Actian AI Analyst Explorer

How business users interact with AI Analysts to get answers from their data.

Actian AI Analyst Explorer is the interface where business teams get answers from their data. Ask questions in plain language, explore results, and re-run proven queries — no SQL or data knowledge required.

Explorer is the counterpart to Studio: Studio is where data teams build and configure AI Analysts; Explorer is where everyone else uses them.

Access

Actian AI Analyst uses two roles to separate configuration from daily use:

• Admin — full access to both Studio and Explorer. For data teams who build and test AI Analysts.

• User — access to Explorer only. For business users who interact with configured AI Analysts.

Mobile

Explorer is fully supported on mobile devices — query your data and view results from anywhere. Studio is desktop-only due to its complex configuration interface.
