Now everyone can put data to work

Meet the new Data agent in ChatGPT Work: turn your company’s data into answers, interactive dashboards, and action, just by asking.

People across every business have questions that data can answer. Why did sales slow down? Where is spending rising? Which issues threaten renewals in our largest accounts, and what should we fix first? Getting those answers often means waiting for a report or asking someone else to run the analysis.

We’re introducing a new Data agent in ChatGPT Work⁠(opens in a new window) to help more people answer those questions themselves. It connects to your company data, investigates what changed, and builds interactive dashboards you can share. Direct and refine the analysis in one conversation, without writing queries or learning a new analytics tool.

Connect to the company data and context your business trusts

The Data agent connects to approved data sources including Amazon Redshift, Datadog, Google BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, MongoDB, Snowflake, and more. It can also bring files and documents from Google Drive and SharePoint into the analysis.

It uses your organization’s business terms, metric definitions, custom calculations, and data relationships to interpret the data. This context comes from semantic layers and trusted sources such as Databricks Genie Ontology, dbt, GitHub, Snowflake Horizon, and BI dashboards.

Enterprise administrators choose which data connections are available and which roles can use them. Queries enforce the connected account’s existing permissions, including table, row, and column restrictions.

Turn questions into analysis and action

Ask follow-up questions to investigate the results and review the evidence behind each finding.

Turn the analysis into an interactive dashboard with built-in visualizations. Your team can edit, share, and refresh it as needed. Share your brand guidelines to tailor outputs to your organization’s look and feel.

The Data agent can also build and interact with dashboards in Omni, Oracle BI, Power BI, Sigma, Tableau, and ThoughtSpot. Direct the work in plain language in the tools your team already uses.

BI tools

> “ Connecting Tableau with ChatGPT Work brings trusted business semantics into a place employees already work, so the answers they get are grounded in the same data model their teams rely on. Users can easily transform insights into action by asking questions, exploring evidence, and publishing new views directly to Tableau using built-in design and analytics best practices.”

—Southard Jones, EVP & Chief Product Officer, Tableau

> “ Power BI helps people make better decisions with a trusted semantic layer used by hundreds of thousands of enterprises. With the Data agent in ChatGPT Work, users have a new option to create Power BI dashboards by simply describing their business questions, making it easier for more people to understand their data and act on it.”

—Bogdan Crivat, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Fabric

> “ Our customers use Sigma for revenue forecasts and operational planning because the metrics, workbooks, and analysis behind them are governed and shared. Bringing that into ChatGPT Work means the fastest place to ask a question is now also the place where answers are grounded in semantics.”

— Hassen Karaa⁠(opens in a new window), SVP of Product, Sigma

> “ Analytics should work where your teams work. With the Data agent in ChatGPT Work, teams can build ThoughtSpot AI analytics in minutes using natural language. Business users get governed answers based on definitions they already trust, while developers ship working embedded analytics apps from a single prompt.”
