Intro

Clarative is an enterprise, generative-AI data platform for analytics, cataloging, and discovery. Its generative and self-documenting features help data teams and business stakeholders alike ask questions of their data in plain English - reducing the barrier to answers for all.

Getting Started​

The easiest way to get started with Clarative is to ask a question from the search bar on the homepage.

Administrators should start by working through the Quick Start Guide.

Ask Bar

Conversations​

Conversations (also called investigations) are Clarative's core primative. Conversations allow you to ask the AI questions about connected data systems and do retrieve, modify, and visualize that data in real-time.

There are two types of conversations: Overview and Deep Dive. Some users may have access to both types of conversations, other may only have access to one type of conversation. Both types are described in more detail in later sections.

Conversation Limitations​

Conversations are a great way to ask questions that return answers in the form of data. Due to architectual decisions to increase data security, users can't currently ask questions about the contents of the data.

If there are types of questions you find yourself wanting to ask that currently aren't supported, please reach out to support@clarative.ai and we're happy to see what we can do to enable those questions.

Searching for Data​

If you're searching for specific data, like a table, query, or chart, rather than starting a new conversation you can click Or, start by exploring under the text box on the home page or the magnifying glass icon in the left sidebar.

Improving Generation​

There are two main ways to improve generation: Golden Queries and Rules.

Golden Queries allow data experts to provide canonical answers to certain types of questions. The AI uses Golden Queries to both canonically answer questions, and to extrapolate answers to new types of questions.

Rules are more general-purpose. Rules create broad guiderails for the AI. Rules can be useful for big topics, but generally Golden Queries have a bigger impact on AI performance.
