Smart Conversation Analysis is a core feature of Quick BI AIPro. It lets you describe your analysis needs in natural language, and the AI automatically queries data, performs calculations, and returns structured analysis results. This feature supports multi-turn conversations, work output, and one-click subscriptions. This topic describes how to use the conversation mode.

Prerequisites

  • You have activated and logged on to the Quick BI AIPro service.

  • You have at least the Basic Features permission for Quick BI AIPro.

  • You have at least one accessible data asset, such as a dataset, data table, or uploaded file.

Features

The main features of the conversation mode in Quick BI AIPro are as follows:

  • Natural language query: Ask questions in business language without writing SQL.

  • Structured output: Automatically generate tables, charts, and text-based conclusions.

  • Multi-turn conversation: Ask follow-up questions in the same conversation for deeper analysis.

  • Work output: Download, share, or save analyses to "My Analytics".

  • One-click subscription: Convert analysis results into scheduled push tasks.

  • Dashboard generation: Generate dashboards that support dynamic data updates, filter interactions, and drill-down analysis.

  • HTML report generation: Generate visually appealing analysis reports for complex, single-turn questions or for requests that require comprehensive analysis.

  • PPT presentation generation: Extract analysis ideas from file data to generate PPTX presentations.

Procedure

The system returns different analysis results based on the question. For more information, see Get analysis results.

This section describes only the steps for asking questions and receiving answers.

  1. In the input box, enter your analysis question in natural language. For example, "What is the month-over-month sales change for each region this month?".
