Enterprise AI agent platform for analytics built around Max, a customizable AI data analyst that answers questions conversationally, identifies performance drivers, executes multi-step research plans, and automates report and deck generation across structured and unstructured data. Its differentiator is Skills: an out-of-the-box RocketSkills library plus Skill Studio, a full development environment (with your own Git and IDE, low-code UX, reusable code blocks, and Bring Your Own Models) for building domain-specific AI analysts that encode a company's own analytical practices. Embeds into Power BI, Slack, Teams, and CRMs.

AnswerRocket is an enterprise AI agent platform for analytics built around Max, a highly customizable AI data analyst. Max answers business questions conversationally, identifies the drivers behind performance changes, and lets users drill into the visualizations and tables it produces, working across both structured data and unstructured sources like documents and PowerPoints in a single conversation. Beyond question answering, Max executes multi-step analytics processes and comprehensive research plans, compressing complex research tasks from weeks to minutes while maintaining analytical rigor, and automates reporting and presentation development with scheduled distribution of reports and decks plus ongoing KPI monitoring. Its distinguishing architecture is Skills: RocketSkills provide an out-of-the-box library covering search, metric drivers, metric trends, competitor performance, and diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analysis, while Skill Studio lets enterprises build custom AI analysts that encode their own approach to data. Skill Studio offers a full development lifecycle (gather requirements, develop, test, deploy) working with the customer's own Git provider and IDE, a low-code interface for analysts, reusable prebuilt code blocks, and Bring Your Own Models so existing machine learning algorithms run inside the Max experience; data scientists can publish specialized algorithms as reusable Skills that any business user can invoke. Onboarding is accelerated by GPT-powered data configuration that automates data classification, definitions, synonyms, and suggested questions, with a data dictionary view exposing available metrics and dimensions. Max embeds into Power BI, Slack, Teams, and CRMs, and ships vertical packages such as Max for Retail. Within the lane, AnswerRocket is the customizable-skills entrant: where conversational tools ship one general analyst, it ships a framework for enterprises to build their own domain-specific ones.
