What is AskEdi, and how does it work within Edilitics?

AskEdi is an AI-powered assistant that lets you get real-time answers from your unified, analytics-ready data - directly inside Edilitics. Instead of writing SQL or building dashboards for every question, you just ask in plain English and get structured, explainable results, powered by your governed data and the latest enterprise LLMs.

What business problems does AskEdi actually solve?

AskEdi closes the “decision gap” - providing live, actionable answers exactly when the question arises, whether in a meeting, on the go, or at the executive level. No more waiting for custom dashboards, chasing down analysts, or wrangling with query tools. AskEdi empowers anyone to unlock value from trusted data at the speed of business.

How is AskEdi different from traditional dashboards, BI tools, or SQL queries?

Dashboards and SQL work well for recurring, predictable reporting. AskEdi is for the questions you can’t anticipate - one-off, ad-hoc, or critical “what if” scenarios. There’s no code, no setup, and no dependency on engineering or data teams. You get instant, explainable answers - directly from your governed data, not from raw, unreliable sources.

What data does AskEdi use to generate answers?

AskEdi only operates on datasets you explicitly connect and enable. You control which tables, columns, and metadata are shared. For best results, AskEdi should be used with data that’s already cleaned, transformed, and documented - though you can technically query any source. The more analytics-ready your data, the more meaningful and accurate your answers.

What are the requirements to use AskEdi?

You need integrated data sources and mandatory AI-driven column insights (metadata) in place. This ensures every table has business context and explainability. No special AI expertise is required, and setup takes just a few minutes once your data is unified in Edilitics.

How is context and privacy managed when I ask a question?

You decide exactly what context is sent to the language model for each session - such as column names, business descriptions, sample data, and role. Nothing is exposed by default, and you control the context for every question. AskEdi never grants direct access to your systems; only governed metadata and sample data are used to generate answers.

Which AI models power AskEdi, and can I choose which one to use?

AskEdi is powered by the latest enterprise-grade language models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind. You can select which model to use for each session - giving you flexibility and control over performance and output. There is no auto-routing; the choice is always yours.

Is my data ever used to train third-party AI models or leave my environment?

AskEdi is architected so that your data, prompts, and answers are not used to train or improve the underlying models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepMind. We use only enterprise-grade API endpoints, which - according to the latest official documentation - do not use API-submitted data for training or product improvement. However, ultimate data handling policies rest with the model providers, and we recommend you review their latest documentation if you have specific compliance concerns.

How quickly can I start getting answers with AskEdi?

Once your sources are integrated and metadata is completed, you can start chatting with your data in under five minutes. No code, no technical setup, and no dependency on data engineering. The onboarding flow is designed for instant time-to-value.

Who benefits most from AskEdi?

AskEdi is built for decision-makers, business teams, and anyone who needs timely insight without technical overhead. C-suite, product leads, ops, and analysts can all get governed, trusted answers - without bottlenecks or handoffs. For analytics and data teams, AskEdi eliminates ad-hoc request overload, freeing them to focus on higher-value work.
