Tableau Software has acquired ClearGraph, a US startup that enables smart data discovery and data analysis through asking questions in normal conversation (natural language query).
Said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau. “Natural language queries will make it easier for more people to interact with Tableau, whether you’re an executive who needs an answer quickly, or on a mobile phone and want an answer from your data on the move. We’re excited about this acquisition as the ClearGraph team shares our mission and is aligned with our innovation perspectives on conversational analytics.”
ClearGraph’s natural language query technology stores semantic data in knowledge graphs that can expand and learn over time. Accessing and analysing data using ClearGraph requires no technical training, as the system can infer users’ intent through natural language. For example, people could ask questions such as, “Total sales by customers who purchased staples in New York,” then filter to, “orders in the last 30 days,” then group the results by “project owner’s department”.
“We founded ClearGraph because we saw a need to bridge the gap between humans and computers through natural language, especially when it comes to exploring data,” said Andrew Vigneault, CEO of ClearGraph. “Tableau is a natural fit for us because we have similar missions, cultures and genuine desire to help more people around the world access, interact with and get answers from their data.”
As part of the acquisition, ClearGraph employees will join Tableau in its Palo Alto office in the US. The team will be focused on integrating ClearGraph’s underlying technology into Tableau products.
Tableau has more than 61,000 customer accounts and more than 300,000 Tableau Public users.
ClearGraph is used by dozens of customers.
