Tips for best results
Be specific with time ranges
Instead of "recently," say "in the last 30 days" or "this quarter." Specific dates produce more accurate results.
Name your dimensions
Say "by region" or "grouped by sales rep" to get the breakdowns you need. The AI works best with explicit grouping.
Ask for the format you want
Request "as a bar chart," "in a table," or "as a percentage" to get results in the format that is most useful to you.
Use follow-up questions
After your first answer, drill deeper with "Why?" or "Break this down further." The AI remembers context.
