“We’ve taught AI what BI is.” That’s how Brad Peters, CEO and Founder of Scoop Analytics, describes the company’s latest breakthrough: an AI Agent for Slack that delivers data scientist-level insights directly within team conversations—no dashboards, no delays, no analysts required.
Launched today, the Scoop AI Agent is the first analytics AI to feature deep multi-step reasoning, performing dozens of analytical queries automatically to investigate complex business questions in real time. It represents a major leap beyond the surface-level summaries and one-shot answers offered by most GenAI tools.
“It’s freaking amazing to watch someone ask ‘Why did revenue drop?’ and get a complete breakdown like a top-tier analyst produced it,” said Peters.
Traditional business intelligence (BI) tools require technical skills, dedicated dashboards, and time-consuming workflows. Scoop flips that model by embedding real data intelligence into the flow of work—specifically, Slack.
“Slack is where decisions happen,” Peters emphasized. “Now, it’s also where insights happen.”
Key Capabilities:
- Multi-Step Reasoning Engine: Automatically performs 5–20+ sequential queries to analyze a single business question across time, geography, customer segments, product SKUs, and more.
- Root Cause Analysis: Goes beyond the “what” to deliver the “why”—and recommends next best actions based on actual data.
- No Context Switching: Ask questions in plain English directly in Slack and get dynamic, context-aware responses instantly.
- Reusable Queries + Presentation Mode: Save any question for reuse or auto-generate PowerPoint-ready decks for exec briefings and team updates.
- Enterprise-Grade Security: Fully SOC 2 Type II certified with channel-based access control and data isolation.
Built to Replace Dashboards—Not Analysts
Most analytics tools assume you know exactly what to ask and how to query your data. Scoop’s AI Agent reimagines that by acting like a smart analyst that proactively explores possible causes, correlations, and drivers of change—no prompt engineering needed.
This unlocks new value for:
- Product teams asking why user engagement dropped
- Finance teams digging into margin anomalies
- Sales leaders tracking funnel conversion trends
- Executives checking KPI health across business lines
“Other AI tools give you generic advice. Scoop gives you a root-cause investigation and tells you what to do next,” said Peters.
Enterprise-Ready, Zero Setup
Despite its consumer-like simplicity, the Scoop AI Agent is built for enterprise-grade deployment:
- No IT configuration required
- SOC 2 Type II compliant
- Integrates with major data warehouses
- Adapts securely to each Slack channel’s access level
A New Category of AI-Native BI
Scoop’s launch isn’t just a product—it signals the emergence of a new category: “Conversational, investigative analytics.” It closes the gap between raw data and business decision-making by giving teams a real-time, intelligent layer that investigates, explains, and advises—all from within Slack.
“They’re not building a better BI tool,” said Yousuf Khan, Partner at Ridge Ventures. “They’re redefining what business intelligence is.”
