Automated insights are a significant part of modern business intelligence solutions. As a feature, it leverages machine learning (ML) and natural language generation (NLG) technologies to enable dashboard users to ask a question from the dataset they’re trying to find an answer for.

Automated insights provide the capability for your dashboards to generate and display deeper answers a user might not be able to extract from manual exploration and analysis alone. When building dashboards, it is crucial to be familiarized with the benefits of in-built automation so you can enhance the metrics being shared and maximize the potential for extra nsight opportunities.

Despite increasing streamlining of valuable analysis techniques, such as augmented analytics and automated business monitoring – particularly for the average business user – many BI platforms still lack these capabilities, so being able to leverage automated insights isn’t a guarantee. Hence, it is important to identify which platforms currently have automation in-built.
