![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Enable AI Data Explorer skills under AI skills for Data and Analytics to give users AI-assisted, shared spaces to explore data.

## Before you begin

The correct Workflow Data Fabric entitlement is required.  
Important:  
These generative AI skills are turned on by default. The skills will be automatically available to appropriate role users for the application. For more information, see [AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-assist-skills-on-by-default&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

The Query Generation skills "analytics query generation" and "analytics insight generation" are required. To support queries on indicator data, the Query Generation skill "analytics query generation for indicators" is required. These skills are active by default. For more information, see [Query Generation skills](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kQLLPRWZjEHggSKZZ4ivVw "Query Generation skills enable users to ask questions in ServiceNow Otto for Platform Analytics applications and receive answers.").

Role required: now_assist_explorer_admin or higher

## About this task

Assign the now_assist_explorer_user role, and activate the AI Data Explorer skills.

## Procedure

1. Grant the now_assist_explorer_user role to users who need to explore data with AI Data Explorer.
2. Navigate to AllAI Admin HubAI Skills.
3. In the product area pane, select Data and AnalyticsAnalytics.
4. In AI skills for Analytics, search for the analytics exploration skill.  

   <br />

5. **Optional:** To see information about the skill, select View details.  
   The information includes the following details:
   * A description of the skill
   * Key benefits
   * Dependencies and other recommended skills, if applicable
6. Select Activate skill.  
   If the skill is already activated, you can deactivate it through the 3-dot menu on the tile. This menu is available only for activated skills. Deactivating the analytics exploration skill deactivates AI Data Explorer for the instance.  

7. Configure the analytics exploration skill.
   1. In the Advanced options page, you can activate record-level analysis, or indicator support.  
      For record-level analysis, you can also set which tables it applies to. For more information, see [Configure record level analysis in AI Data Explorer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/n~TL3L1RuBT8zIOLBLanWQ "Get more detailed answers based on the content of individual records to provide more meaningful insights.") and [Deactivate indicator support](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/S6mLGHLzQSjHObAFUpaprg "AI Data Explorer supports indicators as data sources by default. If you do not want the application to use indicator data on your instance, you can turn this support off.").
   2. Select Save and continue.
   3. In the Define access page, you can add roles who can create and edit explorations in AI Data Explorer.  
      All AI Data Explorer and Query Generation skills should have one role in common. The default role for this skill, now_assist_explorer_user, contains the default Query Generation role, sn_query_gen.user. Any changes you make must preserve the rights of the AI Data Explorer user to access Query Generation skills.
   4. Select Save and continue.
   5. In the Review and activate page, review the settings you made and either go back and change them or select Activate.

   {#activate-aide-explorer__substeps_ukq_phg_zgc}  
   Note:  
   You can come back later and edit the settings for this or any other skill by selecting Edit configuration on the tile of the activated skill.  

8. To enable users to generate recommendations based on the findings in their exploration, turn on the exploration action recommendation skill.  
   You can set the roles that can generate recommendations. The default role is now_assist_explorer_user. This role contains sn_query_gen.user, granting necessary access to Query Generation.
9. To enable users to generate summaries of explorations, turn on the exploration summarization skill.  
   You can set the roles that can generate summaries. Again, the default role is now_assist_explorer_user. This role contains sn_query_gen.user, granting necessary access to Query Generation.
10. To enable users to use AI to help refine text that they write in explorations, activate the refine text in explorations skill.  
    A dialog opens asking you where you want to display the refine text option.
    1. In the Select display page, under Choose where to display, toggle Display on for In-product desktop.
    2. **Optional:** You can set the roles that can use AI to refine texts in their explorations.  
       Again, the default role is now_assist_explorer_user. This role contains sn_query_gen.user, granting necessary access to Query Generation.
    3. Select Save and continue.
    4. Browse the review and select Activate.
