Analysts Shouldn’t Be SQL Monkeys
As a data analyst, you’re probably flooded with requests that start with:
“Can you quickly pull X for me?”
“What happened to Y segment last week?”
“Do we know why churn increased this month?”
While these questions are fair — they’re also constant. And every “quick check” means diving into your BI tool, filtering metrics, writing SQL, verifying joins, exporting charts, and… not actually doing high-value strategic work.
That’s where Bora AI steps in — as your exploratory assistant.
The Data Team Challenge: Fast Work vs Deep Work
📊 Exploratory tasks eat up your schedule
Segment analysis, funnel breakdowns, churn factors — these take time. And they’re often abandoned when priorities shift.
🧵 Patterns are hard to spot without a hypothesis
Data lakes and dashboards are powerful, but passive. You still have to know what to look for.
💬 Business users expect real-time answers
When PMs or marketers want fast insights, they ping you — but can’t interpret dashboards on their own.
Let’s say your retention numbers dipped this month, and leadership asks for possible churn predictors.
Instead of writing queries or analyzing funnels manually, you ask Bora:
“What user actions are most common in sessions before churn?”
Bora replies:
“95% of churned users visited the pricing page 3+ times without purchase. 40% downgraded from a paid plan in the 30 days prior. Drop-offs spiked after hitting the ‘Compare Plans’ screen.”
It also returns a visual flow chart showing session paths leading to churn.
Outcome:
✅ You identify friction points instantly
✅ You feed features into the retention model
✅ You collaborate with product to test a win-back campaign
All from a single question — no SQL, no Looker dashboards, no waiting on ETL.
