The AI Analyst is actively evolving. This page outlines what’s available today and what’s coming next across two dimensions: where you can use it (interfaces) and what it can do (capabilities).

Current Capabilities

Interface: Slack

The AI Analyst is currently available in Slack. You can ask questions in your SourceMedium channel or via direct message.

Functionality: Ad-Hoc Questions

Today, the AI Analyst handles on-demand questions — you ask, it answers. This includes:
  • Straightforward queries: “What was our revenue last week?”
  • Complex analysis: Open-ended questions that benefit from multiple analytical perspectives
  • Definitions & schema: “What is LTV?” or “Which table has order data?”
  • Diagnostics: Data Health and Attribution Health checks
For complex questions, the AI Analyst automatically engages Deep Analysis Mode, exploring your question from multiple angles before synthesizing a comprehensive answer.

What’s Coming

New Interfaces

MCP Protocol

New Capabilities

Recurring Reports

Status: PlannedSchedule regular analyses — daily revenue summaries, weekly channel performance, monthly cohort reports — delivered automatically to Slack or email.

Background Analysis

Status: PlannedProactive agents that monitor your data and surface insights without being asked. “Your Meta ROAS dropped 15% this week” or “You have 3 tables that haven’t refreshed in 7 days.”

Improved Visualizations

Status: Coming SoonBetter charts with clearer labels, smarter axis choices, and support for multi-step visual stories that walk you through an analysis.

Cross-Session Context

Status: PlannedThe AI Analyst will remember insights from previous conversations, building context over time to provide more relevant answers.

Custom Table Support

Status: PlannedConnect the AI Analyst to your own custom BigQuery tables and proprietary logic. Define custom schemas that the agent can understand and query alongside SourceMedium’s out-of-the-box data.

Granular Access Control

Status: PlannedFine-grained permissions to control who can query what. Limit access by store, specific tables, or analytical domains at the user level.

Multi-Store Filtering

Status: PlannedFor organizations with multiple stores, scope questions to a specific store. “What was revenue for Store A last week?”

Conversation Follow-ups

Status: PlannedAsk follow-up questions within a thread that build on previous answers. “Break that down by channel” after an initial revenue question.

What This Means For You

Short Term

You can rely on the AI Analyst for on-demand analysis in Slack. Ask questions when you need answers, and the AI will query your data, generate SQL, and return results with visualizations.

Medium Term

Expect recurring reports and proactive monitoring — the AI Analyst will start surfacing insights before you ask, catching anomalies and delivering scheduled summaries.

Long Term

The AI Analyst becomes a multi-channel analytics companion — available wherever you are (Slack, email, SMS, voice, your favorite AI tool), proactively keeping you informed while remaining available for ad-hoc questions.
