Short answer

How can I audit my ThoughtSpot setup with AI?

Your AI uses specific tools to pull lists of active data connections and user group configurations. You get a clear view of your environment without digging through manual menus. This breakdown shows how the data flows from ThoughtSpot to your chat.

Audit outcomes

What you get from an audit

The AI pulls raw configuration data and organizes it for you.

CONNECTIONS

Connection visibility

The AI identifies every active data source. You'll see exactly which databases are currently linked to your ThoughtSpot instance.

PERMISSIONS

Group configuration check

The AI lists all existing user groups. This helps you verify that your permission structures are set up correctly.

REPORTS

Instant status summaries

Instead of manual exports, your AI summarizes the connection and group data into a readable format.
