The AI Highlights window opens and displays a summary of the changes in your KPIs. The information is organized into expected and unexpected changes based on the confidence band that’s generated using ThoughtSpot’s anomaly detection engine. If your KPI value goes outside the bounds, it’s classified as an unexpected change. If it doesn’t, it’s classified as an expected change.

To get more detail about a KPI change, click the card associated with the change, and the window expands to provide more information.
At the bottom of the expanded AI Highlights window, you can let ThoughtSpot know if the information was useful.

How AI Highlights are generated

The KPIs are organized into expected and unexpected changes based on the confidence band that’s generated using ThoughtSpot’s anomaly detection engine. If your KPI value goes outside the bounds, it’s classified as an unexpected change; otherwise it’s classified as an expected change.
