Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a must-have in analytics, not just a nice-to-have. Qlik has embedded AI capabilities into its platform to help organizations move beyond descriptive dashboards and into predictive, automated, and more human-friendly insights.
If you’re new to Qlik AI, here are 5 simple steps to start using it effectively:
Step 1: Connect Your Data Sources
Before AI can deliver insights, you need the right data in place. Use Qlik’s wide range of connectors to bring in data from spreadsheets, databases, cloud apps, or APIs. The more complete and accurate your data foundation, the more reliable your AI-driven insights will be.
Step 2: Prepare and Cleanse Data with AI Assistance
Qlik AI helps automate data preparation. It can suggest transformations, highlight quality issues, and recommend joins across multiple datasets. This reduces manual work and ensures your data is ready for meaningful analysis.
Step 3: Ask Questions in Natural Language
With Qlik Insight Advisor, you don’t need to be a data scientist. Simply type or speak questions like “What were last quarter’s top 5 products by revenue?” and Qlik AI generates visualizations and answers instantly—making analytics accessible to everyone.
Step 4: Use Predictive and Advanced Analytics
Go beyond what happened to what will happen. Qlik AI can integrate predictive models, surface hidden patterns, and even run “what-if” scenarios to guide smarter planning. This helps teams anticipate challenges and seize opportunities early.
Step 5: Embed AI Insights into Daily Decisions
Analytics is only powerful when applied. Qlik allows you to embed AI-driven insights directly into dashboards, workflows, or even external apps, ensuring decision-makers act on data in real time, without switching tools.
Starting with Qlik AI doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By following these five steps—connecting, preparing, asking, predicting, and embedding, you can move from raw data to actionable intelligence faster than ever.
Qlik AI isn’t here to replace human decision-making. It’s here to enhance it, helping you make smarter, faster, and more confident choices every day.
