstructured data, their structured data, or both working together in perfect coordination.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Master the Q Division agent swarm architecture, earn your Field Operative certification, and deploy answer intelligence across your organization.

Inside, you'll meet our specialist agents, complete hands-on training exercises, watch live mission playbacks, and prove your tactical intelligence through the Agent Recognition Protocol.

By the time you exit these doors, you won't just understand Qlik Answers—you'll be ready to implement your (or guide others through) first deployments with confidence.

The briefing room awaits. Enter when ready, Operative.

Agent Roster

Q Division operates on what the intelligence community calls a "swarm architecture" – the industry gold standard for AI agent collaboration. Instead of relying on a single agent to handle every mission, we've assembled a specialized team where each agent excels at their specific domain. When you ask a question, our system intelligently identifies which agents have the expertise needed and orchestrates a precision handoff sequence to deliver the most accurate answer.

Think of it like a real intelligence agency: you wouldn't send the same operative to handle cryptography, field reconnaissance, AND financial analysis – you'd send specialists who work together, each completing their part of the mission before passing critical intelligence to the next agent. That's exactly what Qlik Answers does, ensuring you get enterprise-grade accuracy through expert collaboration. Meet the agents who'll be working your missions:

Field Training Exercises

Welcome to active duty, Operative. In this section, you'll receive the same intelligence assets that Q Division uses in live operations: a fully configured Qlik Answers application, pre-loaded knowledge bases, and the Answer Assistant framework that orchestrates our agent swarm. This isn't a simulation – these are production-grade materials that you'll download, deploy, and interrogate with real questions. You'll see firsthand how questions flow through the agent network, learn to craft queries that leverage each agent's expertise, and build the muscle memory needed to guide others through their first Qlik Answers deployment. By the end of these exercises, you won't just understand the theory – you'll have hands-on experience running actual missions.

Unstructured Data

🎯 Q Division Field Training: Module 1 - Agent Information Intelligence - Buidling your first Knowledge Base and Assistant

🎯 Q Division Field Training: Module 2 - Application Documentation - Building another Knowledge Base and enhancing your Assistant wit the additional knowledge.

🎯 Q Division Field Training: Module 3 - Expense Statements - Building an enterprise grade Knowledge Base with Advanced Chunking and enhancing your Assistant with the additional knowledge

Structured Data

🎯 Q Division Field Training: Module 100 - Uploading Q Division Operations Application - Asking Answers

Unstructured + Structured

🎯 Q Division Field Training: Module 200 - Dashboard Inconsistency - Asking Questions of Unstructured and Structured Data in your Assistant

Mission Playback

Field Operative, it's time to see the agents in action. In this section, you'll watch live mission recordings where real questions trigger the full agent swarm workflow. On one side of your screen, you'll see the complete Qlik Answers solution being constructed in real-time. On the other, you'll see which Answer Agent is currently on mission – giving you a visual understanding of who does what, when they're called into action, and how they hand off intelligence to the next specialist in the sequence. Here's where it gets powerful: since you already have the same materials from Field Training, you can run these exact same questions in your own Qlik Answers environment and watch your agents work the mission alongside mine. These aren't just recordings to watch passively – they're your playbook for getting comfortable with the agent workflow before you guide others through it.

Mission Playback - Review 1 - Counter Terrorism	In this Q Division mission playback, an auditor spots a suspicious English-Russian dictionary expense on case 1006—a Swedish healthcare analytics mission that had nothing to do with Russian operations. Using Qlik Answers, the auditor conducts a comprehensive counter-terrorism review that reveals Agent 099 (Alec Trevelyan) purchased suspicious items including the dictionary from an oddly-named bookstore, multiple alcoholic beverages at "Cafe Pushkin" (named after a famous Russian poet), and celebrated with expensive champagne before the case was even closed. It's a masterclass in how conversational analytics can connect the dots between structured databases and unstructured documents to surface anomalies that traditional reporting would miss.

Agent Recognition Protocol

Final assessment, Field Operative. Before you earn your Clearance Level certification, you need to prove you can recognize which agents handle which intelligence requests. We'll present you with real-world questions – the kind partners and customers will actually ask – and you'll identify which Answer Agent(s) will be deployed on the mission. This isn't about memorizing definitions; it's about developing the tactical instinct to know instantly: "That's a Data Agent question," or "This one needs both Knowledge and Visualization working together." Pass the Agent Recognition Protocol, and you'll have earned more than a certification – you'll have the operational confidence to guide anyone through their first Qlik Answers deployment

Hi Dalton, the link to the second module doesn't work, gives 'An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url'. The reason is that the url ends with %20. Without that part the link works. Great work by the way! Thanks so much
