Oracle Analytics AI Assistant
Science & Technology
Introduction
In today's fast-paced business environment, using data analytics effectively can significantly enhance decision-making. The Oracle Analytics AI Assistant allows content authors to create dynamic visualizations seamlessly through real-time conversations with their datasets. This article explores how to employ the Oracle Analytics AI Assistant to build comprehensive workbooks tailored for sales teams.
To get started, open the sales analysis workbook in Oracle Analytics. By clicking on the 'Edit' option and selecting 'Auto Insights,' you’ll access a panel that showcases two tabs: 'Insights' and 'Assistant.' Clicking on the Assistant tab initiates a dialogue with the AI.
To explore the connections between sales and costs based on city, type your question directly into the text field. For example, you can ask, "Is there a relationship between sales and cost based on cities?" The assistant suggests questions as you type, making it user-friendly. After you press enter, Oracle Analytics will generate insightful findings that delve deeper than the mere numerical data presented in the visualizations.
You can further enhance your workbook by adding these visualizations directly to the canvas. Simply click 'Add' or the plus sign, or drag and drop the generated visual representation to your preferred location. For instance, you might want to place the map visualization in the corner of your canvas.
Continuing the conversation with the assistant is straightforward. You can filter your data by entering commands such as "Keep only New York City and Chicago." As you refine your filters, contextual insights appear above your visual representation, facilitating a clearer understanding of your data.
If you wish to include insights from an additional city, simply input "Add Paris," and you'll see the updated data reflected in the visualization. The assistant is designed with various modifiers that allow easy adjustments, such as adding or removing columns, modifying filters, or changing chart types. For instance, if you want to change the chart type to a bar chart, type "Change chart type to Bar," and the assistant will update the visualization accordingly.
Moreover, you can add columns from your dataset to the visualization. Click on 'Add,' select 'Add Field,' and choose ‘Customer Segment’ to see this data reflected in your bar chart. If this visualization is something you'd like to monitor continuously, you can create a watch list. Click 'Add to Watch List,' then select 'New Watch List,' name it (e.g., "Finance Metrics"), and click 'Add.' This makes accessing your key visualizations from your homepage a breeze.
For more granular insights, you can pose further questions, like "When the price is above $ 100, what is the average cost?" Upon pressing enter, a tile visualization displaying the answer appears. To enhance your understanding of shipping costs, enter "Add Priority and Product Type," and a bar chart will show you these costs in relation to different categories, highlighting essential findings, like how furniture shipping is often more expensive, independent of shipping priority.
After gathering meaningful insights, you can drag any relevant charts to your canvas. Remember to save your work frequently. Engaging with the Oracle Analytics AI Assistant not only simplifies data exploration but also enriches your workbook with valuable insights.
