Introducing AI-Powered Conversational Analysis

Conversational Analysis

We’re thrilled to unveil the next evolution of Grafieks: Conversational Analysis - where interacting with your data feels just like having a conversation with an AI data analyst.

What’s new:

  • Interactive Chat Interface: Ask questions, explore trends, and receive actionable insights in real-time through a chat-style conversation.
  • Smart Insights & Summaries: The AI doesn’t just respond—it analyzes your data and highlights key findings, patterns, and anomalies automatically.
  • Persistent Chat History: Every conversation is saved in a threaded menu, so you can revisit insights anytime.
  • SQL Transparency: Behind every insight, the AI generates SQL queries you can view, ensuring transparency and trust in your results.
  • Editable & Savable Reports: Transform chat insights into fully editable reports and save them to your dashboard for ongoing analysis.

Why it matters:

This feature turns data exploration into an intuitive dialogue. Teams can ask questions, follow leads, and generate actionable reports—all without leaving the chat interface. It’s the fastest, most natural way to turn curiosity into decisions.

With Conversational Analysis, your AI assistant has evolved from a report builder into a trusted, interactive analyst—ready to help you discover insights faster than ever.

From Spreadsheet to Insights in Minutes

Spreadsheets are everywhere—but turning them into insights is often harder than it should be. Picture this:

  • Customer survey results sitting in Excel
  • A CRM export in CSV format
  • A delivery report arriving as an email attachment

Traditionally, analyzing these files meant:

  • Raising tickets with data engineering
  • Setting up one-off ETL jobs
  • Wrestling with database access
  • Waiting hours (or days) to start exploring

Not anymore.

With Grafieks, you can now upload CSV or Excel files directly into the platform and analyze them instantly with our in-memory processing engine. And with AI, finding insights is faster than ever.

What’s New

  • CSV & Excel Import – Bring your datasets into Grafieks in just a few clicks.
  • In-Memory Analysis – No waiting around; process data instantly with Grafieks's high-performance engine.
  • Faster Insights – Explore, filter, and visualize imported data without external dependencies.

Why It Matters Until now, analysis in Grafieks was limited to connected data sources. With this release, you can upload flat files and still take advantage of Grafieks’s scalable in-memory technology, enabling you to:

  • Quickly analyze ad-hoc datasets.
  • Combine spreadsheet-based data with connected sources.
  • Empower business users to explore insights without IT support.

From inbox to insights—no pipelines, no waiting.

1. Receive alerts based on data conditions

You can now set up Data Alerts and get notified via email or in-app notification channel. This enhancement is designed to give you flexibility and control, making it easier to set up data alerts. Unlike other BI tool, you have two options:

i. Set up a condition without a timestamp: You can configure a condition that evaluates based on both categorical and numerical data without involving timestamps. For example, a condition might check if a product category matches a specific value (categorical) and whether the associated numerical value, such as price or quantity, exceeds a defined threshold. This allows you to set flexible conditions that work independently of time, focusing solely on the data attributes.

ii. Set up a timestamp condition: Timestamp-based conditions can be configured to evaluate only when the timestamp falls between the last run and the next run of the scheduler. For instance, this is useful in scenarios where you want to process data or trigger actions only for events or records that occurred within a specific time window, ensuring the condition is aligned with your scheduler's execution intervals.

2. New and improved Pivot table for live data connect

Experience improved performance with this enhancement—pivot tables now render faster than ever. Analyze your data seamlessly without delays.

3. Increased width of maximized report view

This enhancement provides improved visibility for widget content, especially in report widgets, ensuring clearer and more accessible insights.

3. "All" option added in the filter

The filter now includes an 'ALL' option, making it easier to view and analyze comprehensive data at once.

4. Real-Time Streaming Now Supported in KPI Charts and table

KPI charts are now available for real-time streaming, enabling dynamic tracking of key performance metrics.
