Holistics AI helps you work with data faster using natural language. You can ask questions, explore and visualize data, understand charts and dashboards, and build analytics assets. Because it works on your organization’s semantic layer, results are more accurate, consistent, and aligned with your business definitions.

Most core capabilities are available in both <ReportingAskAI /> and <DevelopmentCopilot />. Some capabilities are only available in <DevelopmentCopilot />, where AI can edit assets in the semantic layer.

## Explore data

<ReportingAskAI /> <DevelopmentCopilot />

Ask questions in natural language to query and analyze your data, including complex calculations, comparisons, and analytical reasoning.

Holistics AI can both search through existing curated dashboards and generate new queries to answer your question more quickly and accurately.
