At Wren AI, our mission is to make advanced data analysis feel as effortless as a conversation. We've noticed a critical friction point in complex, multi-step workflows: the moment a user needs to pause, re-evaluate, or ask a nuanced follow-up question. In previous iterations, the AI often struggled to maintain the full context, forcing users into repetitive cycles to clarify their intent. We are thrilled to introduce Interactive Mode , a paradigm shift in how you converse with your data. This new, continuous environment is purpose-built to enhance the depth and continuity of your analytical workflow, transforming Wren AI from a simple query tool into a true analytical partner.
Ad-hoc Mode vs. Interactive Mode: Choosing Your Analytical Partner
With the launch of Interactive Mode, you now have two powerful ways to interact with your data, each optimized for a specific goal:
- Ad-hoc Mode: Best for speed. Use this when you need to focus on getting a single correct answer or a chart immediately. It is direct, rapid, and transactional.
- Interactive Mode: Best for depth. This feels more like having a conversation with a human analyst. It allows for a smoother, continuous workflow where you can drill down into the data.

The Core Power of Interactive Mode
Interactive Mode is packed with features designed to facilitate a fluid, professional analytical experience.
- True Thread Context and Memory Interactive Mode maintains the full historical context of your entire thread. This means you can now:
- Ask complex follow-up questions without re-stating the entire query.
- Iterate seamlessly by asking the AI to revise a previous question based on new information.

- Enhanced Visualization & Customization Presenting your findings is just as important as the analysis itself. We've introduced powerful, on-the-fly chart customization:
- Effortlessly refine your visuals directly within the interactive thread.
- Tweak chart parameters such as adding labels, adjusting color schemes, or toggling legends with simple conversational commands.
Add lables
Change colors
Remove legend

- Transparent Thought Process and Logic Breakdown Data trust is paramount. In Interactive Mode, Wren AI provides a deeply transparent summary that goes beyond the final answer.
- Wren AI now provides a clear breakdown of its logic and calculations, showing you exactly how it arrived at a conclusion.
- This audit trail allows you to validate the data, debug complex queries, and build unwavering confidence in the insights you are using to drive business decisions.

Interactive Mode is more than just a feature - it's a commitment to making advanced analysis accessible and intuitive. It frees you from the mechanical task of crafting perfect SQL or re-explaining context, allowing you to focus on the strategic thinking that truly moves your business forward.
