Show MoreQlik Answers transforms unstructured data into clear, AI-powered insights. Today, I'll show you how to integrate Qlik Answers directly into your web app using the newly released Knowledgebases API and Assistants API.
In this blog, we'll build a custom Football chat assistant from scratch powered by Qlik Answers.
We’ll leverage the Assistants API to power real-time Q&A while the knowledge base is already set up in Qlik Sense.
For those of you who prefer a ready-made solution, you can quickly embed the native Qlik Answers UI using qlik-embed:
<qlik-embed ui="ai/assistant" assistant-id="<assistant-id>" ></qlik-embed>You can explore the ai/assistant parameters (and other UIs available in qlik-embed) on qlik.dev, or take a look at some of my previous blog posts here and here.
For full documentation on the Knowledgebases API and Assistants API, visit qlik.dev/apis/rest/assistants/ and qlik.dev/apis/rest/knowledgebases/.
Let’s dive in and see how you can take control of your Qlik Answers UI experience!
What Are Qlik Answers Assistants and Knowledgebases?
Before we start building our DIY solution, here’s a quick refresher:
-
Knowledgebases: Collections of individual data sources (like HTML, DOCX, TXT, PDFs) that power your Qlik Answers. (In our case, we built the KB in Qlik Sense!)
-
Assistants: The chat interface that interacts with users using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). With generative AI in the mix, Qlik Answers delivers reliable, linked answers that help drive decision-making.
DIY the Qlik Answers Experience
Step 1: Get your data ready
Since we already created our knowledge base directly in Qlik Sense, we skip the Knowledgebases API. If you’d like to build one from scratch, check out the knowledgebases API documentation.
Step 2: Configure your assistant
With your knowledge base set, you create your assistant using the Assistants API. This is where the magic happens: you can manage conversation starters, customize follow-ups, and more. Visit the assistants API docs on qlik.dev. to learn more
Step 3: Build Your Custom UI
Now, let’s look at our custom chat UI code. We'll built a simple football-themed chat interface that lets users ask questions related to the NFL. The assistant’s answers stream in seamlessly to the interface.
HTML:
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Football Assistant</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" /> </head> <body> <div class="chat-container"> <div class="chat-header"> <h4>Let's talk Football</h4> <span class="header-span">You ask, Qlik answers.</span> </div> <div class="chat-body" id="chat-body"> <div class="message assistant"> <div class="bubble"> <p>Hey there, champ! Ask me anything.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="chat-footer"> <input type="text" id="chat-input" placeholder="Type your Football related question..." /> <button id="send-btn">Send</button> </div> </div> <script src="scripts.js"></script> </body> </html>Frontend JS:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => { const chatBody = document.getElementById("chat-body"); const chatInput = document.getElementById("chat-input"); const sendButton = document.getElementById("send-btn"); // Append a user message immediately function appendUserMessage(message) { const messageDiv = document.createElement("div"); messageDiv.classList.add("message", "user"); const bubbleDiv = document.createElement("div"); bubbleDiv.classList.add("bubble"); bubbleDiv.innerHTML = `<p>${message}</p>`; messageDiv.appendChild(bubbleDiv); chatBody.appendChild(messageDiv); chatBody.scrollTop = chatBody.scrollHeight; } // Create an assistant bubble that we update with streaming text function createAssistantBubble() { const messageDiv = document.createElement("div"); messageDiv.classList.add("message", "assistant"); const bubbleDiv = document.createElement("div"); bubbleDiv.classList.add("bubble"); bubbleDiv.innerHTML = "<p></p>"; messageDiv.appendChild(bubbleDiv); chatBody.appendChild(messageDiv); chatBody.scrollTop = chatBody.scrollHeight; return bubbleDiv.querySelector("p"); } // Send the question to the backend and stream the answer function sendQuestion() { const question = chatInput.value.trim(); if (!question) return; // Append the user's message appendUserMessage(question); chatInput.value = ""; // Create an assistant bubble for the answer const assistantTextElement = createAssistantBubble(); // Open a connection to stream the answer const eventSource = new EventSource( `/stream-answers?question=${encodeURIComponent(question)}` ); eventSource.onmessage = function (event) { if (event.data === "[DONE]") { eventSource.close(); } else { assistantTextElement.innerHTML += event.data; chatBody.scrollTop = chatBody.scrollHeight; } }; eventSource.onerror = function (event) { console.error("EventSource error:", event); eventSource.close(); assistantTextElement.innerHTML += " [Error receiving stream]"; }; } sendButton.addEventListener("click", sendQuestion); chatInput.addEventListener("keydown", (event) => { if (event.key === "Enter") { event.preventDefault(); sendQuestion(); } }); });Backend node.js script:
