--- title: "AI-enabled Analytics" canonical: "https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2197468/AI-enabled%20Analytics" format: markdown --- ## Overview Yellowfin can leverage the power of external AI models to make querying and analysing data simpler and more powerful. The use of these technologies is entirely optional and when enabled, you can control who gets access, and what data the features are enabled on. Customers need to have their own account with one of our supported model providers, and thus are responsible for any costs associated with the usage of the model. Granular reporting is provided via the Administration console so that Administrators can closely monitor the token usage of models, for both audit purposes and for managing costs. ## Current AI-enabled Features Yellowfin currently supports the following AI-enabled features: **Build Report ** This feature was previously known as Build Report (AI NLQ) or Natural Language Query (NLQ). The Build Report tool allows you to type any relevant text in the form of a question. An AI engine is used to interpret that question, and convert it to a Yellowfin report. You can read more about Build Report (AI NLQ) [here](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2197531/Natural+Language+Query+-+Guided+and+AI-Enabled). **Tell Me About My Data** This is a form of **AI-enabled Assisted Insights.** This feature uses AI-technology to analyse your data, and provide relevant insights in the form of easy to understand explanations, and a range of Charts to aid in understanding. The feature can be enabled from various places including Dashboards, Reports, the Report Builder and Stories. You can read more about that feature[ here.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205477/Tell+Me+About+My+Data) **Create Story** This feature was introduced in 9.18. Create Story enables a user to prompt an AI Agent (orchestrated by Yellowfin) to analyse a data set and create a comprehensive analysis of that data in the form of a Story. The Create Story agent can request new reports and charts from Yellowfin, will analyse the data in those reports, and can even automatically ask follow up questions. For example, a user could issue the following prompt “Analyse my sales data for last month and identify key areas of over and under performance”. This feature sends actual data to the AI model and care needs to be taken to ensure compliance with your organisation's data security policies.  You can read more about this feature [here.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/251625640/Create+Story+(AI)) **Follow-up Questions** This feature was introduced in 9.18. Users can trigger this feature from any enabled report or chart. This launches the Conversational Analytics popup, with the context of the report or chart preloaded - including any filters that were applied. The user can then ask one or more questions about that data. An AI Agent is triggered that will attempt to answer the users question. As with Create Story, the agent can request any additional data it needs to answer the question. The user's security profile is applied at all times.  You can read more about this feature [here.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2203190/Available+Security+Functions) The following sections describe how to select an AI model, how to setup and monitor the connection, and the available AI features. - Learn how to [choose](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2228893/Selecting+an+AI+Model) the right AI model for your needs. - Follow the steps to [connect](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205287/Connecting+to+an+AI+Model) to an AI model. - Explore how to [use](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205428/AI+Model+Usage) your AI model effectively. - Read about how we protect your data and ensure [AI security.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205467/AI+Security) - Explore the [Conversational Analytics](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/251625480/Conversational+Analytics) interface. - Learn how to use the [Build Report](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2197531/Natural+Language+Query+-+Guided+and+AI-Enabled) feature to query data using Natural Language. - Find out what ["Tell Me About My Data"](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205477/Tell+Me+About+My+Data) can do. - Learn how to [access](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205454/Accessing+Tell+Me+About+My+Data) "Tell Me About My Data". - Explore how to [create AI generated Stories](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/251625640/Create+Story+(AI)). - Learn how to [Ask Questions About Your Data.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/251625935/Follow-up+Questions+(AI)) - Get guidance on [saving and editing your insights.](https://wiki.yellowfinbi.com/space/yfcurrent/2205665/Saving+and+editing+your+Insights)
