Context Management
Compass learns and improves based on your feedback. You can update its understanding of your business context at any time.
Update business context
You can correct Compass if something in its answer is wrong or out of date.
To update context:
- Ask your question in Slack.
- When Compass replies, tell it what's wrong.
- Compass updates its context so future answers are correct.
Example:
User: "Who are our top sales reps by win rate?"
Compass: Answers with a list of people including David Lee and Sarah Brown.
User: "David Lee and Sarah Brown are not sales reps — please remove them."
Compass: Updates the context.
How context works
Compass builds understanding of your business through:
- Your corrections - When you tell Compass something is wrong, it remembers
- Database metadata - Column descriptions and table documentation from your warehouse
- Usage patterns - Learning which queries work well for your team
This context is organization-specific and continuously improves as you use Compass.
Data requests
When Compass can't answer a question, it will open a data request for your team automatically.
How it works:
- Ask your question in Slack.
- If Compass can't find the answer, it opens a request automatically.
Example:
User: "Who were our top Git committers last week?"
Compass: Compass tells you it can't find the answer and opens a data request.
