Rippling AI for Analytics

Designing Rippling AI for analytics

Turning questions about company data into reports and dashboards in minutes, not days.

Rippling AI prompt with suggested questions

Sourced from Rippling

Rippling AI turns questions about company data into reports, charts, and dashboards.

My work began leading a winning company hackathon project designed to make business intelligence accessible to non-technical users. The concept grew into Rippling AI and led to US Patent 12,242,994. As Product Design Lead for Data Cloud, Reports, and Dashboards, I led Rippling AI’s reporting and dashboard design from concept to product.

Making answers trustworthy

Rippling AI translates each question into SQL, runs it against live company data with the user’s existing permissions, and links the result to its query and source records.

Fields, filters, charts, and generated SQL show how each answer was built, so people can verify it, ask follow-up questions, and build dashboards.

Designing conversation as a workflow

  1. Ask a question as you would in a conversation.
  2. Review and refine the answer with the agent.
  3. Turn it into a report or dashboard to share and ask follow up questions.

Empower people to harness business intelligence without navigating complex reporting tools.

Patent

I am a co-inventor on US Patent 12,242,994, issued March 4, 2025, Techniques for automatic generation of reports based on organizational data.
