Insight Advisor is your intelligent assistant in Qlik Sense, providing AI-generated analyses and insights that are delivered in multiple forms through a variety of user experiences. It auto-generates context-aware analyses and insights based on your data and search criteria. It automates the creation and data preparation process, supports natural language interaction, and delivers advanced analytics for users to explore.
In recent releases, we have delivered several new updates that make Insight Advisor even more powerful - centered on our user experience, insight generation, and customization. This month, we introduced a refined in-app discovery experience, allowing users to more easily auto-generate the most relevant analyses and insights from their data. A new UI button opens the "Discovery" pane, where users can select fields and generate insights without having to navigate away from the current sheet. And a new "Ask Insight Advisor" search box is now visible at all times within dashboards, allowing people to generate insights using natural language processing. Visualizations and analyses can be refined and directly added directly to dashboards, for further exploration.
In addition to this new experience, we have also introduced several new types of advanced analyses, auto-generated by Insight Advisor. This started with K-means clustering, which groups similar data points together based on similarity in scatter plots. We then added correlation charts, process control charts, key drivers and more. Recently, we introduced a new period-over-period analysis type, which generates a comparison of time periods showing the relative progression between them. Time periods are based on defined calendar periods and can be further refined by the user in the Insight Advisor properties panel.
Finally, we have added a number of new customization capabilities, starting with a new business logic layer that provides the ability to create business rules and metadata to guide the behavior of Insight Advisor when generating insights and processing natural language.
Most recently, we've added the ability to define custom analysis types tied to specific natural language questions - for example, you could specify a period-over-period analysis returned for the question "how's my business doing"?
With all these improvements, we are consistently raising the bar on the overall functionality and value of AI in Qlik Sense. And stay tuned, because we'll continue to add new augmented analytics capabilities as we drive towards our vision for Active Intelligence.
