Delivers insights in all Tableau-supported languages with locale-specific formatting (currency, dates) based on user account settings
Provides correlation insights between metrics using Enhanced Q&A, showing strength and direction of relationships even across different data sources
Eliminates arguments about 'what the right number is' by standardizing metrics from published data sources across the organization
Note: Does not allow non-technical users to author new analyses or dashboards—only provides insights on existing metrics configured by analysts
Note: Requires analysts to set up the underlying metrics and relationships before business users can benefit from automated insights
Note: Some advanced AI features (Dynamic Sorting & Grouping, Pulse Q&A for related metrics, Metrics Goals) are planned for premium tiers only
