Enable Data for Agents

Before you can use data to create an agent, you must enable it for AI. This pre-processing ensures seamless integration and processing of relevant data for AI functionality like natural language querying, predictive analytics, and advanced insights. The cube is enriched with automatically-generated descriptions of the cube itself and each column, providing the context needed for your agent. Enabling a dataset for AI ensures that the data is well-organized, detailed, and ready to answer your agent's questions.

You can enable the following data types:

  • Structured datasets

  • Unstructured datasets, including PDF, Microsoft Word, HTML, markdown, and text files

  • Data models, including Mosaic models

Because you enable only the datasets that are relevant for your agents, you avoid overloading the system by processing all datasets. This also ensures your users build agents on AI-ready datasets that are relevant, secure, and come from a trusted source.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the Administer Cubes and Create and Configure Unstructured Data privileges.

  • Cognitive Search must be running, which helps Workstation identify which datasets meet the requirement lists below.

  • The dataset must be an MTDI cube, an In-memory OLAP cube, a live intelligent cube, a subset report without prompts, or a data model, including a Mosaic model. The MTDI cube can contain a single table or multiple tables. Unstructured datasets are also eligible.

    • A subset report is based on a single cube. That cube must be an MTDI cube or OLAP cube.

    • A Mosaic model can be in-memory or connected live.

  • The dataset must be published before you can enable it.

    • Live Mosaic models do not need to be published.

Enable Data

  1. Open the Workstation page.

  2. In the Navigation pane, click Data.

  3. Select the tab for the data type you are enabling:

    • Datasets

    • Unstructured Data

    • Mosaic Models

  4. Right-click the dataset and select Enable for AI.

    • If you do not see this option, the Prerequisites have not been met.

    • If the dataset is not published, a message displays. Click OK then publish the cube before trying again.

    5. During pre-processing, a loading icon displays. The system ingests the information and prepares it so it can be used to answer questions. Once the process is complete, the dataset displays the Enabled for AI icon .

  5. If the dataset could not be enabled, the dataset displays an error icon . Hover over the error icon to display a message about the failure.

  6. You can disable the dataset for AI, if it should no longer be used for agents. Right-click the dataset and select Disable for AI.
