Tableau & TextQL: Augmenting Your Dashboards with Generative AI

Table of Contents

For years, we've heard the same question: "Are you building another BI tool?" Today, we're excited to put those questions to rest with our Tableau integration release for Ana. We're not here to replace your BI tools – we're here to make them smarter.

Tableau Integration

Bridging the Gap Between Visualization and Understanding

Business intelligence tools like Tableau excel at creating powerful visualizations, but they often leave users with follow-up questions that require technical expertise to answer. That's where Ana comes in.

What's New: TextQL + Tableau Integration

Our integration brings together the best of both worlds:

  • Tableau's industry-leading visualization capabilities
  • Ana's natural language data analysis expertise

The result? A seamless experience where your dashboards become interactive conversation partners.

Key Features

🔍 Visual Context Understanding

Ana doesn't just see the data – she understands your visualizations. When you ask a question about a dashboard, Ana knows:

  • What each visualization represents
  • How different charts relate to each other
  • The underlying data relationships

💡 Intelligent Follow-ups

Ask natural follow-up questions like:

  • "What's driving this trend?"
  • "How does this compare to last quarter?"
  • "Break this down by region"

Ana will navigate your data model, find relevant visualizations, and provide contextual insights.

🔄 Seamless Data Flow

  • Connect different data sources effortlessly
  • Build semantic models automatically
  • Enable natural language querying across your unified data stack

Watch It in Action
