March 10, 2026

Have you used Planning Analytics’ new AI functionality to analyze your existing models? Maybe you have a chart that you want to get insights on, or maybe you have a set of data where you want to define outliers. All this functionality can be performed by simply clicking on the AI button within PAW:

For more details on these items, please watch our most recent webinar about Planning Analytics’ AI functionality.

But did you know that you can also use the Planning Analytics assistant to “speak” to your model? You can access the assistance by clicking on the icon in the top ribbon:

Once clicked, a window will appear that will allow you to interact with the model using natural language functionality. You can use statements such as:

Tell me about this chart
Show me outliers in this dataset

This approach gives you a great deal of flexibility when using PAW. You can use your mouse, your standard keyboard, or even voice commands to reference various functions in your Planning Analytics environment.
