AI Analytics, the Shift to Predictive and Conversations
AI Analytics, the Shift to Predictive and Conversations
AI analytics is a fascinating and rapidly evolving field that combines artificial intelligence and data analysis to provide deeper insights and more accurate predictions. The integration of AI into analytics allows for the processing of vast amounts of data at unprecedented speeds, identifying patterns, and generating actionable insights that can drive strategic decision-making. This blog discusses the trend toward AI-based Predictive analytics and a new way of interacting with apps via a conversational interface.
When comparing traditional analytics to AI analytics, one key distinction lies in the methodology and the nature of the insights generated. Traditional analytics typically involves generating reports that correlate different segments of data, which human analysts must then scrutinize to draw meaningful conclusions. This process can be time-consuming and heavily reliant on the analyst’s expertise and experience to interpret the data correctly.
Traditional analytics report on what happened. With Predictive AI-based analytics, a user can get a glimpse into what might happen in the future – as the AI uses the data it has to make a prediction. For example, managers can see what the forecast might be for this month – with the AI providing a probability of making the forecast.
The Future of Reporting and Analytics is Conversational
Instead of interfacing with a reporting engine, Aragon feels that in the future, users can ask questions and the application can then display the report or more importantly the Dashboard. By using engineered prompts, AI can generate insights and conclusions that are not only faster but often more accurate and comprehensive than those derived from traditional methods. This shift allows businesses to make data-driven decisions more efficiently and with greater confidence in the results.
Benefits of AI-Based Analytics
One of the primary benefits of AI analytics is its ability to handle large and complex datasets that traditional methods might struggle with. By employing deep learning algorithms, advanced statistical techniques, and generative AI, AI analytics can uncover hidden correlations, predict future trends, and optimize processes across various industries.
The expected growth of AI analytics will be higher than most markets and while there is the entire BI category – expect to see more embedding of AI based analytics into applications we use every day. As industries increasingly recognize the value of data-driven decision-making, the demand for sophisticated AI analytics tools is set to surge.
Market research projects that the AI analytics market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 30% in the coming years, driven by advancements in machine learning algorithms, increased data availability, and the need for real-time insights.
Organizations are rapidly adopting AI analytics to stay competitive, streamline operations, and unlock new revenue streams. This widespread adoption is not limited to large corporations; small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also leveraging these technologies to gain a competitive edge. The democratization of AI analytics tools, coupled with the declining costs of implementation, is facilitating this growth across various sectors.
Use Cases for AI Analytics
Moreover, AI analytics is transforming sectors such as healthcare, finance, marketing, and supply chain management by enabling personalized medicine, fraud detection, targeted advertising, and efficient inventory management, respectively. As AI technology continues to advance, the potential applications and impact of AI analytics will undoubtedly expand, offering even greater opportunities for innovation and growth.

I Feel the Next Two Paragraphs are Optional
Several major providers are leading the charge in AI analytics, offering innovative solutions that leverage advanced machine learning and AI technologies. Companies such as IBM, with its Watson platform, Google Cloud’s AI and machine learning tools, Microsoft Azure’s AI capabilities, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) with its AI and machine learning services, are at the forefront of this transformation.
These tech giants provide robust AI analytics platforms that cater to a wide range of industries and use cases, enabling organizations to harness the power of AI to extract valuable insights from their data.
Smaller, specialized companies also play a pivotal role in advancing AI analytics. Firms like DataRobot, H2O.ai, and RapidMiner offer unique solutions that allow businesses to build, deploy, and manage machine learning models with ease. These providers focus on making AI analytics accessible to organizations of all sizes, fostering innovation, and driving forward the adoption of AI technologies.
Bottom Line
AI analytics represents a significant advancement over traditional analytics by leveraging deep learning algorithms for faster, more accurate data analysis. This technology enables the handling of large, complex datasets, uncovering hidden correlations, predicting trends, and optimizing processes across various industries.
With this shift from traditional reporting and dashboards, the expectations of business leaders need to change. There is more coming on analytics with AI Agents and we look for more from Aragon in our upcoming Research Agenda.
The AI analytics market is expected to grow rapidly, driven by advancements in machine learning, increased data availability, and the necessity for real-time insights.
