Plain English AI โ€‹

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
  • Doesn't access your actual data โ€“ย the AI only sees your data model

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 โ€‹

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:

  1. Interprets your question in the context of your data model
  2. Runs a semantic search over your entire data catalog
  3. Surfaces the most relevant existing reports or data models
  4. 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 โ€‹

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.
