I think the parent poster is suggesting that the user would know what answer they're looking for but would not know how to instruct the BI tool to get the answer they want. So if they could simply tell the AI in natural language for.for example, then the AI could work out on its own what report would be needed and construct it with the variables needed.

Essentially there's a technical step between knowing what report is needed and actually creating it and I think this is where parent is suggesting the AI could help. (?)

Exactly or even checking to see if that is the right question being asked.
