Asking Questions
Athenic is a conversational AI allowing you to chat or ask questions on your data.
After you have connected your data source(s) and created your first AI Analyst, you can begin asking questions.
Open your AI Analyst under "AI Analyst" in the Home page or create a new one by clicking "New AI Analyst".

Click into the "Question Bar" to begin typing your question. You may see "Suggested Questions" that you can ask by simply clicking on the question.

If you are not sure what data is available, click "View Data" tab in the left side-menu navigation to see an overview of the tables and columns configured in that Dataset. If you need to adjust what data is available in that AI Analyst, click "Edit data" and see Creating Datasets and Data Preparation.

Once you have pressed Enter key or the Arrow button ↑ to ask the question, you will notice that several things begin happening as the query is run.
Athenic AI will assess the quality of your question and may offer Tips to improve the accuracy and precision of your question. For more information about the Tips, see "Question Tips".
Athenic AI will explain how the data is pulled and what calculations are made in getting your answer. You can also click into see the SQL code by clicked "<> SQL" in the toggle to edit and view the generated SQL query.
