With new AI capabilities, Spotter 3 blends structured and unstructured data, reasons like your best analyst, and turns every question into confident action.
The Million Dollar Problem in Every Data Stack
Despite millions invested in modern data stacks, most business questions—such as, “Why are renewals stalling in my top accounts?” or “Which suppliers will delay next quarter’s shipments?”—still can't be answered. This isn’t because the answers don’t exist, but because the data required is scattered across an unstructured landscape that legacy BI tools were never designed to navigate.
According to IDC research, 90% of business data is unstructured—scattered across Slack conversations that reveal the broader story, CRM notes that capture how customers feel, and support tickets that flag the early warning signs everyone missed. Yet, these insights remain siloed and accessible only to those who know exactly where to look—if they have time to look at all.
When 90% of your data is invisible to BI, you’re making million-dollar decisions with only an ounce of the context you need. In turn, stories are stripped of human context, analysts are overwhelmed by bottlenecks, and strategies—that often arrive too late—rest on shaky assumptions. To break that cycle, analytics has to evolve.
Evolving to Develop the Whole Picture
When it comes to breaking legacy BI limitations, ThoughtSpot is a leader. It all started with the launch of Spotter, the AI analyst that redefined how you access insights—bringing conversational AI insights to data, eliminating dashboard sprawl, and delivering enterprise-grade answers in seconds.
In the second iteration, Spotter 2 introduced agentic capabilities that autonomously select the right skill—whether it’s complex calculations, "why" questions, or deep research—to deliver the right analysis when and where you need it.
But even with those innovations, you kept asking one key question: What about the 90% of data that lives outside my warehouse? In our recent product spotlight, we introduced the answer.
Meet Spotter 3—Your Smartest Agent Yet
From our September launch through December, Spotter 3 will roll out three core AI capabilities—raising its intelligence and breaking legacy BI boundaries that have limited analytics for decades.
1. Blend Structured and Unstructured Data
For the first time, an analytics platform can seamlessly blend your structured warehouse data with the unstructured business context living in Slack, Salesforce, Jira, SharePoint, and beyond.
Spotter 3 acts as an MCP host to access unstructured insights from the applications and tools your teams use every day. Collaboration threads, CRM notes, support tickets, and documents now live alongside your structured data in a single conversational experience. That means leaders no longer have to hunt across systems or settle for decisions based on a fraction of the truth.
What This Means For You:
Complete context: Every answer reflects both structured data and the unstructured context around it.
Less manual work: No more chasing information across multiple tools.
Smarter decisions: Insights are grounded in the full story, not just siloed metrics.
2. New Skills, Smarter Results
While most legacy BI tools are confined to only answering questions based on structured datasets, Spotter 3 introduces new skills to solve complex strategy questions and emerging use cases. Not only does your agent know where to look, but it’s also able to generate code, detect anomalies, and conduct predictive end-to-end analysis to deliver answers legacy BI tools can’t provide.
This leap in intelligence is powered by entirely new skills. Spotter 3 now generates Python code on the fly to transparently run advanced analysis—like clustering or regression analysis—and then explains the results in natural language. In addition, it auto-selects the right models for the problem at hand, forecasts outcomes, and recommends next best steps—all while producing rich, comprehensive summaries.
What This Means For You:
Faster answers: Advanced analysis delivered in minutes, not weeks
Smarter teams: Predictive insights available to every user, not just specialists
Confident decisions: Shift from reactive reporting to proactive, actionable insights
3. Reasons Like an Analyst
Great analysts don’t just deliver an answer—they double-check their work, ask follow-up questions, and refine their conclusions until the recommendation is rock solid. Spotter 3 now reasons in the same way by being data-aware.
With every query, Spotter evaluates every assumption, checks its results, detects potential errors, and reruns the analysis until the output is precisely accurate. Like your best analyst—Spotter clearly describes each result, suggests intelligent next questions you might not think to ask, guides you deeper into solving any strategic problem, and delivers clear, in-depth reports.
What This Means For You:
Enhanced accuracy: Spotter self-corrects and validates before you act
Deeper exploration: Smarter suggestions guide users toward analyst-level insights
Clear communication: Rich, natural language summaries make results easy to share
Stronger outcomes: Every answer is backed by context and recommendations, improving org-wide intelligence
Deliver Boundaryless Insights in the Most Intelligent Era
Business cycles move faster than traditional analytics can keep up. Incomplete information doesn’t just slow you down—it puts your business at risk. The leaders who win will be the ones who can see across their entire data landscape, reason through complexity, and take real-time actions based on trusted insights. That’s the power of ThoughtSpot.
By blending structured and unstructured data, applying advanced skills automatically, and reasoning like your best analyst, Spotter 3 transforms your data into a competitive advantage. Now you can get a complete, validated recommendation in minutes—instead of waiting weeks for piecemeal answers.
