What can and cannot AI do?

What AI can do in Toucan:

• Understand your data structure and suggest relevant tables/columns.

• Generate and execute queries to answer data questions.

• Recommend and create appropriate chart types for your data and intent.

• Build dashboards from natural language prompts.

• Summarize, explain, and provide insights on generated charts and dashboards.

• Enrich your database with semantic metadata (descriptions, field types).

• Suggest next steps and guide users through analytics workflows.

What AI cannot do:

• Generate or display images (text and data only).

• Guess or fabricate data—AI always executes real queries before answering.

• Modify existing chart configurations directly in a dashboard (manual editing is required for chart config changes).

• Perform actions on casual conversation or greetings (AI only responds to data-related prompts).

• Replace the need for manual review—AI can make mistakes, and results should be checked for accuracy.

• Bypass security or access controls—AI only works within the permissions and data you provide.
