Your Black Friday dashboard is lying. Your data isn’t.

Every retailer walks into January with the same five questions and a dashboard that can’t answer most of them. Your analysts will get there by Valentine’s Day. Or you could just ask.

Same question. No queue. The agent splits the growth, shows its query and suggests the next question to ask.

The five questions every retailer asks in January

Picture the first Monday back. Revenue is up. Everyone is relieved for about four minutes. Then someone asks a real question, and nobody has the answer.

  1. 01Was Black Friday as good as the dashboard says, once you take out the discounts and the returns?
  2. 02Who were all those new customers, and will any of them come back?
  3. 03How many of our shoppers were sent by AI assistants, and what did they do?
  4. 04Which products should we never have put on sale?
  5. 05What do we do differently next year?

Every one of those answers is sitting in your data right now. Getting them out usually means a ticket, a queue and an analyst who is already answering someone else’s question.

The analyst queue. It isn’t anyone’s fault. There are twelve people asking and two people who know where the data lives.
Plus 12% becomes plus 3%. Take out what the discount pulled forward from December and what came back as returns, and you have the true number, plus where it came from.

Keep asking

Analysis is rarely one question. Each answer leads to the next. Pick a question below, then ask the follow-up. Every answer shows the query behind it and how sure the agent is.

What your dashboard can’t see

Your dashboard shows totals. It shows that revenue went up. It can’t show who bought, why, or whether they will come back.

It also misses a new kind of shopper. Many shoppers now ask an AI assistant first, then come to your site already decided and buy in two clicks. Your dashboard often records that sale as direct traffic, so the AI assistant gets no credit.

The agent finds these shoppers in your own data. It shows which ones AI assistants sent you, what they bought and what they were worth. Then it helps you recognize them, measure them and keep them.

AI assistants also visit your site themselves, and those visits lower your conversion rate. Here is how.

The shoppers AI assistants sent you are the ones your dashboard can’t see.

It shows its work. And it admits when it’s guessing.

Data teams have heard “just ask your data” before. This is what is different.

Every answer comes with the query

The tables it used, how it read the question and exactly what it ran. Your analysts can check every line.

It tells you how sure it is

High, medium or low, with the reason. If the data is incomplete, it says so.

It learns your business

Every answer your team marks right or wrong teaches it what “best customer” or “real margin” means for you.

Your data stays put

It works on your data where it already lives, under the access rules you already have. Your data stays in your systems. Nothing leaves unless you approve where it goes, and every transfer is logged.

Confidence: low. It says what is missing, and lets you choose: an estimate now, or the real number when the data arrives.

It works with whatever you’ve got

No migration and no new platform. The agent connects to the data you already have on Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Azure Synapse, Databricks and Trino, or your own servers. It works on its own or alongside the tools your team already uses.

  • Google BigQuery
  • Snowflake
  • Amazon Redshift
  • Azure Synapse
  • Databricks
  • Trino
  • Your own servers, even fully offline

It’s built with Google’s Gemini and available on Google Cloud Marketplace and Gemini Enterprise. It also runs on Claude, GPT or your own model. Google is one way in, not the only one.

Built on a platform retailers already use

Customer Intelligence is Syntasa’s platform for customer data. The Customer Insights Agent and the Decisioning Agent run on it. Large retailers already use it to understand their customers.
