May 14, 2024A: Great questions!
1. Columns is lightweight BI which means it does not support data modeling as full BI does. Columns work with a single data source, like a spreadsheet, a CSV, a notion database, an airtable or output of a SQL query to your DB.
Lightweight BI also means you don't need to deal with the heavy part or complexity part of full BI like PowerBI or Tableau, it's simple web-based BI allowing your storytelling your data easily and share it easily.
2. Yes. This part is under enhancement as time goes, use nature language to produce graph, generate summary of a result or produce some design options for your graph, etc.
3. In team plan, you can invite multiple people (clients/guests) into your team workspace, and you can set visibility to make sure them share or operate independently.
4. Yes, prediction is included in Time Series analysis only.
Time series analysis is special handled and designed on Columns - you can check it out here https://docs.columns.ai/docs/tutorial/data/timeseries (a bit out of dated though)

Great insight and thank you for your answers. i have a few more followup questions after youre feedback whenever you have a chance to reply i would appreciate it. See the below
1. For team plans i see limited users counts are users consider admins or anyone that interfaces witht he platform. im my use case i just want to provide a read only dashboard for clients. in my opion thier should be an instance for read only for clients to be able to create thier own account and view data provided by the account owner.
2.when using a bar chart to provvide a data set of the amount of indviduals going inside a store location and outside of a store location on a hourly basis is thier a way to use AI to provide a summary analysis of the data chart produced i was attempting to click on the generate insight option but i dont see any written insights on the data itself.i have booked a quick 15 min call with you tommorow hope to see you then thank you ShawnCao
