Datasets & connectors

A dataset is a source for analysis. On creation, the system reads its schema and sample data so the Agent can understand it. Connection secrets are stored encrypted and never shown in plaintext.

Create a dataset

Go to Datasets → New → pick a type → enter connection info → test the connection → save. After saving, the status moves through "syncing → connected"; on failure it shows the error with an explanation.

One dataset can be reused across multiple Spaces.

Supported data sources

Improve answer accuracy

  • Fill in column descriptions: adding business meaning to fields makes the Agent's SQL more accurate.
  • Maintain business notes: write table relations and metric definitions in the Space.
  • Re-sync: after connection or schema changes, re-sync so the Agent reads the latest structure.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection test fails: check credentials, network reachability, and that the database / table names are correct.
  • Abnormal status: open the dataset details for the specific error — often expired credentials or a network issue.
