Answers you can check, in plain language.

Ask in plain language. VideoBI investigates across every site the way an analyst would, then answers with a verdict, the reasoning and the evidence. Every number in the answer is computed from your data by analysis tools; the language model only writes the text around it.

Real answers

Two answers from the live demo.

Two questions asked in the VideoBI live demo, with the steps it took and the answers it gave.

  • It investigates first. Analysis tools separate traffic from conversion, split dock time into its segments, compare every site.
  • Hover any number. Each one says what it measured, where and over which period.
  • It says what it can't see. Sales, labor dollars and invoices are named, not guessed.
How an answer is built

How Ask builds an answer.

  1. UnderstandThe question, your sites, what VideoBI measures and what it doesn't, and the thread so far.
  2. InvestigateAnalysis tools run over the governed datasets. Each result is a fact with its scope and period.
  3. Check every numberThe answer may only cite facts the tools computed. A figure the model typed itself is removed.
  4. Show the evidenceCharts and camera stills sit between the paragraphs; save them as a dashboard in one click.
Questions operators ask

Start with the question you'd ask your best analyst.

Restaurants
  • Store 14 has been down for three quarters. Is that a manager problem or a market problem?
  • Our bottom five stores: how much of that gap is actually recoverable?
  • Where is register capacity the limit at lunch?
  • What is fixing dinner at the drive-thru worth?
Distribution
  • Why is our cost per unit up when volume is flat?
  • We're paying a lot in detention. Is that the carriers' fault or ours?
  • Do we need a new building, or can we re-slot what we have?
  • What's our real dock capacity at each building?
Boundaries

What Ask works with.

Aggregates only

Ask answers about sites, zones, hours and shifts. It never follows or identifies a person.

Your data stays yours

Questions run against your organization's datasets, with the same access rules as your dashboards.

Every plan includes it

Starter: 3 questions a day. Professional: 10. Enterprise: up to 1,000.
