AI Data Explorer overview
The objective of AI Data Explorer is to bring your thoughts into one place by empowering users to explore, generate interesting findings, and collaborate seamlessly. This is achieved through an AI-assisted, interactive exploration that serves as a centralized space for data-driven decision making.
AI Data Explorer can be divided into the following sections:
Exploration list. Expand or hide the list with the show/hide icon 
. The list shows all explorations that you own or that have been shared with you. You can also create exploration with the plus (+) icon.
Title
and action bar. This section includes an
editable title for the exploration, buttons for summarizing the exploration and asking a
question about data, and a More Options menu for sharing and deleting the exploration.
It also shows which other users are currently in the exploration. You can share an
exploration only if you own it or it has been shared with you with sharing rights.
Exploration content. This section displays the results of data
exploration queries. The results typically include a data visualization or list and a
summary of the contents of that visualization or list. The exploration can also include
its purpose or "goal" and any text that the participants have added, such as a
discussion about the results.
