Select Star has a number of AI powered features:
Admins can configure the settings for these features under Admin > AI Settings.
Here, admins can
Control the availability of all AI powered features via the Enable AI Features toggle
Separately enable/disable AI Generated Descriptions and the Ask AI Chatbot
Configure the language of AI generated responses
Enable AI to automatically document data assets when a new data source is added
This setting only applies when a new data source is added, not to existing data sources.
When enabled, descriptions will be generated for the top 20% of assets, by popularity and lineage
Note: The Ask AI settings apply to both the in-app and Slack versions of Ask AI.
Admins can further provide custom instructions, enhancing the relevance and quality of the chatbot for your use cases.
Some examples include:
Do not generate SQL queries unless explicitly asked
Only return assets with the "Certified" tag
If there are multiple matching resources, always return the most popular ones
Admins can add custom instructions and click Save to update them for all users. This applies immediately so you can quickly test out the impact with the Ask AI Chatbot.
You can also restrict the access the Ask AI chatbot should have access to, in case there are data assets that are not relevant to most users.
By default the Ask AI chatbot has access to all data assets in your instance, including:
Tables and columns
Dashboards and charts
Documentation: Pages, Metrics and Glossary Terms
You can narrow down the available assets
By data source (i.e. Tableau, or Snowflake)
For data wareouse tools: by database and schema
For BI tools: by folder
For documentation in Select Star: All Docs, or by individual document asset
Data Asset rules are treated as additive, so the chatbot will have access to all asset in any of the specified data sources, databases, schemas or folders.
If you remove All from the data access, be sure to add All Docs if you want the chatbot to have access to the pages, metrics and glossary terms that you have added in your instance.
You can further limit the Ask AI chatbot to use only assets tagged with specific tags i.e. Certified, or Gold. This applies on top of the available data assets.
In the below example, the chatbot will have access to
any dashboard and chart in Tableau that have been tagged with Gold or Certified
all pages, metrics, glossary terms in Select Star that have been tagged with Gold or Certified
the tables and columns in the OLIST.DATASETS schema that have been tagged with Gold or Certified
