Introducing Discovery Agent

Spot important changes in your data and take action 

Organizations today rely heavily on dashboards. But dashboards only work when someone goes looking. 

In reality, business data changes constantly. Metrics shift, patterns evolve, and important signals often hide within complex combinations of dimensions. Teams simply don’t have time to check every chart every day. In many cases by the time someone notices an issue, the window to act may already be closing. 

Traditional alerting doesn’t solve the problem either. Rules-based alerts rely on rigid thresholds, predefined logic, and ongoing maintenance. They only detect the changes you expect to see. 

But what about the changes you didn’t know to look for? 

That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Discovery Agent. 

 

Move from reactive monitoring to proactive insight 

Discovery Agent autonomously monitors your data to identify meaningful changes the moment they happen. 

Instead of relying on manual dashboard checks or rigid alert rules, Discovery Agent works behind the scenes to scan your Qlik Cloud applications and surface the insights that matter most. 

It automatically detects signals such as: 

  • Spikes and sudden drops 
  • Meaningful trend shifts 
  • Record highs or lows 
  • Changes in baseline behavior 
  • Forecast divergence 
  • Potential data quality issues

Rather than flooding users with alerts, Discovery Agent evaluates statistical significance and prioritizes only the most meaningful insights.  And with direct linking to Qlik Answers, you can use AI to explore insights further. 

The result: teams see what matters first and can respond faster. 

 

A new way to stay on top of your business 

Discovery Agent transforms how organizations monitor performance.

Discovery Agent pushes prioritized insights directly to users through an intelligent feed and digest. 

Each detected change is summarized in clear, readable language so users can quickly understand: 

  • What changed 
  • Where it happened 
  • Why it matters 

This dramatically reduces the time analysts spend manually checking metrics and helps organizations stay ahead of emerging issues and opportunities.

The demo shows how Discovery Agent automatically detects anomalies, surfaces the most relevant insights, and enables users to immediately explore further inside Qlik apps. 

 

Built on the power of the Qlik Analytics Engine 

Discovery Agent is uniquely powerful because it is built directly on the Qlik Analytics Engine, the technology at the heart of Qlik that powers our analytics experience.

The engine allows Discovery Agent to analyze metrics and spot anomalies across wide combinations of dimension values, for entire data models, at high speed and scale, and at a fraction of the cost of SQL-based approaches. The engine evaluates relationships across the full dataset and supports rapid analytical calculations at scale, enabling powerful AI-driven discovery on complex business data. 

With the Qlik analytics engine, Discovery Agent can: 

  • Analyze complex dimensional combinations quickly 
  • Detect patterns traditional analytics miss 
  • Scale efficiently across large data models 
  • Deliver insights without impacting app performance 

This approach makes autonomous monitoring possible even for large enterprise environments. 

 

From anomaly detection to agentic intelligence 

Discovery Agent is an important part of Qlik’s agentic experience. 

Within Qlik’s evolving agentic AI architecture, specialized agents collaborate to transform data into action. Discovery Agent plays a key role by monitoring data and surfacing insights that other agents can reason and act on. 

Over time, we plan to further integrate Discovery Agent into our agentic system so you can: 

  • Interact with Discovery Agent through Qlik Answers 
  • Use insights to trigger automation workflows 
  • Deliver insights through email and third-party integrations 
  • Participate in broader multi-agent analytics processes 

This moves organizations beyond traditional analytics toward a proactive, intelligent agentic environment where AI helps monitor and interpret data continuously. 

 

Get started now 

Discovery Agent is now available in Qlik Cloud Analytics, bringing proactive, AI-driven monitoring directly into your analytics workflows.  Try it out now.
