​
Natural Language Analytics

​
Conversational Analysis Interface

Users can request complex analyses using natural language: Examples:
  • “Analyze customer churn patterns and predict at-risk customers”
  • “Find correlation between marketing spend and revenue growth”
  • “Identify seasonal trends in sales data”
  • “Segment customers based on purchasing behavior”
  • “Detect anomalies in transaction patterns”
