Which BI tools' AI can read chart logic?

9 of 15 tools do, according to their public docs, and 5 partly.

Yes: Databricks, Snowflake, Omni, Hex, Sigma, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, MotherDuck. Partly: BigQuery, Metabase, Alteryx, Mode, Redshift.

The question we asked: Can the built-in assistant read the calculation behind a chart or table in BI content?

Prompt your agent about thisClaudeChatGPT
Grading standard

The assistant can read the calculation behind a chart or table in BI content: its formula, measure or the query that feeds it. Reading SQL in an editor, worksheet or notebook cell that no chart in BI content uses is partly.
