By Marcus Lowe, Solutions Lead
Before you start
Good news: there's almost nothing to set up. Data AI is designed so you can go from "curious" to "running" without an engineering project. Here's the exact path.
Step 1 — Open the door (zero cost)
Head to the Data AI page and hit Start. There's no contract and no upfront cost — zero upfront · usage-based. This is the single biggest reason teams stall on AI adoption, and Data AI removes it entirely.
Step 2 — Connect what you already use
Data AI plugs into your existing stack with one-click integrations. No migration nightmares, no rip-and-replace. Most teams are live in their workflow in under two minutes.
Step 3 — Put it to work
Pick your first job. The highest-leverage starting points we see:
- Replace BI bottlenecks with self-serve answers
- Forecast demand and churn
- Unify siloed data sources
- Package data into monetizable products
Step 4 — Lean on the features that move the needle
- Universal Search. Query every source — warehouses, docs, apps — in one natural-language search.
- Prompt Your Data. Ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in your own numbers.
- Predictive Shifts. Forecast demand, churn, and market moves before they show up in a dashboard.
- Pattern Extraction. Surface the relationships and anomalies buried in your data automatically.
Step 5 — Scale as you win
Because the model is a partnership, you scale at your own pace and Scale shares in the upside. Start small, prove value, then expand — the pricing rewards growth instead of punishing it.
Common questions
Where does Data AI get its answers? From your connected sources — grounded in your own data, with citations back to the source.
Do non-technical teammates need SQL? No. Anyone can prompt the data in plain language and get trustworthy answers.
That's it. Five minutes from now you could be running the same technology that helped build the AI industry.
