Connect your data sources, describe what you want to understand, and get a complete analytical report powered by Addison, Summation’s AI agent. No SQL required — but power users can go deeper with custom transformations and multi-source analysis.

Core concepts

Projects

The primary container for your work — holding files, data connections, reports, knowledge docs, and chat threads with Addison.

Addison

The AI agent that powers the conversational analytics experience. Ask questions, request reports, and explore data through chat.

Reports

AI-generated analytical documents with metrics, charts, summaries, and insights. Supports verification and commenting.

Dashboards

Visual presentations of data with charts, filters, and cards.

Connectors

Connect to Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, PostgreSQL, and more — or upload CSV and Excel files.

Data

View and manage your source tables and calc tables. Define transformations with SQL.

Playbooks

Reusable analytical workflows that combine a report template, data assets, and SQL templates.

Knowledge

Contextual documentation that helps Addison understand your data and business domain.

How it works

1

Connect your data

Set up a connection to your data source (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, PostgreSQL, Databricks, S3, and more) or upload CSV/Excel files. Connected data is queried in place via federated SQL — no data movement required.
2

Create a project

Projects are the primary container for your work. Add data connections, upload files, attach knowledge documents, and invite collaborators.
3

Ask Addison

Open a chat thread and ask questions in plain English. Addison generates SQL, creates intermediate tables, builds reports, and explains its reasoning.
4

Generate reports

Kick off a report through chat, the Create button, or by executing a playbook. Reports include metrics, charts, and insights — all backed by verifiable data citations.
5

Verify and share

Run verification to audit the accuracy of citations, queries, and claims. Share reports and dashboards with your team.
