Setup
No setup required. The Forecasting connection is automatically available to every agent.
Capabilities
- Time series forecasting — Predict future values based on historical trends and patterns in your data. Supports multiple time frequencies including hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly data.
- Anomaly detection — Flag unusual data points in historical time series by fitting prediction intervals and identifying values that fall outside the expected range.
- Confidence intervals — Return prediction ranges alongside point estimates so you can plan for best-case and worst-case scenarios.
- Exogenous variables — Incorporate external factors (such as promotions, holidays, or weather) into forecasts for more accurate predictions.
Key Benefits
- No data science required — Get forecasts from historical data without building or maintaining statistical models.
- Built into any workflow — Include forecasting as a step in any agent, combining it with data retrieval, analysis, and reporting.
- Range-based planning — Confidence intervals give you a realistic spread of outcomes, not just a single number.
- Broad applicability — Apply forecasting to demand planning, financial projections, inventory management, workforce scheduling, or any time-ordered dataset.
