Explorer¶

Actian AI Analyst Explorer is the interface where business teams get answers from their data. Ask questions in plain language, explore results, and re-run proven queries — no SQL or data knowledge required.

Explorer is the counterpart to Studio: Studio is where data teams build and configure AI Analysts; Explorer is where everyone else uses them.

Access¶

Actian AI Analyst uses two roles to separate configuration from daily use:

• Admin — full access to both Studio and Explorer. For data teams who build and test AI Analysts.
• User — access to Explorer only. For business users who interact with configured AI Analysts.

Mobile¶

Explorer is fully supported on mobile devices — query your data and view results from anywhere. Studio is desktop-only due to its complex configuration interface.
