Plain English AI
One of Supersimple's most powerful capabilities is its ability to answer complex data questions asked in plain English.
Supersimple's AI is unique in that it:
- Explains its work by answering questions using our no-code steps
- Learns from how your team uses data
- Adapts to your data model and business logic
- Respects your data-access choice – your team decides whether the AI can inspect query results
The same governed semantic layer grounds work created by AI and by people, so both use the same models, relationships, metrics, and permissions.
TIP
For those who are new to Supersimple, the AI is a great way to get started with exploring data while learning about what Supersimple can do along the way.
For power users, the AI helps get a head start on particularly complex questions, and can suggest new ways to work with your data or finding the right data model.
Asking questions
On the Explore page or wherever you can add new blocks, you can type in your search term or question in plain English.
Supersimple's AI simultaneously then:
- Interprets your question in the context of your data model
- Runs a semantic search over your entire data catalog
- Surfaces the most relevant existing reports or data models
- Generates a brand-new exploration when needed
When necessary, the AI will ask you clarifying questions to make sure you get the right answer.
Building on top of the AI's work
The AI always uses your data model and a set of no-code steps to answer your question. You can read through these, just like any exploration a human put together, eliminating the risk of hidden AI hallucinations.
Since working with data is rarely about just getting a single chart or table, you can always build on top of the AI's work using either Supersimple's no-code steps or just asking more questions in plain English.
To build on top of the AI's work, you can either play around with the no-code steps it used, or just ask a follow-up question inside the same thread.
