Kantata Inc. has launched Expertise Insights, a generative business intelligence tool integrated into its Expertise Engine platform. The software allows users to query business data using natural language, receiving responses in the form of interactive charts, calculations, or summaries. This aims to reduce the time required to extract insights, which can otherwise take up to a week when handled by analysts.
The platform is built on Amazon Web Services' Amazon QuickSight and features a semantic layer that maps database fields to company-specific terminology. Kantata provides four pre-built dashboards covering finance, delivery, time, and resourcing. The Ask Insights feature enables users to generate custom analyses on demand, while Bookmarks and Pinboards help manage and store specific views to prevent dashboard sprawl.
The system can correlate data points such as capacity, margin, and delivery risk. According to Kantata, this functionality allows for the creation of complete board decks in minutes. The tool is already in use by the life sciences consultancy Lumanity Inc., where it has reportedly reduced the time required for complex reporting tasks from several hours to one hour.
Expertise Insights was announced at the Technology & Services World conference in Las Vegas and is currently available. This release follows the launch of Agent Studio, which debuted a month ago and allows firms to create custom AI agents through natural language descriptions.
