IBM watsonx BI is IBM's AI agent for business insights. People ask questions about their data in plain language and get answers with visualizations and explanations, grounded in a governed semantic layer and a central metrics catalog. It shows how it interpreted each question, including the data sources, filters, and SQL it used, so answers can be checked.
Also known as: watsonx BI Assistant
watsonx BI sits alongside IBM Cognos Analytics and IBM Planning Analytics and connects to existing data lakehouses and reporting tools, so conversational answers draw on the same governed definitions as your dashboards.
Our analytics modernization practice builds the semantic layer and metrics catalog that watsonx BI depends on, and modernizes Cognos and Planning Analytics environments around it.
