With the ever-growing focus on GenAI, many legacy BI tools have failed to invest in the analyst. By focusing solely on AI experiences for business teams, they’ve alienated data teams, relegating analysts to disjointed tools and data silos. When in reality, businesses still need people who can help decision-makers assess messy data to diagnose and evaluate business problems. In fact, in this age of AI, we need analysts more now than ever.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Analyst Studio, the collaborative creator space where data teams can come together to transform raw data into actionable insights. Designed to streamline your workflows, Analyst Studio empowers data teams to prepare AI-ready data, optimize costs, and seamlessly switch between ad-hoc queries and advanced analysis. Now you can move beyond just generating reports. By combining the analytical rigor of data science with your deep business knowledge, you can become a business scientist—a true catalyst for business growth.
A look inside Analyst Studio
Analyst Studio is a complete analytics workflow within the ThoughtSpot Intelligence Platform that empowers data teams to work faster, smarter, and more collaboratively than previously possible with disconnected, legacy BI tools. Now you can seamlessly switch between SQL, Python, R, and visual analysis to accelerate speed to insights for data and business teams alike.
Unify your data with live connections or extracts
You’re no doubt under immense pressure to deliver real-time, actionable insights to the whole business, but the journey from data to insights is often complex and time-consuming. Analyst Studio seamlessly integrates with popular databases, cloud data warehouses, and applications like Google Sheets, while the SQL editor enables you to mash up data across these sources.
Additionally, Analyst Studio provides an “extract” solution called Datasets, which allows you to decide when to work with periodic data snapshots and controlled data refresh schedules instead of live connections. Having this flexibility ensures optimized performance and reduced load on data sources. Datasets also allow you to create prototypes before committing to large-scale, resource-intensive initiatives aimed at developing production-grade models or pipelines. With Analyst Studio, you can optimize operational efficiency while also satisfying the use cases dependent on real-time data.
Build faster with an AI-assisted SQL editor
Our powerful SQL editor empowers you to directly manipulate and transform data within the analytics workflow. Its advanced autocomplete features suggest SQL syntax, table names, and column references to streamline query writing. Meanwhile, the SQL editor’s history feature allows you to easily revisit and reuse previous queries.
The built-in AI Assist feature helps you generate SQL queries using natural language, further improving the speed of writing queries and ensuring proper and consistent syntax throughout your code. Analyst Studio also provides powerful visual exploration tools within the editor, allowing you to profile, understand, and refine data before making it available to the rest of the business.
Seamlessly perform advanced analytics with Python and R notebooks
As an analyst, you often spend more time wrestling with inflexible systems, juggling different tools for different types of analysis, rather than focusing on high-value, strategic analysis. That’s why we created Analyst Studio to support both Python and R notebooks, allowing you to perform advanced statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and more—all within a single platform.
The notebooks come pre-configured with popular libraries while also offering the flexibility to install additional private or public libraries as needed. Additionally, Analyst Studio provides a way to securely store your private keys via the Secrets feature, ensuring safe access to third-party APIs and applications. By consolidating all these capabilities in one platform, you can perform complex analyses without switching between multiple tools, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency.
Unifying teams around data and AI
Get your data AI-ready
According to MIT’s survey of data and analytics leaders, data readiness challenges are one of the biggest blockers for organizations hoping to use GenAI for analytics. Analyst Studio accelerates the process of preparing AI-ready data, helping organizations unlock the full potential of agentic AI and conversational data experiences.
Now you can join data from multiple sources and directly manipulate raw data—maximizing flexibility and enabling quick iterations. With seamless access to AI-ready data, business teams can use Spotter and other AI capabilities available in ThoughtSpot to make insights accessible across all levels of business.
Manage data and costs on your terms
In a world that demands increasing access to data at every level and now with AI agents querying analytics tables as parts of autonomous workflows, many are seeing warehousing costs balloon. Analyst Studio Datasets provide a clear workflow to optimize analytics warehousing costs, reduce strain on data sources, and improve query runtime performance. It also creates a more agile work environment—allowing you to create and test prototypes on data snapshots before investing in large-scale, time-intensive models and data pipelines.
All of this adds up. Especially when you consider the opportunity to unify the entire team under a single, comprehensive analytics solution. No more segmented tools with fragmented cost structures, and no more siloed data leaving critical insights out of reach. From data prep and ad-hoc analysis to complex and advanced analytics, Analyst Studio powers the entire data team within one unified platform, lowering your total cost of ownership while optimizing your operational efficiency.
Empower faster insight to action
Collaboration doesn’t stop with the data team. Analyst Studio makes it easier to share insights and quickly iterate on solutions with business teams. Need to perform a complex analysis before an upcoming meeting? Maybe that requires mashing data from a Google Sheet with data from your cloud data warehouse. Analyst Studio makes this easy, eliminating the need to make changes to your warehouse schema, and you can even use AI Assist to help build the correct SQL syntax.
Need to perform advanced analytics? No problem. Leverage the integrated Python and R notebooks. Using instant access to popular built-in libraries, you can perform sophisticated analytics without creating additional data silos or relying on fragmented analytics workflows. With an intelligence platform that includes these data science capabilities, your most advanced and strategic work is faster and easier to share with your stakeholders, increasing your footprint and impact on your business.
