Qlik Product · Answers
Ask questions in natural language and get reliable, traceable answers from both your structured data and unstructured documents. No hallucinations — only explainable AI on your own source data.
Qlik Answers is an AI-driven knowledge assistant that brings conversational analytics to your entire data landscape. Instead of navigating dashboards and setting filters, users ask questions in plain language and receive trustworthy answers directly. The platform combines three sources in one interface: structured data from Qlik Sense apps via the associative engine, unstructured documents (PDF, Word, SharePoint) that get indexed and searchable, and LLM reasoning that translates questions to the right source and formulates a clear answer. Result: a governed AI experience where every answer is traceable to source data, with access control via Qlik Cloud Section Access and complete audit trail.
Use cases
Qlik Answers works across structured and unstructured sources. cimt configures knowledge sources, governance settings and user adoption.
| Use case | Data source | Example question |
|---|---|---|
| Self-service data exploration | Qlik Sense apps (structured) | "What was our Q3 revenue by region?" |
| Document Q&A | PDF, Word, SharePoint (unstructured) | "What does our privacy policy say about data retention?" |
| Combined analysis | Structured + unstructured | "Compare our SLA performance against contract terms" |
| Onboarding & training | Knowledge base documents | "How does our purchase order approval process work?" |
Governed AI
Where generative AI tools like ChatGPT can hallucinate, Qlik Answers offers a governed experience designed for enterprise use and compliance.
Every answer includes a direct link to the underlying data or source document.
Users only see answers based on data they're authorised for via Qlik Cloud Section Access.
All questions and answers are logged for compliance and governance.
Your data doesn't leave the Qlik Cloud environment — no external LLMs are trained on your business data.
This approach aligns with DAMA DMBoK principles for data governance and makes Qlik Answers suitable for organisations with strict compliance requirements (GDPR, EU AI Act).
