Deep Analysis
Autonomous multi-step investigations for complex business questions
While Chat mode handles quick lookups, some questions require deeper investigation. Deep Analysis is Dot's research mode—an autonomous AI analyst that explores your data from multiple angles.
Instead of answering directly, Dot runs multiple queries, investigates root causes, validates findings, and delivers a comprehensive report with visualizations and recommendations.
When to Use Deep Analysis
"Why did revenue drop in Q3?"
"What's this quarter's revenue?"
"What's driving the increase in churn?"
"Show me monthly churn rate"
"Compare YoY performance across segments"
"Chart revenue by month"
Rule of thumb: Use Deep Analysis for "why" questions and multi-step investigations. Use Chat for quick lookups.

Tips for Better Results
Be specific about what you're investigating:

Ask follow-ups — Deep Analysis maintains context:
"Drill deeper into EMEA"
"Show the top 10 customers driving this"
