Hi everyone my name is Dipankar Mazumdar and I'm a developer

advocate in the RND team here at Qlik. Today I'm going to introduce you to the

new natural language API from Qlik. Qlik Sense has always been known as a

visually compelling data analytics platform helping users to discover and derive

insights to actionable intelligence Qlik also brought in the inside advisor

and ai powered natural language processing capability enabling users to ask questions in their

own words through a chat interface by blending the power of Qlik's

associative and cognitive engine the insight advisor instantly generates

relevant answers in the form of narrative text visualization charts

and recommendations to help users with any level of expertise to maximize their potential when

deriving insights today we bring the potential of the

Insight Advisor to the hands of a developer community with the new natural language API that

allows developers to build customized chatbots using technologies like node.js
