FlexConnect Data Source Support
Companies often have data spread across many sources, and with so many types of data storage, it's hard to support all combinations with regular data connectors. FlexConnect helps solve this by letting you connect to almost any data source. This includes streaming data, structured and unstructured data, databases, third-party platforms, and machine learning models.
Previously, we used the names "FlexFunctions" and "Flight RPC" during the beta phase. The new name, "FlexConnect," makes everything consistent in the user interface, repository, and API (which still used "FLIGHTRPC" before).
See the FlexConnect page for more information.
AI Assistant (Experimental Feature)
We are introducing an AI assistant for trial users. This chatbot helps you easily find answers to your business questions, so you don't need to know the details of your data model, dashboards, or visualizations.
In this version, the AI Assistant can:
- Search existing dashboards and visualizations to answer your business questions.
- Create new visualizations if there isn’t an existing one that fits.
- Improve ad-hoc visualizations based on your feedback.
The AI Assistant replaces the Analytical Catalog and Flex AI. For more details, see the AI Assistant documentation.
