Where is AI used in Toucan?

Toucan AI leverages artificial intelligence throughout the analytics workflow to accelerate insight generation and reduce manual effort. Here’s where you’ll find AI in action:

• Conversational Assistant: The AI assistant is available in dashboards, charts, and the main interface. You can ask questions in natural language, and the assistant will analyze your data, suggest queries, and generate visualizations.

• Chart and Dashboard Creation: When you describe what you want (“Show me sales by region last year”), the AI:

  • Analyzes your database schema and metadata.

  • Suggests the most appropriate chart type.

  • Constructs and executes queries to fetch real data.

  • Builds and displays charts or dashboards, explaining the steps and insights.

• Data Exploration: The AI can summarize available databases, tables, and columns, highlight interesting patterns, and suggest next steps for exploration.

• Semantic Enrichment: When analyzing a database, the AI generates descriptions and infers semantic types for tables and columns, improving downstream charting and dashboarding.

• Embedded Experiences: The AI assistant can be embedded in your own application, providing end users with conversational analytics and chart generation.

Under the hood:

• The AI uses a combination of large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and custom tools to interact with your data securely.

• All AI-generated charts and queries are based on real, executed data—never on guesses or sample rows.
