Labs / Knowledge Lens

Chat with your data.Watch it answer in views.

Knowledge Lens connects your data sources into one knowledge base. The left 20% is a chat; the right 80% is a live canvas that reshapes itself — tables, charts, timelines — based on the kind of question you ask.

ASK A “WHY” QUESTION AND THE CANVAS BECOMES A NARRATIVE; ASK “WHERE” AND IT BECOMES A MAP.

How it works

Sources in, understanding out.

  1. 01

    Connect. Databases, warehouses, document stores, and SaaS APIs feed one governed knowledge base — schema and semantics indexed together.

  2. 02

    Ask. The chat classifies each question — metric, comparison, cause, location, narrative — and retrieves from the right sources.

  3. 03

    See. The view engine picks the layout that fits the answer — not a fixed dashboard, but a canvas composed per question, with drill-down intact.

Why it exists

Because the next question never fits last quarter's dashboard.

Dashboards answer the questions someone already knew to ask. Everything after that becomes a ticket, an export, or an analyst detour. Knowledge Lens closes the gap: every source in one governed knowledge base, and a canvas composed per question instead of built in advance.

Permissions travel with the data rather than around it — the knowledge base inherits them from the source, so a lens can only ever show someone what they were already allowed to see.

Where it’s useful

One lens, three jobs.

EXECUTIVE REVIEWS

Kill the dashboard sprawl

Instead of forty pre-built dashboards nobody trusts, one question composes the right view live — and the follow-up question reshapes it.

SUPPORT & OPERATIONS

A single pane over every source

Tickets, product data, docs, and telemetry fused into one knowledge base — agents ask once instead of tab-hopping five systems.

INVESTIGATIONS

"Why did this drop?"

Cause questions get a narrative view that stitches sources together — metrics, events, and documents — with drill-down intact at every step.

Your sources, one lens.

We'll connect two of your real sources and run the demo on your own questions.
