How AskBiz Generates Answers

When you ask a question, AskBiz:

1. Parses your intent — understands what you're asking and what data is needed

2. Queries your connected data — pulls relevant metrics from your sources

3. Applies AI analysis — uses Claude (by Anthropic) to reason over your data

4. Generates a structured response — with numbers, charts, or a narrative explanation

5. Flags confidence level — indicates how certain the answer is based on data completeness

Answers carry a confidence indicator:

• High confidence — based on complete, recent, directly connected data
• Medium confidence — based on partial data or data older than 30 days
• Low confidence — based on limited data; the answer is directionally useful but verify before acting on it
• Estimate — no directly relevant data; AskBiz is using benchmarks or inference

Always act with appropriate caution on Medium or Low confidence answers for financial decisions.

Answers are only as good as your data. AskBiz shows a data freshness indicator next to any answer derived from synced data:

• 🟢 Synced < 6 hours ago
• 🟡 Synced 6–24 hours ago
• 🔴 Synced > 24 hours ago (manual refresh recommended)

To force a sync, go to /sources and click Sync Now on the relevant connector.

AskBiz is transparent about its limitations:

• It doesn't know about events that happened before your data was connected
• It cannot access data from platforms you haven't connected
• General business knowledge has a knowledge cutoff (mid-2025) for external facts
• Regulatory information is provided as guidance, not legal advice
