What is Generative BI? - Pyramid Analytics
Generative BI, as explained by Pyramid Analytics, integrates Generative AI with analytics to provide business users an intuitive, conversational interface for creating, exploring, and sharing detailed reports and dashboards without a learning curve, while enabling data professionals to securely leverage existing data sources and sophisticated AI-driven analysis without exposing sensitive data.
Generative BI brings together the power of GenAI and analytics to enable an on-demand, super-fast analytics experience with no learning curve—all through simple conversation.
What do business users need to know?
Click and talk
Click a button and ask for what you need. For example:
- Build me a dashboard showing…
- Create a report of…
- Compare…
- Analyze…
Continue the conversation
It’s a session, not isolated requests, so users can explore the results by giving further instructions. For example:
- Filter
- Sort
- Add or remove certain dimensions
- Drill down into the underlying data
- Change the visualization
Asking why
GenBI's power goes beyond just handling data. The goal is insights. After creating a report or dashboard, you can ask for an explanation, a forecast, or further insights.
Sharing insights
Need a pixel-perfect report? With GenBI, you can quickly create a designed PDF, Word, PowerPoint slide, or a PNG image file of your report.
What do data professionals need to know?
GenAI directly to your data
You don’t need to change your corporate data strategy to leverage Generative AI. Pyramid allows you to use your existing data investments by directly connecting to any data source (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, SAP).
Security
Regardless of what users ask, sensitive data leaks are not allowed. Pyramid doesn’t pass actual data to any LLMs. Instead, it passes information that helps the LLM understand your data context, like schemas and semantic models.
Sophisticated answers to complex questions
You need a real-world, conversational analytical companion to solve complicated business problems. Pyramid handles complex analytical questions and scenarios that a user can deliver through speech. From data prep to publishing, users can ask questions, perform complex analysis, and create multi-layered content, dramatically speeding up the time to decisions.
Not all LLMs are created equal
Specialized knowledge is needed to handle business problems intelligently for different use cases. The same applies to large language models (LLMs). Pyramid delivers a framework for a “Multi-LLM” strategy, allowing customers to match the right LLM to the right task. From generalized to verticalized LLMs, and from public or private to custom-built LLMs, Pyramid is catering for the Gen-AI of today and tomorrow.
Talk to your data from anywhere
Embedded Pyramid content delivers a collection of deep AI capabilities directly and seamlessly in your own apps, letting your users access AI-driven conversational analytics in context—unleashing powerful tools with practically no development.
