Ask Yarken is now agentic and reasoning-driven
Ask Yarken has been upgraded from a workflow-based assistant to an agentic, reasoning-driven AI built for financial and IT spend analysis. Instead of relying on fixed workflows and predefined SQL generation, Ask Yarken now interprets intent, evaluates context, and determines the best way to answer each question—delivering more accurate explanations, deeper insights, and greater flexibility when working with complex financial data.
With this enhancement, users can ask contextual questions directly from tables, receive clearer explanations of underlying figures, and uncover insights without switching views or performing manual analysis.
What’s new
