📊 Agents that actually work

New AI agents are emerging daily, but how many actually work? Numbers Station releases an exclusive look at how they deliver analytics agents to their customers. Their agents work in unison so users can query across different data sources.

The fleet of agents: 

• The Search Agent – unifies fragmented analytics assets (dashboards, schemas, warehouses, email) to find one that answers the question.

• The Diagnostic Agent – goes beyond the capabilities of existing dashboards and initiates a dynamic drill down to find the root cause of a trend.

• The Next Best Action Agent – recommends an action for the user to take based on its findings.

• Finally, a Tool Agent – implements the suggested action by plugging into external tools (e.g. a GDrive agent to create and share a presentation with other teams), so you don’t have to.

Skip the waitlist and request a demo to see all the agents in action.
