Discover Tableau AI and Analytics

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

  • Describe how Tableau artificial intelligence can help you make smarter business decisions.
  • Explain the different augmented analytics, business science, and data science Tableau offerings.

How Is Tableau Using AI-Powered Analytics?

If you’re working with a lot of data, it can sometimes feel like you have more questions than answers. Which data points are relevant? How can you use data to make predictions? And how can you get predictions and improvements on your data directly in Tableau without writing a single line of code?

To help you answer these questions, Tableau includes transparent artificial intelligence (AI) in its platform. With Tableau AI, everyone—even those who are new to data analytics—can easily understand how predictions and insights are surfaced and why they’re relevant. The result is better decisions made right in the flow of analysis. 

Tableau uses augmented analytics to empower business users to discover insights, ranging from automated modeling to guided natural language queries. And without writing a single line of code, you can use Einstein Discovery in Tableau to create intuitive predictive models. 

Our business science technologies offer governed, no-code machine learning—like predictions, what-if scenario planning, and guided model building. Our third-party AI integrations are built where you’re already working, so you can build and deploy without disrupting your analysis. And because Tableau AI is transparent, you and your teams have visibility into results so that you can stand behind your decisions.

To help you integrate and visualize the results from your extensions and integrations, Tableau offers data science and analytics investments that scale models and custom code from across your organization into Tableau.

Tableau AI Features

Whether you’re working in Tableau or in Salesforce, you’ll have access to easy-to-use, AI-powered solutions.

Dive Deep with Explain Data

Explain Data in Tableau provides AI-driven explanations for the value of a data point with a single click. Based on advanced statistical models, explanations are shown in existing workflows, so you can discover insights about your data more quickly.

Analyze Data in CRM Analytics

Ask Data for Salesforce allows you to ask any question using natural language and get instant answers in the form of insights, instantly generated reports, and recommended dashboards. Because Einstein learns the structure and context of language from your CRM, you spend less time trying to ask the right questions and more time taking action. 

Einstein Discovery for Reports gives you AI-powered insights directly within your Salesforce Reports. Einstein scans your report data quickly and thoroughly using machine learning and comprehensive statistical analysis. With just a question and a few clicks, you can discover insights and take action with confidence.

Use Trusted, Transparent AI in Tableau

And with Einstein Discovery in Tableau, no matter what your skill level, you can access predictions based on powerful predictive models without needing to write algorithms. Because Tableau AI has a number of anti-bias and transparency features built in, you can trust that you’re using AI responsibly, accurately, and ethically.

Forecast with Confidence

Forecasting in Tableau automatically selects a model based on your data and accounts for trends and seasonality by using exponential smoothing. 

Build Better Predictive Models

Level up from existing trend line analytics. Tableau prediction table calcs build a model that understands how your data is distributed around a best-fit line. By changing the regression model, you can immediately see how that change impacts the predictions when compared to historical data.

Integrate Results 

Leverage Tableau’s data science and analytics investments to scale models and custom code across your organization directly in the flow of your work. Integrate and visualize results from your R, Python, Einstein Discovery, MATLAB, and other extensions and integrations into Tableau.

Summary

Ask questions. Discover the “why” behind data insights. Use historic data to better predict the future. With Tableau AI-powered analytics, no matter what your skill level, you can make better business decisions faster and stand confidently behind your answers.
