Tableau AI by Salesforce
Tableau AI, enhanced by Einstein Generative AI, is made to streamline and accelerate the data analysis process across the entire Tableau platform. It offers a set of capabilities aimed at democratizing data analysis, delivering insights at scale, simplifying data exploration, and supporting business decisions.
The tool aids data analysts by reducing technical barriers and repetitive tasks, and provides business users with smart and contextual insights in natural language — making insights quick and easy to understand.
Tableau AI is built on the Salesforce’s Einstein Trust Layer, allowing for the creation of trusted, ethical, and open AI-powered experiences without compromising data security and privacy. The platform can accelerate time to value and reduce repetitive tasks for data analysts through smart suggestions and in-product guidance. Moreover, it supercharges analysts by automating data analysis, preparation, and governance to accelerate time to insight.
One of the key features of Tableau AI is Tableau Pulse, which personalizes the user experience by providing proactive delivery of timely insights. Thanks to the use of generative AI tech, Insight Summaries are generated in natural language, offering a comprehensive overview of metrics’ performance — which significantly reduces the time and energy needed for users to determine their focus.
Generative AI tech also provides in-context help for understanding Tableau features, improves visualization and dashboard quality through prescriptive guidance, and automates known curation and repetitive tasks to speed up dashboard creation.
Ultimately, Tableau AI — with its generative AI capabilities – is setting a new standard for data analysis and insight consumption. It is not just about providing data visualization tools but is reimagining the future of data analysis.
