Questions and answers about search-based analytics on Knowi

aaaa

A lot of business users have some data literacy but not the deep syntax knowledge required to analyze data themselves. With search-based analytics, your team (or customers if you embed) can explore the data by entering questions and getting back actionable data. This will eliminate the need to go to the data science team every time someone wants to explore the business metrics or statistics. 

In short, yes. And if you are employing a complex use case we recommend it. This usually involves working with the Knowi team of solution engineers to build out custom associations and synonyms for the natural language processing engine that powers your search-based analytics. 

Yes, the Knowi platform features full embedding with either iframes or javascript. It also features white-labeling so you can replace all Knowi branding with your own. With this option, you can let your clients enter queries in plain English and get back actionable data in real time.

Explainable, Auditable AI

Every AI-generated insight is source-backed and traceable, enabling teams to verify results, maintain audit trails, and trust AI-driven decisions.
