Data Handling - Securing AI in Sisense Intelligence

Sisense Intelligence brings powerful AI capabilities to every layer of the analytics experience. Sisense believes in responsible AI; as such, we are committed to ensuring that these capabilities meet the highest standards for privacy, control, and enterprise-grade data governance. This documentation outlines how Sisense protects your data, manages AI driven workflows and agents, and empowers your organization to use these tools with confidence.

General Principles

• No model training on your data - Sisense never uses your data to train any models.

• Sisense minimizes data exposure and transmits only what is essential to the functioning of its AI features:

• Local architecture first - many Sisense Intelligence features run entirely inside your Sisense environment.

• Governed - System level controls exist for all Sisense Intelligence features, with select features allowing data model, dashboard or widget-level configuration.

Sisense Intelligence Features and Cloud Dependency

Sisense features fall into two categories - Cloud-linked and Local:

• Cloud-linked: Require access to Sisense cloud services including Large Language Models (LLMs) and a Vector database. These features include all of our Generative AI features and their underlying REST APIs.

  • Assistant

  • Narrative

  • Semantic Enrichment

  • Smart Value Matching

  • REST APIs include:

    • /ai/chats/{chatId}
    • /ai/recommendations/query/{sourceId}/{numOfRecommendations}
    • /ai/describe/query
    • /ai/nlg/queryResult
    • /ai/nlq/query/{sourceId}
    • /ai/recommendations/{datamodelId}/table-relations

• Local: Run entirely within the customer environment without cloud dependencies.

  • Explanation

  • Forecast

  • Trend

  • Exploration path

  • Simply Ask (NLQ)*

  • Knowledge Graph**

*Simply Ask will be deprecated in 2026. We recommend using the Assistant feature instead, which provides enhanced conversational capabilities with better contextual understanding.

** The Knowledge Graph is a native Sisense service used to power Sisense Intelligence features such as Explanation and Simply Ask. Each deployment maintains its own instance, and tenant data is isolated.
