# Overview

Actian AI Analyst Explorer is the conversational interface where business users interact with AI Analysts. Ask questions in natural language and get answers as summaries, tables, and visualisations — all backed by live queries against your data warehouse.

## Getting started

When you open an AI Analyst in Explorer, the homepage shows two tabs to help you get started:

* **Get started** — AI-generated [Suggestions](https://docs.wobby.ai/ai-analysts/creating-an-agent/suggestions) organised by category, to help you discover what the agent can do
* **Saved prompts** — Your team's curated library of proven queries, ready to run in one click

You can also type your own question directly in the chat input at the bottom of the screen. Type `/` to quickly access [Saved Prompts](https://docs.wobby.ai/explorer/working-with-agents/saved-prompts) mid-conversation.
