Amazon QuickSight, Amazon’s business intelligence service, is getting a few upgrades — courtesy of generative AI.
Announced at AWS Summit New York this afternoon, QuickSight will soon be able to generate visuals, fine-tune and format those visuals when given instructions in natural language and create calculations from commands without specific syntax.
On the QuickSight home dashboard, users will soon see a new drop-down “Ask Q” option near the top toolbar. Clicking on it will prompt them to describe the data that they’d like to visualize using natural language, such as “top customers” or “shoes,” or a more precise description like “shoe sales in San Antonio for 2020 by month.”
After QuickSight generates the visualization, it’ll allow users to refine it before adding it to a dashboard by applying filters or changing metrics.