import express from "express"; import fetch from "node-fetch"; import path from "path"; import { fileURLToPath } from "url"; // Setup __dirname for ES modules const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url); const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename); // Define port and initialize Express app const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000; const app = express(); app.use(express.static("public")); app.use(express.json()); // Serve the frontend app.get("/", (req, res) => { res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "public", "index.html")); }); // Endpoint to stream Qlik Answers output app.get("/stream-answers", async (req, res) => { const question = req.query.question; if (!question) { res.status(400).send("No question provided"); return; } // Set headers for streaming response res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "text/event-stream", "Cache-Control": "no-cache", Connection: "keep-alive", }); const assistantId = "b82ae7a9-9911-4830-a4f3-f433e88496d2"; const baseUrl = "https://sense-demo.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/assistants/"; const bearerToken = process.env["apiKey"]; try { // Create a new conversation thread const createThreadUrl = `${baseUrl}${assistantId}/threads`; const threadResponse = await fetch(createThreadUrl, { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Authorization: `Bearer ${bearerToken}`, }, body: JSON.stringify({ name: `Conversation for question: ${question}`, }), }); if (!threadResponse.ok) { const errorData = await threadResponse.text(); res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ error: errorData })}\n\n`); res.end(); return; } const threadData = await threadResponse.json(); const threadId = threadData.id; // Invoke the Qlik Answers streaming endpoint const streamUrl = `${baseUrl}${assistantId}/threads/${threadId}/actions/stream`; const invokeResponse = await fetch(streamUrl, { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Authorization: `Bearer ${bearerToken}`, }, body: JSON.stringify({ input: { prompt: question, promptType: "thread", includeText: true, }, }), }); if (!invokeResponse.ok) { const errorData = await invokeResponse.text(); res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ error: errorData })}\n\n`); res.end(); return; } // Process and stream the response text const decoder = new TextDecoder(); for await (const chunk of invokeResponse.body) { let textChunk = decoder.decode(chunk); let parts = textChunk.split(/(?<=\})(?=\{)/); for (const part of parts) { let trimmedPart = part.trim(); if (!trimmedPart) continue; try { const parsed = JSON.parse(trimmedPart); if (parsed.output && parsed.output.trim() !== "") { res.write(`data: ${parsed.output}\n\n`); } } catch (e) { if (trimmedPart && !trimmedPart.startsWith('{"sources"')) { res.write(`data: ${trimmedPart}\n\n`); } } } } res.write("data: [DONE]\n\n"); res.end(); } catch (error) { res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ error: error.message })}\n\n`); res.end(); } }); // Start the backend server app.listen(PORT, () => { console.log(`Backend running on port ${PORT}`); });Breaking It Down
Okay, that was a lot of code! Let’s break it down into bite-sized pieces so you can see exactly how our custom Qlik Answers chat interface works.
1. The HTML
Our index.html creates a custom chat UI. It sets up:
- A chat body where messages appear (initially with a friendly greeting from the assistant).
-
A chat footer with an input field and a send button for users to type their questions.
2. The Frontend JavaScript (scripts.js)
This script handles the user interaction:
-
Appending messages: When you type a question and hit send (or press Enter), your message is added to the chat window.
-
Creating chat bubbles: It creates separate message bubbles for you (the user) and the assistant.
-
Streaming the answer: It opens a connection to our backend so that as soon as the assistant’s response is ready, it streams into the assistant’s bubble. This gives you a live, real-time feel without any manual “typing” effect.
3. The Node.js Backend (index.js)
Our backend does the heavy lifting:
-
Creating a conversation thread: It uses the Assistants API to start a new thread for each question.
-
Invoking the streaming endpoint: It then sends your question to Qlik Answers and streams the response back.
-
Processing the stream: As chunks of text come in, the backend cleans them up—splitting any concatenated JSON and only sending the useful text to the frontend.
-
Closing the stream: Once the complete answer is sent, it signals the end so your chat bubble doesn’t wait indefinitely.
4. How It All Connects
When you send a question:
-
Your message is displayed immediately in your custom chat bubble.
-
The backend creates a thread and requests an answer from Qlik Answers.
-
The response is streamed back to your UI in real time, making it look like the assistant is typing out the answer as it arrives.
