How Ask AstroBee works

​
1. Ask business questions

Type questions the way you’d ask a colleague:
  • “Which marketing channels drive the highest customer lifetime value?”
  • “Show me revenue trends by product category over the last 6 months”
  • “What’s our customer churn rate by industry?“

​
2. Get comprehensive insights

AstroBee provides much more than just numbers:
  • Direct answers to your specific question
  • Business insights about patterns and trends
  • Strategic recommendations for action
  • Visual representations that make data clear

​
3. Continue the conversation

Follow up naturally to dig deeper:
  • “Can you break that down by region?”
  • “How does this compare to last year?”
  • “Which specific campaigns performed best?”

​
What makes Ask AstroBee different

Cross-system insights: Ask questions that span multiple data sources—HubSpot, Stripe, your product database—and get unified answers. Business context: You don’t just get charts and tables. AstroBee provides strategic insights and recommendations based on what the data actually means for your business. No technical barriers: Think in business terms, not technical queries. AstroBee handles all the complex joins, aggregations, and data processing behind the scenes.

​
Getting better results

Use your natural business terminology and be specific about what you want to know. Questions like “What’s our Q3 conversion rate for email campaigns in the healthcare vertical?” work better than vague requests. The more context you provide, the more relevant insights you’ll get. AstroBee understands follow-up questions and can build on previous conversations.
