Agentic Capabilities
Agentic skills are specialized capabilities that extend the AI Assistant’s functionality, enabling it to perform complex analytical tasks directly from chat. Skills provide focused tools and instructions that help the assistant understand when and how to execute specific operations like creating metrics, running forecasts, detecting anomalies, or analyzing scenarios.
Experimental Feature
This is an experimental feature that is still under active development. Its behavior may change in future releases, or the feature may be removed.
Skills are automatically activated by the AI Assistant based on user queries. When you ask a question that requires a specific capability, the assistant selects and uses the appropriate skill to fulfill your request. You don’t need to explicitly choose or configure skills—they work seamlessly in the background.
Available Skills
The following agentic skills are available in the AI Assistant:
- Alert — Create and manage metric alerts with automated notifications
- Anomaly Detection — Find anomalies, outliers, and unusual patterns in your data
- Clustering — Group data points into clusters based on similarity
- Description — Generate or improve business-friendly descriptions for analytics objects
- Forecasting — Forecast future metric values based on historical data
- Key Driver Analysis — Understand why a metric changed between two time periods
- Knowledge — Search the organization’s knowledge base for documents and information
- Metric — Create MAQL metrics (measures, KPIs, calculated fields)
- Visualization — Create charts, tables, and visualizations from metrics and dimensions
- What-If Analysis — Compare projected metric values under different business assumptions
How Skills Work
Skills are activated automatically when you ask questions that match their capabilities. For example:
- Asking “Create a metric for gross margin” activates the Metric skill
- Asking “What will sales look like next quarter?” activates the Forecasting skill
- Asking “Are there any unusual patterns in revenue?” activates the Anomaly Detection skill
Each skill provides specialized tools and instructions to the AI Assistant, enabling it to perform the requested task accurately and efficiently. Skills can work independently or in combination—for example, creating a visualization often works together with other analytical skills.
