Qlik launches Answers, an AI solution that lets employees ask questions in natural language and receive answers with sources. Launched in February 2026, the product is available globally, but availability in Brazil has not been confirmed. The solution uses architecture layers, including input, routing, response, specialist agents, a conversational analytics layer, a retrieval layer and model access.

This allows the AI to process complex queries and provide contextualized answers. The technology is based on Amazon Bedrock, which supports global scale and meets data sovereignty requirements. Dependence on the Amazon Bedrock platform may limit the solution's flexibility, especially for companies that need greater control over their data. Pricing and availability in Brazil have not yet been announced. The tool is aimed at employees who need to access data with accuracy and context, without requiring advanced technical knowledge.

Qlik Answers uses architecture layers to organize the flow of data and answers. The input layer receives questions in natural language, which are routed to specialist agents. These agents analyze the context and look for answers in the right sources. The conversational analytics layer ensures that answers are clear and relevant. The retrieval layer accesses data models and delivers results with precision. This architecture allows employees without advanced technical knowledge to get fast, reliable answers.

The Amazon Bedrock AI platform underpins this functionality, offering scalability and security for sensitive data. This may limit adoption in regions with data restrictions. Availability in Brazil has not yet been confirmed, but the expectation is that the platform will reach different markets with adequate support.

Jeffrey Li talks about AI built into devices

Jeffrey Li, chief operating officer of Liquid AI Inc., talks about the company's vision of bringing artificial intelligence closer to the user. The technology is based on signals collected from devices to better understand the user's profile and intentions. Li noted that the best form factor for capturing this signal is the devices in our hands, such as phones, watches, cars and other equipment. Qlik Answers replaces traditional analytics with a conversational interface that runs on Amazon Bedrock.
