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.

Accelerate your data analytics projects by 10x

By connecting directly to any data, anywhere, we help you shave weeks, some times months, off analytics projects by eliminating the need to move, load and transform your data.

Travel the Last Mile to Data-Driven Decisions

To be a data-driven organization, your team needs open access to analytics. Your data scientists, data engineers, and non-technical decision makers all need to be able to ask questions and get back real data-driven answers. Historically, it has been difficult for non-technical users to get even basic analytics information about how their company is doing. Company decision makes often dont have time to learn a complex business intelligence tool. That’s where natural language processing (NLP) can make a huge difference.

With NLP-based querying, top level decision makers, subject matter experts (SMEs) and anyone else who needs can run analytics queries. Self-service business intelligence combines AI analytics and NLP to remove the barriers to accessing analytics which significantly increases the potential of your data.

Faster Time to Insights

Data engineers build and deploy analytics in no time across one or multiple sources. They can make changes in minutes, not weeks, so your data scientists and data analysts can test theories and make adjustments quickly. Get your data analysis in the hands of everyone on day one. Let users interact with analytics how and where they want.

Powerful Ad-Hoc Analytics

You can start with simple questions and explore the data in real time. You can ask questions in natural human language to slice and dice data any way you like. Create new data visualizations on the fly and build customized dashboards and reports.

Big Data Scale

Whether your data is big or small, whether you have structured data or unstructured data, we can handle it. You can query terabytes of data and get answers in seconds. With Knowi, no data moves into our platform for processing. We leverage the processing power of your databases. Where it makes sense, you can enable an optional on-the-fly virtual data warehouse to power end-user queries and data visualizations.

Data Governance and Security

Everyone in your organization must be able to trust the insights your data provide. With Knowi, we eliminate the need to replicate or move data which significantly increases data fidelity throughout your workflows by removing the guesswork over what version of what data to use. Data owners define access permissions so data is automatically filtered and people only see the data they care about and are authorized to view.

Think of it like Google. When you're looking for a dentist, you might ask: "what are some dentists near San Francisco?" Google knows what you're asking even though it has to convert that into a computer-language query. In Knowi, we do just that, but instead of showing dentists, we surface your data to respond to your queries in plain English. This can be done in three places, directly on a widget, within all widgets in a dashboard, and across all data in your account. However, the user will only be able to query data associated with their security permissions.
We talked about this quite a bit already on this page but, to us, it's simple: data access should be for everyone, not just those fluent in SQL. The more users we empower with NLP, the more useful and meaningful rich datasets become.
Not yet, but soon. It's on our roadmap! You can, however, embed the NLP search bar into your application or website.
Yes, as long as you can pull in the data. In most cases you can do this easily via a REST API; then you can process it with our NLP BI.
Not quite out of the box just yet. But you can use our REST API to connect to a service that does Sentiment Analysis, such as AYLIEN or AWS Comprehend Sentiment. Here's an example running sentiment analysis on Knowi with AYLIEN
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Dunno. We don't use Power BI. But we've been told that Power BI's NLP can only search across datasets in the dashboard. Knowi's NLP can search across all data in the account that the user has access to (based on their security permissions). If you have thoughts on this feel free to send us an email. We'd love to hear how you think we compare 🙂
Thanks for asking! We were hoping to nerd out. Computational linguistics is a scientific field focused around building statistical and rule-based models of language. The field has countless powerful use-cases and applications in search engines, social media, and artificial intelligence. NLP is one such application of computational linguistics.
