Sage search
Use natural language to search for answers to your business questions. You can begin a search from the Search bar in the Home page, or by entering your question in the Search bar that appears in the top navigation bar when you navigate to a different tab.
Click the search bar labeled Ask any business question you have, select the Worksheet to search on, and type your question in natural language. You can specify the chart type for the resulting Answer in your question, for example "show me sales by region as a bar chart". You can change the Worksheet selected when you search from the Home page. When you search using the search bar in the top navigation bar, the search inherits the Worksheet you last searched on.
ThoughtSpot translates your question into a SQL query using a Large Language Model (LLM). When you enter your question, you will see the AI-generated Answer appear, along with a list of related Answers created by users in your team.
See Sage search best practices for more information about how to best use natural language search. Please note that while natural language search supports all the languages supported by ThoughtSpot, the accuracy of results may vary for non-English languages.
Note that you must select a Worksheet to see an AI-generated Answer. If you use natural language search when the source is set to All sources, you see a list of user-generated Answers that match your query the closest.
Edit the Answer
If you want to make any changes to the AI-generated Answer, click the blue title of the Answer and you will navigate to an editable version in the Search Data tab.
Give feedback to AI-generated Answers
You can leave feedback on the accuracy of the AI-generated Answer by clicking the ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ buttons in the lower-right corner of the Answer. Giving feedback allows ThoughtSpot’s LLM to learn and increase the accuracy of its AI-generated Answers, and provides analysts the ability to review feedback using Sage Coach.
When giving feedback to AI-generated Answers in Sage, you tell ThoughtSpot precisely what search tokens to use to signify certain key terms. For example, when you search for "best performing products this year", ThoughtSpot responds with the top five products sorted by sum of sales. You can correct top five to top ten by clicking the thumbs-down icon and editing the Answer. ThoughtSpot then stores that feedback, and admin users and Worksheet owners can decide to apply the feedback globally, so that every time someone searches for "best" products, they receive the top ten results.
