The next step of Qlik in Augmented Intelligence
Qlik is about to take Augmented Intelligence for Analytics to the next level, making it even easier for users to get insights from their data. The role of analytics continues to expand within organizations where Qlik is used. The increasingly simple use of data plays an important role in this. However, this simplicity also makes an important contribution to the quality and value of that data. Reason for Qlik to fully focus on the development of Augmented Intelligence, which has resulted, among other things, in the recent updates with Insight Advisor and the November release of Qlik sense in 2018
Recently Qlik Expand its AI capabilities even further with the acquisition of CrunchBot and the Crunch Data Inc. team. A team of AI professionals with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the development of Augmented Intelligence solutions. This will help the users of Qlik to further stimulate the use of data visualization and to significantly improve its quality.
CrunchBot is a natural voice-controlled interface and available immediately. CrunchBot is accessible from Qlik but also from other integrated platforms such as Slack, Skype, Salesforce Chat and Microsoft Teams. CrunchBot is based on Qlik's open APIs and the Qlik Associative Engine and adds to the already powerful Augmented Intelligence of Qlik, voice control. This allows users to explore and answer the data with voice (search) commands.
Unlike single bots, CrunchBot interacts in a unique way with Qlik. This makes the gap between data visualization and voice-driven data discovery very small. CrunchBot is on top QlikBuilt the Associative Engine, allowing users to ask questions that seamlessly connect with the ones in use Qlik Sense apps, all in context. Actually offers Qlik thus the best of both worlds - users can have voice-guided conversations and then easily switch to the visualizations to gain more insight into the answers given. Since CrunchBot already has a through Qlik Trusted Extension Developer (TED) is an accredited solution, you can immediately expect a high quality of the product. In addition, the strong API framework offers the further advantage that integration with other solutions will be fairly easy.
Equally important is the knowledge and experience that the Crunch Data team will bring with it. Which will of course be deployed to the users of Qlik to offer added value that want to use data visualization even more widely in the organization. The Crunch Data team will be merged with the existing one Qlik team, to Qlik users with Augmented Intelligence to get even more value from their investments in Business Intelligence.
