Identifying the intent and relevant data
Enhancing context for deeper understanding

Kaiya answers natural language questions about metadataโsuch as measures, dimensions, calculated columns, and date fieldsโso that you can quickly uncover key details about your Business View (BV) without technical expertise. Whether you're a business user trying to understand data relevance before diving into analysis or an analyst seeking granular technical details, Kaiya bridges the gap between technical metadata and business context.

Discover available columns (measures, dimensions, date fields, and calculated columns).
Understand calculated column formulas and their purpose.
Identify fields related to a specific concept or KPI.
Bridge the gap between technical metadata (e.g., field definitions) and business relevance.
