After purchasing and activating Intelligent Analysis Agent, Intelligent Analysis Agent currently provides you with a general agent (default name: DataAgent). You can directly use the pre-configured general agent to consult on issues, and you can also create and configure custom agents. This article will guide you through quickly using both the general agent and custom agents, and completing analysis tasks with the general agent.
To learn about the comparison between the two, refer to Agent Type Description: General & Custom Agents.
Prerequisites
The following conditions are required to use the general agent:
- Account and permissions: You need to have a valid platform account and be successfully logged in to the system; please ensure your account has been granted permission to use the general agent. If not yet enabled, contact your system administrator.
- Understand the data: Connect relevant data or upload files, and briefly describe the background or source of the core business data connected to the Intelligent Analysis Agent.
Create a project
- After purchasing the Intelligent Analysis Agent service, log in to the DataAgent interface using your account and password.
- After entering the product page, select the corresponding region, click the New Project button at the top right of the page, fill in the project name, select the project administrator, and fill in the reason for creation field. When finished, click the Confirm button.

- After creating the project, set project information, add users, and grant permissions in the project center.

Quick start for the general agent
- After authorization is complete, click the Agent button at the top of the page to enter the agent usage interface.
- In the left navigation bar of the Intelligent Analysis Agent usage interface, you can see all agents you have permission to access and use in the current region. Click the agent name to enter the agent.

- In the central dialog in the agent interface, use the Q&A service and click the Connect data button in the lower right corner to upload a data source. After the data source is uploaded, enter the task description in the dialog. In addition, the following features are available:
- Select whether to enable internet access: When internet access is enabled, the agent retrieves the latest information from the internet in real time and analyzes it based on the latest information. To disable internet access, click the internet access button again. If the button is grayed out, internet access is disabled.
- Configure extended capabilities: The general agent allows you to select and configure different extended capabilities as needed (multiple selections supported). The following is an explanation of extended capability configuration.

Expansion capability configuration name | Note |
|---|
Formula breakdown | Break down complex metric calculation formulas or business logic into basic calculation steps and sub-items, clearly displaying the logical structure and calculation process of the metric. For example, breaking down "Gross profit margin = (Operating revenue - Operating cost) / Operating revenue" into "operating revenue composition, operating cost details, and proportion calculation logic" helps users understand the underlying principles of the metric, making it easier to verify and optimize. |
Related metric analysis | Focusing on the core metrics of the current issue, automatically associate and analyze related business metrics upstream, downstream, and in similar scenarios to form a comprehensive business analysis perspective. For example, when analyzing "sales revenue", simultaneously display related metrics such as "average transaction value, conversion rate, repurchase rate, and channel share" to help users comprehensively evaluate business performance. |
Dimension attribution | Conduct attribution analysis on metric fluctuations or differences from multiple dimensions, such as time, region, channel, user segmentation, and product category, to identify the key dimensions and subgroups affecting metric changes. For example, when sales revenue decreases year-over-year, dimension attribution reveals that the "East China region offline channel" is the main drag, providing precise direction for decision-making. |
Anomaly detection | Automatically identify abnormal fluctuations, outliers, or sudden changes in data sequences that do not conform to historical patterns, mark and prompt abnormal events. For example, when order volume surges or drops sharply during a certain period, or when the conversion rate deviates significantly from the threshold, promptly issue alerts to help users quickly locate potential issues (such as campaign impact, system failures, external events, and more). |
Formula attribution | Based on the calculation formula of the metric, quantitatively break down the contribution of each component to the overall metric change, clarifying the influence weight of each factor. For example, when profit increases year-over-year, quantify via formula attribution that "revenue growth contributes 60% and cost reduction contributes 40%", accurately identifying the core factors driving metric changes. |
- After uploading the data source and providing the task description for the general agent, click the send button and wait for the agent to execute the task.
- The task execution time will vary depending on the complexity of the task. Please wait patiently. After the task is completed, the general agent will return the execution result, which you can view in the dialog. Analysis results are available in two types: Web version and Document format. You can click the corresponding button type to view different types of analysis results.
There are several operations you can perform on the analysis results. The following are illustrations and descriptions of the related operation items.
