Ask

The first step in Adapt’s Ask-Understand-Act framework. Ask any question about your business in natural language—no SQL, no dashboards, no complex queries.

How It Works

Simply type your question as you would ask a colleague:

Why did revenue drop last quarter?

Which customers are most likely to churn?

What's our top-performing marketing channel?

Adapt’s AI agent interprets your question, identifies which data sources to query, and gathers the information needed to provide a comprehensive answer.

Follow-Up Questions

Adapt maintains context throughout your conversation. After getting an initial answer, drill deeper: Initial question:

What were our top-performing campaigns last month?

Follow-ups:

Why did the email campaign outperform others?

Break that down by audience segment

Compare it to the same campaign last year

What should we do differently next month?

Multi-Part Questions

Ask complex questions that require multiple analyses:

Compare our Q4 performance to Q3, identify the
biggest changes, and explain what drove them

Find customers who haven't logged in for 30 days,
check their support history, and flag any that
might be at risk of churning

Adapt will break these down into steps and address each part.
