From a new dataset to a decision, without the blank canvas
Golden starts working as soon as you connect data: profiling what is there, surfacing useful questions, and drafting the charts and narrative that help you investigate. Ask in plain language, work directly in the visual builder, or move between the two without starting over.
Compare the whole analytics workflow: how quickly people find a useful starting point, how deeply analysts can investigate, how directly they can verify and edit the work, and how easily the result becomes something the team can reuse.
AI speed, analyst control, and one place for the team to work
For data analysts
Spend more time investigating and less time iterating
Golden gives you natural-language analysis, reusable calculations, and editable generated dashboards. Apply your knowledge of the business to defining the question, checking the result, and explaining what deserves attention.
See how it works →For data leaders
Expand participation without creating another authoring tier
Self-service analytics is broken if follow-up questions result in endless iterations. Golden brings analysts and business users into a shared environment. Data dictionaries provide common field definitions, Spaces organize the work, and permissions determine who can view or edit it.
Complexity made easy →For business colleagues
Answer the questions that go beyond the dashboard
When dashboards leave you with more questions than answers, Golden lets you investigate through plain-language questions and suggested next steps. Start from the data and analyses your team has made available. Get the answers you're looking for without submitting another ticket.

How to compare Golden FAQ
Who is Golden best suited for?
Golden is designed for analysts and data leaders who want to make recurring analysis easier to create, explain, and share with business colleagues. It is particularly relevant when report-building work and follow-up requests are limiting the time your analysts can spend investigating the business.
Other platforms have AI. What should I compare?
Compare the work you can complete and maintain. In Golden, you can generate a dashboard, inspect calculations, and edit the result directly. Use the same real question in each product and assess the effort needed to prepare the data, check the answer, revise the output, and help a colleague continue exploring.
Can we use Golden alongside our current platform?
Start with a supported data source and a defined use case, then compare results before moving more work. Existing reports, calculations, semantic models, and access rules need a migration assessment; connecting to the same warehouse does not automatically transfer them.
Coming from Tableau? Our guide to Tableau alternatives walks through the options and what to evaluate.
Do we need a cloud data warehouse?
No. Golden supports files, including spreadsheets and CSVs, as well as live connections to warehouses such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift. Start with the data that supports the question you need to answer.
