"LaKeel BI" Automates Analysis Report Creation Through Dialogue with AI

Lakeel Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tsutomu Kubo; hereinafter referred to as "Lakeel") is pleased to announce the integration of an "Analysis Report Creation AI Agent" into its data analysis and BI tool for large enterprises, "LaKeel BI".

Lakeel has previously proposed "LaKeel Blu" as a mechanism to streamline the upstream processes of system development using AI. By extending this "LaKeel Blu" AI technology to "LaKeel BI," it is now possible to rapidly create screens and reports, and make specification changes, solely through dialogue with AI. This resolves the issue of BI tool operations becoming siloed and provides an environment where anyone can easily build the screens and reports they need.

Background and Objective: The Industry-Wide Challenge of "Siloed Operations" in BI Tool Management

As DX is promoted in many companies, the importance of BI tools that highly visualize and analyze accumulated management and operational data continues to grow. Lakeel's "LaKeel BI" has been adopted by many customers who appreciate its ability to perform advanced analysis and report creation that meets the complex and diverse requirements of businesses, compared to other BI tools.

However, while it enables advanced settings and the construction of complex screens and reports, the following challenges have become apparent in many companies:

Siloed operations in screen and report creation: Reports needed by multiple departments are newly created or their layouts are modified and changed, and specifications become a black box due to the transfer or retirement of the person in charge.

Lack of transparency in setting backgrounds: The intent behind past drill-down or data extraction logic is not recorded, leading to the obsolescence of existing assets.

Increased training costs: Significant time is required to train new personnel unfamiliar with the tool, such as for setting up data import from new systems.

Key Features and Characteristics of "LaKeel BI × LaKeel Blu" Integration

The AI agent for analysis report creation autonomously supports everything from requirements definition to screen and report generation.

1. Automatic Generation and Intuitive Editing of Screens and Reports via Natural Language (Dialogue)

Simply by instructing the AI agent's chat screen with natural language, such as "Create a report like this," the AI interprets the intent and autonomously generates a requirements definition file. Furthermore, it flexibly responds to additional requests such as "Change the header color to the corporate color red" or "Place the company logo" through dialogue alone. No SQL or specialized code writing is required.

2. Requirements Definition and Mock-up Prototyping from Current Specifications (PDF, Excel, etc.)

By simply inputting text information such as current business manuals and system specifications, as well as screenshots of existing specification data (PDF, images, Excel, etc.) into the AI, the AI organizes the current and ideal information.

It rapidly prototypes screens and reports that can be expressed in BI as mock-ups. Users simply confirm, modify, and approve the creation policy presented by the AI to complete the process.

3. Visualization and Transmission of Craftsmanship (Tacit Knowledge) through the Combination of "Three Types of Knowledge"

In addition to general industry knowledge and design patterns held by the AI, a knowledge base is built by combining corporate "internal documents and regulations" and the "judgment criteria and operational knowledge" of experienced personnel, which are tacit knowledge. This allows the AI to always present the rationale behind settings, such as "Why is this data extraction logic used?" thereby preventing BI tools from becoming obsolete.

Specific Outcomes (Quantitative and Qualitative Effects) Brought About by Implementation

Significant reduction in lead time for screen and report creation: The work that traditionally involved interviewing user departments is expected to see a reduction in man-hours by up to 80% through dialogue with AI.

Reduction in rework for requirements definition: Since the AI instantly creates prototypes (mock-ups) from natural language and existing images, discrepancies in understanding between user departments and IT departments are dramatically reduced, preventing rework in screen and report creation tasks.

Improved business continuity and knowledge accumulation: The process and history of who created or modified screens and reports and with what intent are accumulated as knowledge on the AI side, ensuring the reproducibility and transparency of operations even when personnel change.

Reduction in training costs: Since there is no need to learn BI functions or data specifications, the difficulty for newly assigned personnel to become proficient is reduced, significantly lowering startup costs.

Future Outlook

LaKeel BI has already been providing "LaKeel BI Concierge," an AI function that deepens data analysis and derives insights in a chat format, since 2024. With the recent enhancement of AI functions covering everything from requirements definition to screen and report creation, it contributes to improved productivity for both the IT department managing the BI tool and the user departments utilizing it. Lakeel aims to support companies' AI Transformation (AX) by striving for a world where everyone can enjoy the benefits of advanced data analysis without specialized knowledge.
