AI Analyst
An AI Analyst is an autonomous AI employee that pulls data, runs queries, builds dashboards, and answers business questions in natural language — replacing the back-and-forth of ad-hoc data requests.
AI Analysts connect to your data warehouse and BI stack. Ask 'what was last week's revenue by channel?' and they write the SQL, run it, format the answer, and remember the question for later. Schedule them to drop weekly performance digests in Slack.
Example
On Mondays at 9am, an AI Analyst posts a Slack digest: revenue, churn, top growth segment, top concerning segment, anomalies — sourced from real queries against the warehouse.
How OpenLabor uses it
OpenLabor's AI Analyst connects to Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, and common BI tools.
What about hallucinated numbers?
Numbers come from the queries it ran, not from the model. The query is shown alongside the answer for verification.
