Whether you\u2019re working with Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI or other Open AI models, this release comes with robust governance controls to help you manage security, usage, performance, and costs.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s New<\/h2>\n<p>Read on to explore how LANSA BI 9.16.1.1 supports faster data exploration, analysis, and presentation. All updates translate into embedded experiences, which means that you can deliver instant insights to your Visual LANSA application users, and they can immediately use them to make smarter business decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>AI-Enabled NLQ<\/h3>\n<p>First off, LANSA BI 9.16.1.1 brings AI-enabled NLQ, making it easier than ever for non-coders to get accurate answers from their data. With this, users don\u2019t even need to learn Guided NLQ syntax rules to ask the platform for specific information. Just ask questions as you would in a human conversation, and the AI will translate them into structured queries. Users also don\u2019t need to master all data columns to request insights, making this especially useful for new and non-technical users.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-NLQ-gif.gif\" data-lightbox=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-NLQ-gif\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-NLQ-gif.gif\" alt=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-NLQ-gif\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AI mode can be easily toggled on or off when querying data. With this update, users also get Suggested Questions to assist with data exploration. The AI automatically generates a list based on the metadata of the underlying dataset. Results can then be saved as reusable reports, added to dashboards, or inserted into data stories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Suggested-Questions-gif.gif\" data-lightbox=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Suggested-Questions-gif\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Suggested-Questions-gif.gif\" alt=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Suggested-Questions-gif\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>AI-Driven Insights with \u201cTell Me About My Data\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Next, LANSA BI 9.16.1.1 upgrades AI-assisted insights generation with Tell Me About My Data (TMAMD) which doesn\u2019t just add GenAI narratives but also brings recommended charts to support deeper analysis. You can use this new capability when building reports, dashboards, and data stories \u2014 just look for this icon <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/search-icon.png\" width=\"20px\" height=\"25px\" \/> to get started.<\/p>\n<p>This update generates plain language explanations to help understand trends, anomalies, and key drivers. Depending on your configuration, it can also compare and analyze data against a broader set for richer insights.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tell-Me-About-My-Data-gif.gif\" data-lightbox=\"Tell-Me-About-My-Data-gif\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tell-Me-About-My-Data-gif.gif\" alt=\"Tell-Me-About-My-Data-gif\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The AI-recommended visualizations will be rendered in LANSA BI as reusable and interactive charts. This significantly reduces the manual work required to create reports, variations, and presentations, allowing users to focus on analysis, collaboration, and decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to governance, LANSA BI has built-in machine learning that analyzes the data before sending summaries to the external AI model. Detailed dataset records are not transmitted, and administrators can also enable or disable this feature with role-based settings.<\/p>\n<h3>AI Story Assistant<\/h3>\n<p>TMAMD is deeply integrated with LANSA BI\u2019s built-in Data Storytelling Tool, enabling users to create multimedia narratives more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>With the AI Story Assistant, users managing frequent updates can rely on the AI-generated visualizations and explanations to get their content started. They can then focus on distilling what matters most: actionable insights and value-driven recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AI-Story-Assistant-gif.gif\" data-lightbox=\"AI-Story-Assistant-gif\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AI-Story-Assistant-gif.gif\" alt=\"AI-Story-Assistant-gif\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reminder: LANSA BI 9.16.1.1 is designed to enable faster discovery of insights without compromising control. When using the above AI-powered features, metadata such as column names, view descriptions, data types, and reference codes may be sent to the AI model together with the user\u2019s question. Access can also be controlled by role, providing fine-grained governance over which users can use the feature.<\/p>\n<h3>AI Model Preference, Usage Tracking and Cost Governance<\/h3>\n<p>With the AI model integration, we are able to deliver a friendlier BI experience dedicated to accelerating insight discovery and decision-making. To support enterprise governance, LANSA BI 9.16.1.1 also comes with advanced auditing capabilities for AI usage.<\/p>\n<p>Providing administrators with visibility to manage operational efficiency and compliance, they can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easily connect to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Azure models (Bring Your Own Provider)<\/li>\n<li>Choose model versions to balance performance, speed, and cost<\/li>\n<li>Define AI connections at the Client Organisation (tenant) level<\/li>\n<li>Monitor accumulated token usage per connection<\/li>\n<li>View recent usage summaries in the Admin console<\/li>\n<li>Drill into individual AI requests<\/li>\n<li>Review exactly what was sent to and received from the model<\/li>\n<li>Analyze usage by tenant, model, feature type, or date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Connection-img.png\" data-lightbox=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Connection-img\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Connection-img.png\" alt=\"LANSA-BI-9-16-AI-Connection-img\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Additional Updates<\/h2>\n<h3>Automated Tomcat Upgrades<\/h3>\n<p>The updater can now optionally upgrade the bundled Tomcat version automatically during system updates.<\/p>\n<p>This reduces manual maintenance effort and helps ensure deployments stay aligned with current security standards.
