Reduce recurring ad-hoc requests
Support self-service for questions that fit trusted data definitions.
Conversational Analytics Agent
Ask business questions of governed data, in plain language.
Let authorised users explore metrics and trends conversationally using shared KPI definitions and controlled data access. The agent helps formulate queries and explanations while allowing users to verify the underlying figures and filters in their existing analytical environment.
Potential business benefits
Make insights easier to access
Answer suitable questions without requiring every user to write a query.
Keep metrics consistent
Use shared business definitions and current permissions.
Illustrative impact - example only
Reduce recurring ad-hoc requests
- Ad-hoc requests to analysts per month
- 500
- Requests answerable through governed self-service
- 40%
Illustrative calculation 500 x 40% = 200
In this hypothetical month, 200 requests could shift to self-service. Eligibility and answer correctness require validation.
Illustrative scenario, not a measured client result or guarantee. Actual outcomes depend on scope, data, controls and adoption.
What we would measure
Make insights easier to access
- Answer latency
- Query validation failures
- Share of answers reviewed by users
