You’ll then see this page. On the left-hand side, you’ll notice all six of the segments within AI Automated Data Connector:

Capabilities 

Let’s break down what each tab offers. We’ll begin with Imports using Google Ads Integration as an example. You can use Imports for everything importable from the sources available for connection. 

Imports: Google Ads Integration 

By clicking “Imports” from the left-hand column, you’ll be brought to a page that looks like this:

Once there, click “Create Import”: 

From there, the next screen will include options for tools to export data from. To do so, click the “Connect” button next to the app you’d like: 

Make sure to scroll down the page to see all of the tools offered! 

For this example, we are importing Google Ads using a demo connection. Once you’ve clicked “Connect” for Google Ads, your page will look somewhat like this: 

In this case, the title of the project is “Google Ads (Demo) [Ads].”

Here are the steps to follow in order to generate your data: 

Step 1: Select your time frame 

Choose which dates you’re looking to import data from by clicking the calendar icon: 

Select from as recent as yesterday to as long as two years ago. 

Step 2: Customize your table

You’ll have three options for customizing under the “Customize table” tab, featured in the upper-right corner of your screen:

1. Choose how your table is categorized under the “Breakdowns” tab:

Step 4: Export your data

AI ChatGPT Copilot for your Data

Copilot is like having an AI analyst for your data. It can answer questions based on previously connected data or CSV/Excel files that you've uploaded.

It cand give you both general answers, such as total spend or total revenue, as well as datasets, such as combining and aggregating data from two different sources.

Additionally, you can ask questions specific to your own data, such as "What is my most profitable category?"

You can access the Copilot feature from Home by clicking on the Ask AI button or using the dedicated Copilot option on the main left menu.

When you start a new chat, you can either start typing your question right away or use the ready-made prompts above the Message Copilot input field.

For example, the Finance section includes prompts like Find growth, For every client show the first and the last month on the record, and Create a P&L.

There are two roles available for the Copilot: Data Analyst and Generalist. 

Data Analyst: In this role, Copilot focuses on numerical data analysis. It provides accurate calculations and can handle extensive datasets.
Generalist: In this role, Copilot can address a broader range of open-ended questions. However, the accuracy of the calculations may vary, and the volume of data it can process is limited.

To find your previous chats or start a new one, unfurl the Chats menu hidden in the upper right corner of the interface.
