Things to ask Zap AI
What people actually ask for, and what they get. Grouped by the job you want done.
Answer
Answer pulls a number out of a report you already have. It only reads reports your team has published and made available to the AI, so every answer traces back to a report you can open.
Modify
Modify changes the report in front of you: add a column, cut it to the top ten, bring in a figure from another system. One change at a time. Anything bigger is a job for Build.
Check
Check explains a number in the report you're looking at. Point at a cell, a column or a row and ask how it was worked out, or flag a concern for Check to look into.
Investigate
Investigate digs through the data to work out what happened in the business and how much it matters. It reports back. It never changes anything.
What to look at before close
“Anything to investigate before close?”
Customers going quiet
“Who is going quiet?”
The loss hiding in a growing product
“What am I missing?”
Is discounting really the problem?
“Margin's down because of discounting, right?”
Why did margin fall? Four steps to the cause
“Why did north margin fall?”
Build
Build makes new analytics. Three ways to start: show it a screenshot of what you want, let it ask you the questions a good analyst would, or point at a report you like and ask for another version.
Diagnose
Diagnose checks how a report is put together and finds what's wrong with it: a definition that's off, a cost counted twice. It checks the workings, not the business. It can find and fix issues on its own.
