Finding specific data points, critical updates, or summaries for your next presentation becomes a lot easier. It even extends to predictive forecasting, key driver analysis, and trend analysis.
2. Auto Dashboard
   Auto Dashboard serves as your AI collaborator for designing deeper dashboards more quickly through AI automation. It proactively suggests questions based on the current dashboard and uses autocomplete to identify relevant objects, simplifying the query process. With natural language capabilities, it can transform your questions into insightful data points, summaries, or visualizations, including predictive forecasting and key driver analysis.
3. Auto SQL
   Tailored for architects, Auto SQL streamlines the database interaction process. It translates natural language into efficient SQL queries, enables table creation and joins, and explains the logic behind generated SQL statements in understandable terms. It makes database interaction accessible for all, regardless of your technical proficiency.

With MicroStrategy AI, we're providing that critical capability. Our new suite of features lets businesses effortlessly integrate state-of-the-art AI functionalities into their existing workflows.
