AI feature enablement

To enable Spotter search and other AI features for users in your organization, you must first enable AI features from the Admin portal, add Spotter privileges to the specific users or groups, and enable Spotter on your desired Worksheet(s) or Model(s).

Turn on AI features for your cluster

To turn on AI features for your cluster, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Admin tab.

  2. Select ThoughtSpot AI under the Application settings section in the left side menu.

    Edit Ask AI section

  3. From the Choose Spotter experience section, you can choose either Spotter or Sage & Ask Sage.

  4. From the Choose Spotter answer experience section, you can choose the answer experience as Spotter agent or Classic experience. You can also set Spotter Agent as on by default, if it has been enabled. For more information on the behavior of Spotter or Sage and Ask Sage in relation to Spotter Agent, see Spotter Agent.
