Generative BI (GenBI)
Generative BI (GenBI) is business intelligence where AI generates the analytical artifacts themselves—SQL queries, charts, dashboards, and written summaries—directly from natural language requests.
In Depth
GenBI is the generative-AI wave applied to analytics. Where conversational BI lets you ask questions, generative BI builds the deliverables: say "build me a dashboard tracking weekly revenue, churn, and signups by channel" and the queries, visualizations, and layout are generated rather than assembled by hand. The promise is speed—analytics output in minutes instead of sprint cycles. The discipline it requires is verification: generated artifacts need to be grounded in the real schema and inspectable, because a polished dashboard built on a subtly wrong query is worse than no dashboard.
How AI for Database Helps
AI for Database is GenBI in practice: describe what you want to track and it generates the queries, charts, and a dashboard that keeps itself up to date.

Conversational BI
Conversational BI is business intelligence delivered through a natural language interface, where users ask questions in plain language and receive charts, tables, and explanations instead of navigating pre-built dashboards.
Chart Generation from SQL
Chart generation from SQL is the automatic conversion of query results into an appropriate visualization—choosing the right chart type, axes, and formatting without manual configuration.
Dashboard Auto-Refresh
Dashboard auto-refresh is the automatic re-running of a dashboard's underlying queries on a schedule, so the displayed metrics stay current without anyone manually reloading or rebuilding anything.
Grounded Answers
Grounded answers are AI responses that are backed by verifiable source data—in database tools, answers computed by running a real query against your actual database rather than generated from the model's memory.
