PerciBOT – Conversational AI for Analytics
Ask your data anything.
PerciBOT turns natural language questions into instant insight – no dashboards, no SQL, no waiting on a report. Ask a question. Get an answer, a chart, or a clear explanation of what changed and why.
Key capabilities
What your team asks manually, PerciBOT answers.
How it works
From question to answer, in one step.
PerciBOT converts natural language into the correct query, runs it securely against your data, and returns an answer your team can act on immediately – no technical knowledge required.
- User Query: A business user types a question in plain English – no SQL, no dashboard navigation.
- Anonymisation layer: Sensitive data identifiers are anonymised before leaving the enterprise boundary, if required.
- SQL conversion: PerciBOT automatically converts the natural language query into the correct SQL query.
- Your database: The query runs against your database – SAP Datasphere, data warehouse, or connected source.
- AI models + prompt management: The result passes through aI models and prompt management to generate a clear, business-ready answer.
- Answer delivered: The user receives a text explanation, a table, or a chart – ready to act on.
Built to answer and built to support.
PerciBOT runs two distinct AI agents side by side – one focused on analytics, one focused on SAP functional support.
CORE ENGINE ANALYTICS
Analytical Agent
Answers business questions using live transactional and master data. Delivers insights, trend summaries, and anomaly explanations – accelerating decision-making throughout Finance, Supply Chain, and beyond.
How PerciBOT scales
From internal data querying to external market intelligence.
PerciBOT isn’t a single capability – it’s a journey. As adoption grows, PerciBOT scales from answering questions about your own data to benchmarking your business against the market.
Internal Enterprise Intelligence
STEP 1 INTERNAL
STEP 2 INTERNAL
Data Model Understanding
PerciBOT learns your SAP Datasphere semantic models.
Revenue by region, inventory turnover, purchase order cycle time.
Conversational Memory Stores historic conversations for follow-up context.
“What about last month? / Compare with SVOD” – What about last quarter? / Compare with the previous year”
STEP 3 INTERNAL
Advanced Analytics Reasoning
Summarises data models for deeper diagnostic insights.
“Why did margin drop in Q3?”
External Market Intelligence
STEP 4 EXTERNAL
STEP 5 EXTERNAL
Industry Intelligence
Embeds external knowledge via a Vector DB to enable KPI comparison to industry reports, competitor data, and market benchmarks.
Sources: industry benchmarks, sector reports, market data
Web Intelligence Incorporates real-time web search to gain insights beyond the enterprise boundary.
Sources: Latest manufacturing output trends / commodity price movements
Start with one function. Achieve results quickly.
The recommended approach is to start with a single function, prove value in 3–4 weeks, then expand across SAP S/4HANA functions.

FAQs
What is PerciBOT?
PerciBOT is Percipere’s conversational AI for analytics – an application that lets business users ask questions in natural language and receive instant answers, charts, and explanations, without needing to navigate dashboards or write SQL.
What data sources does PerciBOT connect to?
PerciBOT embeds with any data warehouse. It has been specifically designed to work with SAP DDatasphere for semantic mmodels and can connect to other data sources depending on your landscape.
How does PerciBOT handle sensitive data?
PerciBOT includes an anonymisation layer that masks sensitive data identifiers before any query leaves the enterprise boundary, where required.
What business functions does PerciBOT support?
PerciBOT works across Finance, Supply Chain, Procurement, Sales, HR, and Operations – any function where users currently ask questions manually that could be answered from existing data.
What is the recommended way to start with PerciBOT?
Start with a single business function – for example Procurement or Finance – identify two or three high-value use cases, define success criteria, and run a PoC to validate. Once value is demonstrated, the agent framework can be expanded across other SAP S/4HANA functions.
How does PerciBOT scale from basic analytics to external market intelligence?
PerciBOT is built around a five-step maturity model – from Data Model Understanding and Conversational Memory through Advanced Analytics Reasoning, Industry Intelligence (via Vector DB), and Web Intelligence (real-time external search). Organisations typically start at Step 1 and expand as adoption grows.
Does PerciBOT replace our BI or analytics team?
No. PerciBOT removes the friction of accessing data – so analysts spend less time pulling reports and
more time interpreting results. It is a productivity tool, not a replacement for analytical expertise.