P.S: this is just a simple example to introduce you to the new Answers APIs and show you how to get started using them, you'll need to double check limitations and adhere to best practices when using the APIs in a production environment.

Starting November 12th, 2025, Slack will enforce changes in their APIs affecting file uploads. To accommodate these breaking changes, we have introduced new blocks in the Slack connector for Qlik Application Automation.
What blocks are affected?
- Upload File To Channel (new version)
- Send Text Based file (new version)
- Send Binary File (deprecated)
What exactly is changing for Qlik Application Automation?
The Send Binary File block will be deprecated. Instead, use the Upload File to Channel block to upload binary files. If you still want to send a base64 encoded string, use the Send Text Based File block and configure the encoding parameter to base64.
The Upload File To Channel block and Send Text Based File block need to be updated to a new version. To perform this update, replace existing blocks with new blocks by dragging the blocks from the block library.
What will I need to do to mitigate this?
Any automation using affected blocks needs to be updated.
See Breaking changes for file support in the Slack connector: new blocks introduced for steps and details.

Another ValueList Use Case
Several years ago, I blogged about how creating a synthetic dimension using ValueList allowed us to color dimensions in a chart. ValueList is commonly used where there is not a dimension in the data model to use, thus creating a synthetic one with ValueList. You can read more about ValueList in myprevious blog post.

Show MoreSeveral years ago, I blogged about how creating a synthetic dimension using ValueList allowed us to color dimensions in a chart. ValueList is commonly used where there is not a dimension in the data model to use, thus creating a synthetic one with ValueList. You can read more about ValueList in myprevious blog post. In this blog post, I am going to share how I used ValueList to handle omitted dimension values in a chart.
I recently ran into a scenario when creating visualizations based on survey data. In the survey, the participant was asked for their age as well as their age group. The ages were grouped into the following buckets:
- Under 18
- 18-24
- 25-34
- 35-44
- 45-54
- 55-69
- 70+
Once I loaded the data, I realized that there were not participants for all the age groups, so my chart looked like the bar chart below. There was a bar and value for only the age groups that the participants fit in.
While I could leave the chart like this, I wanted to show all the age group buckets in the chart so that it was evident that there were no participants (0%) in the other age group buckets. In this example, the four age groups were consecutive, so it did not look odd to leave the chart as is but imagine if there were no participants in the 45-54 age bucket. The chart may look odd with the gap between 44 and 55.
I explored various ways to handle this. One way was to add rows to the respective table for the missing age group. This worked fine but I was not a fan of adding rows to the survey table that were not related to a specific participant. The option that I settled on was using ValueList to add the omitted age groups. While this option works well, it can lead to lengthy expressions for the measures. In this example, there were only seven age group buckets so it was manageable but if you had many dimensions values then it may not be the best option.
To update the bar chart using ValueList, I changed the dimension from
To
Then I changed the measure from
To
Using ValueList in the dimension created a synthetic dimension with each age group option that was included in the survey. Now I will see all the age buckets in the chart even if there were no participants that fell in the age group bucket. Since I am using ValueList for the dimension, I need to update the measure to use it as well. This is where a single line measure can become a lengthier measure because I need to create a measure for every value in the synthetic dimension, thus the nested if statement above. The result looks like this:
There are no gaps in the age buckets, and we can see all the age bucket options that were presented in the survey. I prefer this chart over the first bar chart I shared because I have a better understanding of the survey responses presented to the participants as well as the response they provided. I would be interested in hearing how others have handled similar scenarios.
Thanks,
Jennell

Show MoreThe new Navigation Menu object in Qlik allows for a flexible and easy way to add a menu to your Qlik Sense apps. Whether you're designing an app in Qlik Sense or embedding Qlik capabilities into a web platform, you should make this new object your go-to solution for organized and stylish navigation.
In this blog post, we'll explore into the new Navigation Menu object, its features, customization options, embedding capabilities, and key considerations for getting the most out of it. For a quick overview, check out the SaaS in 60 video below:
Navigation Menu in Qlik Sense Apps
Up until now, navigation in your apps has been limited to the following options:
- Navigating through the built in Sheets tab in the assets panel
- Custom built extensions
- Or, in-app, using existing objects:
- Using buttons:
- Using the layout container in addition to buttons to create custom sidebars:
- Using buttons:
The new Navigation Menu object enhances your Qlik Sense app usability and makes it easier to achieve similar results faster tailored to your needs
Key Features:- Sheet Organization: Automatically arranges sheets and groups into a hierarchy for intuitive navigation.
