# Ask Formo

> Ask questions about your analytics data in natural language and get AI-generated SQL queries, charts, and growth insights without writing code.

Agentic analytics for onchain apps is now available on Formo! You can ask **Ask Formo** (the AI assistant) to help you explore your data and surface hidden insights.

Agentic analytics help lower the barrier of entry to understanding data. AI agents can act as autonomous teammates. They will generate queries, explore patterns, surface anomalies, and recommend actions, all grounded in context about your app and driven by real data.

Ask Formo can help you explore your data without needing to know SQL or complex analytics queries. Simply describe what you want to understand, and the AI will generate the appropriate analysis.

## How it works

The Ask Formo feature provides an intelligent analytics assistant that can:

* **Generate queries**: Ask questions in natural language and get SQL queries automatically generated
* **Explore patterns**: Discover trends and patterns in your data that might not be immediately obvious
* **Surface anomalies**: Identify unusual behavior or outliers in your metrics
* **Recommend actions**: Get actionable insights and recommendations based on your data
* **Build charts**: Create [custom charts](/features/product-analytics/charts) and save them to your dashboard
* **Text to SQL**: Write and fix SQL code based on your instructions

## Access Ask Formo

Use Ask Formo from anywhere on the dashboard. Ask it any question about your data, or ask it to draw custom charts for your dashboard.

## Use cases

### Data exploration

Ask Formo can help you explore your data without needing to know SQL or complex analytics queries. Simply describe what you want to understand, and the AI will generate the appropriate analysis.

### Pattern recognition

The AI can identify trends, seasonality, and patterns in your user behavior, transaction data, and conversion metrics that might be difficult to spot manually.

### Anomaly detection

Get alerts about unusual spikes, drops, or changes in your key metrics, along with potential explanations for what might be causing them.

### Actionable insights

Beyond just showing you data, Ask Formo provides context and recommendations for what actions you might take based on the insights discovered.

## Best practices

* **Be specific**: The more specific your questions, the better the AI can help you
* **Provide context**: Mention time periods, [user segments](/features/wallet-intelligence/segments), or specific metrics you're interested in
* **Follow up**: Ask follow-up questions to dive deeper into interesting findings
* **Validate insights**: Always review the AI's findings and validate important insights with your domain knowledge
* **Specify time ranges**: Use "in the last 7 days" instead of "recently"
* **Name metrics clearly**: Use "daily active wallets" instead of "users"
* **Include thresholds**: Use "net worth > \$10,000" instead of "wealthy users"
* **Ask for comparisons**: Use "Compare X to Y" instead of "Show me X"
