You can access the ASK BOSCO AI Analyst from the Reporting Menu and from the visualizations in any Dashboard. We'll show you more about visualizations in Dashboards in a future [Article](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-dashboard-visualizations-and-ask-bosco-ai-analyst?hsLang=en), so for now let's start by accessing the AI Analyst from the Reporting Menu. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-26-08-9861-AM.png?width=670&height=320&name=image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-26-08-9861-AM.png)   --- ### Choosing data sources Before using ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst you will want to ensure the correct data source is selected. The data source is shown above the search bar. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-31-31-8260-AM.png?width=670&height=314&name=image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-31-31-8260-AM.png) By Clicking on this, you are presented with all the data sets available. Select the data set you would like to work with from the select data source dialogue box. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-34-28-3919-AM.png?width=670&height=315&name=image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-34-28-3919-AM.png) You can also see a description of each data set when you click on it. Note that only data sources with the ASK BOSCO® icon ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-35-23-1927-AM.png?width=48&height=43&name=image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-35-23-1927-AM.png) next to them, are ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst enabled. ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst has returned an answer that only contains the data relevant to the question. If you want to understand the overall data in the data source you can use the Preview data option to look at a sample of the columns of data available. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-38-22-7837-AM.png?width=670&height=319&name=image-png-Jun-21-2025-08-38-22-7837-AM.png) This can help guide you on any follow up questions you may wish to ask. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-21-55-4214-AM.png?width=670&height=327&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-21-55-4214-AM.png) Note that if you continue asking questions in the same thread ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst treats each question as a follow up to the previous. [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Starting a conversation To start a conversation all we need to do is submit a question or request in the search bar. Let's ask what were the best performing Channels last month? Then we can press the enter or return key or click the send button. It generates an answer to our question immediately. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-08-18-7494-AM.png?width=670&height=323&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-08-18-7494-AM.png) Note that, in this example, although “best performing” is a somewhat ambiguous statement, ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst interprets this to refer to top revenue drivers and their relative Conversion Rate and ROAS and sorts by Revenue from highest to lowest.  [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Understand how ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst reached an answer ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst translated the question into keyword-based search tokens, allowing you to easily verify the generated answer. You can hover over search tokens to learn more about each. In this example we can hover over the last month date token to see a brief explanation of the filter and its values. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-09-15-33-6884-AM.png?width=670&height=352&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-09-15-33-6884-AM.png) We can hover over the attribute token Channel to see a description and sample values of it. If we click on more details from the attribute pane, we can see column statistics, such as how many unique values exist, data type and source. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-09-27-19-0319-AM.png?width=670&height=351&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-09-27-19-0319-AM.png) The search tokens and the details that appear, on hover, gives us full transparency into the query, including the attributes, measures, formulas and filters used to construct the answer. You can toggle the display between chart and table easily by clicking the chart icon. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-14-07-0907-AM.png?width=670&height=323&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-14-07-0907-AM.png) [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Continuing the conversation You can go on to ask follow up questions that drill down, or expand, on the answer that has been provided. Here asking "What was the Revenue by day last month?" provides that data in a new table. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-34-29-2303-AM.png?width=670&height=325&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-34-29-2303-AM.png) [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Using the data and insights The charts and tables are interactive so you can drill down (by right clicking on a data point) and find additional insights from your data. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-37-36-8440-AM.png?width=670&height=325&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-37-36-8440-AM.png) Once you've uncovered useful insights you have several options for using an answer beyond the ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst conversation. To pin an answer to a dashboard, click the pin button then select the dashboard you want it to go on. If you want to share your answer outside of ASK BOSCO®, like in a presentation or a spreadsheet, you can download the answer as a PNG, XLSX or CSV file. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-40-05-2588-AM.png?width=670&height=340&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-40-05-2588-AM.png) [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Resetting ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst As discussed ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst maintains the context of your questions, such that each question asked is a follow up to the previous. If you want to ask a brand new question, simply click reset and begin your new conversation. ![](https://info.askbosco.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-41-48-9334-AM.png?width=670&height=326&name=image-png-Jun-20-2025-08-41-48-9334-AM.png) [Back to top](https://info.askbosco.io/knowledge/article-using-ask-bosco-ai-analyst#Top) --- ### Now it's your turn to give ASK BOSCO® AI Analyst a go!
