It combines data prep, business analytics, and data science with an AI-driven, governed self-service experience, making it accessible to users of all technical skill levels.
Key Features
Data Preparation and Modeling
The platform includes a robust data preparation module, known as the “Model” module, which allows users to prepare data and build data models using a drag-and-drop interface. This module features a Business User ETL, machine learning marketplace, in-memory database engine, and support for various data modeling formats such as native in-memory, Microsoft Tabular, SQL databases, and big data engines.
AI-Driven Analytics
Pyramid leverages AI and machine learning extensively. The “Discover” module enables users to run fast queries on large datasets, perform visualizations, and use statistical analysis tools. Key AI-driven features include the “Explain” and “Explain the Difference” functions, which use machine learning to provide holistic insights and explain anomalies and differences between data points. The Smart Discover feature auto-analyzes data, and the Chat Bot assists in report-building and data discovery using natural language.
Visualization and Presentation
The platform offers over 200 visualization options and a Smart Visualization engine that helps users build data visualizations without requiring traditional analytics and BI actions. The “Illustrate” and “Present” modules facilitate the creation and presentation of analytical content, including automated data visualizations and dashboard designs generated using natural language prompts.
Advanced Analytics and Decision Modeling
The “Formulate” module allows users to formulate custom expressions, lists, and key performance indicators (KPIs) using a drag-and-drop interface. The “Tabulate/Solve” module enables the building of complex business and decision models with logic waterfalls, conditions, and decision points, and it also provides machine-generated prescriptive analytics and decisions.
Scalability and Performance
Pyramid is designed with large-scale enterprises in mind, ensuring that the platform scales with the business. It features a super-fast direct query engine that provides instant access to any data at any scale, making it ideal for handling large datasets.

Natural Language Processing and ChatGPT Integration
Pyramid integrates ChatGPT to generate SQL, DAX, MDX queries, and Python or R machine-learning logic. Users can build spreadsheet formulas, generate designs for content and graphics, and use natural language to analyze text on enterprise data. This integration simplifies the process of building analytical content and automates storytelling.
Accelerated Data Preparation and Insights
The platform accelerates data preparation by offering features like Smart Modeling, which automates the creation of intricate data models, and Fill In the Blank, which imputes missing values for statistical machine learning model training and time series forecasting. The Recommended Queries feature uses AI to learn from other users’ queries and present dynamic recommendations, saving time and increasing productivity.
In summary, Pyramid Analytics’ Decision Intelligence Platform is a powerful tool that combines advanced analytics, AI-driven insights, and a user-friendly interface to empower organizations to make faster, more informed decisions.
