Introducing Sharperlight 8: AI assistance for live business reporting

Sharperlight 8 brings AI into the reporting workflow, helping users explore data, build reports, understand results, and reduce the time between question and answer.

Ask

“Explain the change in gross margin by region this month.”

Answer

Gross margin improved in North America, softened in EMEA, and the biggest variance came from discounting on repeat orders. Drill down by customer and product family to isolate the cause.

Ask questions in plain language

Let users start from a business question instead of a technical query.

Build reports faster

Turn guided prompts into live reporting layouts with fewer steps.

Summarise dashboards and reports

Convert large result sets into readable narratives and decisions.

Explain variances and anomalies

Surface the likely driver behind a change instead of just the numbers.

Stay governed

Keep AI within the reporting model so trusted data stays trusted.

Built for the people who need better answers from complex data
