Conversational BI can make analytics more accessible if underpinned by governance and transparency. Anchor the experience in a semantic layer that defines metrics, relationships, and access rules. Map natural language intents and synonyms to validated queries, ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Implement safeguards that limit access to certified datasets, validate generated SQL for risky patterns, and enforce row- and column-level security. Support contextual follow-ups, such as “by region” or “last quarter, to provide continuity in exploration.

Present results with citations, confidence indicators, and sample data to reinforce trust. Collect feedback to refine models and enhance relevance over time. By merging usability with rigor, conversational BI becomes a trusted, auditable gateway to enterprise analytics.
