Universal AI Insights Platform

Intelligent Multi-Model Orchestration for Cross-Industry Analytics

An adaptive analytics engine powered by intelligent LLM routing that delivers instant insights across any industryβ€”from retail to healthcare, finance to manufacturing. Features unified semantic layer, automated KPI discovery, predictive forecasting, and cost-optimized AI orchestration that routes simple queries to GPT-4.1 and complex analysis to GPT-5, reducing operational costs by 75% while maintaining enterprise-grade accuracy.

The Challenge

Critical barriers to universal analytics adoption

πŸ”’

Analytics platforms are industry-specific and require extensive customization - what works for retail doesn't work for healthcare, creating silos.

⏳

Business teams need instant insights but data teams are bottlenecked - weeks of dashboard building for questions that should take seconds.

πŸ’Έ

AI costs spiral out of control when using GPT-5 for everything - even simple queries consume expensive tokens unnecessarily.

πŸ“Š

No single source of truth - different departments use different KPI definitions causing conflicting reports and decision paralysis.

Data Flow: Question to Predictive Insight

11-step journey with intelligent routing optimization

1
Business User Query
Executive asks via mobile app:
"Show me Q4 sales performance and predict Q1 revenue"
Mobile Interface
2
Semantic Layer Interpretation
Universal Semantic Layer translates business concepts to technical metrics:
  • "Q4 sales" β†’ [Sales].[Revenue] WHERE Quarter = 4 AND Year = 2024
  • "performance" β†’ YoY comparison + trend analysis required
  • "predict Q1" β†’ Forecasting model needed
Multi-step analysis required (historical + predictive)
3
Intelligent Query Routing (The Core Innovation)
Router analyzes query complexity and selects optimal models:
  • Query Type: Hybrid (descriptive + predictive)
  • Complexity: High (multi-step reasoning)
  • Data Volume: 12 months (500K rows)
  • User Role: Executive (needs high accuracy)
Step 1: GPT-4.1 - €0.030
Step 2: GPT-5 - €0.045
Step 3: Azure ML + GPT-o3 - €0.120
Total Cost: €0.195
Naive Approach (all GPT-5): €0.450
Savings: 63%
4
Historical Data Retrieval

  • Algorithm: Prophet + ARIMA ensemble
  • Validation: MAPE = 4.2% (excellent)
  • Prediction: €7.8M (±€0.3M confidence)
Reasoning (GPT-o3): "Forecast assumes continued EMEA expansion at current pace. Risk: Economic slowdown could reduce by 10-15%. Opportunity: New product launch (Feb) could add €500K."
Processing Time: 8.5 seconds | Model Cost: €0.120
7
