Limitations
While the AI Assistant is a powerful tool for data exploration and analysis, it's important to note that it operates within certain limitations, such as being confined to the current report's data, and it is unable to modify or access raw data. These limitations are designed to ensure data integrity and security within the Alida platform.
The AI Assistant is designed to work with one report at a time, focusing on the currently opened report. This means:
- All data queries and analyses are performed within the context of the active report.
- The assistant cannot compare or contrast data across multiple reports simultaneously.
- You must switch reports manually if you need information from a different report.
Because the AI Assistant has a single-report focus, it has the following limitations:
- It cannot perform cross-report analysis or data aggregation.
- Historical data or trends across multiple reports are not accessible in a single interaction.
- Users needing information from multiple reports must query each report separately.
To protect data privacy and maintain the integrity of aggregated results, the AI Assistant has restricted access to certain types of raw data. Specifically:
- Open-ended responses: The AI Assistant cannot access or display individual open-ended responses from survey participants.
- Short Answer and Long Answer questions: Detailed text responses are not available for direct querying or analysis.
- Net Promoter Score℠(NPS®1) feedback: While overall NPS® scores may be available, individual feedback comments are not accessible.
It's important to note that while the AI Assistant cannot access this raw data, it can still work with aggregated results, sentiment analyses, and AI summaries that are based on these responses when the crosstabs summarizing this information are included in the report with the relevant features enabled. For example, to have the AI Assistant analyze sentiment for NPS® data, you need to add the NPS® question as a crosstab and enable the Sentiment Analysis tab for the crosstab.