- Flexible Layouts: Choose from vertical, horizontal, or drawer-style menus, adapting to your app’s design needs.
- Custom Styling: Personalize fonts (family, size, weight, and color), background images, align items, and hover and highlight effects. You can also toggle icons or resize the buttons.
- Mobile-Optimized: Enable a list view for seamless navigation on mobile devices.
- Integration-Friendly: Pair with "sheet title off" and selection bar for a minimalistic yet functional design.
You can toggle the "App Navigation bar > Navigation" or "Sheet Header" option to OFF in the UI settings and have the Navigation Menu object replace your traditional Sheets for a more minimalistic look.
👀 You can see the Navigation Menu object in action on the What’s New App:
https://explore.qlik.com/app/4911b1af-2f3c-4d8a-9fd5-1de5b04d195cNavigation Menu embedded in your Web Apps
For developers looking to incorporate Qlik analytics into their web applications, the Navigation Menu object can save time when developing a custom sheet navigation. You can easily embed the navigation menu object and customize it to meet your needs. (Learn more here)
How to Embed the Navigation Menu
Here’s a simple example of embedding a horizontal navigation menu in your web app using Nebula.js.
You can read more about Embedding and access the full documentation on qlik.dev:
const nuked = window.stardust.embed(app, { context: { theme: "light" }, types: [ { name: "sn-nav-menu", load: () => Promise.resolve(window["sn-nav-menu"]), }, ], }); nuked.render({ type: "sn-nav-menu", element: document.querySelector(".menu"), properties: { layoutOptions: { orientation: "horizontal", alignment: "top-center", }, }, });Advanced Customization
Using JSON properties, you can customize the navigation menu extensively:
- Adjust the orientation, alignment, and layout.
- Add drawer functionality for compact navigation.
- Style hover and highlight effects, font colors, and background images.
- Align menu items to the left, center, or right for a consistent look.
These capabilities make the Navigation Menu a versatile tool for developers working on embedded analytics projects.
nuked.render({ type: "sn-nav-menu", element: document.querySelector(".menu"), properties: { "layoutOptions": { "drawerMode": false, "hideDrawerIcon": false, "orientation": "horizontal", "layout": "fill", "alignment": "top-center", "separateItems": false, "dividerColor": { "color": "rgba(0,0,0,0.12)", "index": -1 }, "largeItems": false, "showItemIcons": false }, "components": [ { "key": "general" }, { "key": "theme", "content": { "fontSize": "18px", "fontStyle": { "bold": true, "italic": false, "underline": false, "normal": true }, "defaultColor": { "index": 15, "color": "#000000", "alpha": 1 }, "defaultFontColor": { "color": "#ffffff", "alpha": 1 }, "highlightColor": { "index": -1, "color": "#3ba63b", "alpha": 1 }, "highlightFontColor": { "color": "#ffffff", "alpha": 1 }, "hoverColor": { "index": -1, "color": "#ffa82e", "alpha": 1 }, "borderRadius": "20px" } } ] }, navigation: sheetObject.navigation, });Things to watch out for
While the Navigation Menu object is a fantastic addition, there are some key points to consider:
- Content Security Policy (CSP): If you use background images from external URLs, ensure their origins are added to your tenant’s CSP allowlist. This step is essential for compliance and functionality.
- Hierarchy Management: Group sheets effectively in your Qlik app to create a logical navigation structure.
- Mobile Responsiveness: Test the menu thoroughly on various devices to ensure an optimal user experience, especially when using the list view.
- Design Consistency: Align the menu’s styling with the rest of your app for a unified look and feel.
- Navigating through the built in Sheets tab in the assets panel

Each ambassador has been selected through a self-nominated application process, where they were required to answer various questions covering their motivations for becoming an ambassador, and to evidence their passion for upskilling their students in analytics over the past 12 months. This year, we are excited to select 15 ambassadors, 7 new ones and 8 returning ambassadors whose efforts continued to impress us. To thank them for their efforts, our ambassadors will receive exclusive benefits such as webinars and discussion groups with Qlik leaders, opportunities to showcase their experience with the Qlik Academic Program and the chance to grow their network with other educators across various fields and geographies.Throughout 2025 our ambassadors will continue their advocacy for the Qlik Academic Program and help us to reach even more students and educators with our free resources. Stay tuned over the coming months for more in-depth profiles on each of our ambassadors, and get to know who they are, what they teach and why they are so passionate about bridging the data literacy skills gap!
