What is ThoughtSpot?
ThoughtSpot is an analytics platform where business users ask questions about their data in natural language and get answers, charts and dashboards. Its AI Analyst, Spotter, grounds answers in a governed semantic layer. That layer holds business logic, joins, calculations and security rules, and it is defined before any analysis runs.
The platform includes other agents too. SpotterModel handles data modeling, SpotterViz builds dashboards and SpotterCode helps with coding. Liveboards let users drill into metrics, and automated insights point out anomalies, drivers and trends. ThoughtSpot connects live to cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks and Redshift.
ThoughtSpot suits data teams and business users who want self-service analytics. It also fits software companies that build analytics into their own products with the REST API and the Visual Embed SDK. Integrations cover Slack, Salesforce, Google Slides, ChatGPT and Claude.
