AI in Tableau and Data Usage
Note: Einstein Copilot has been renamed Tableau Agent, as the platform expands to accommodate more AI agent functionality. Starting in October 2024, you'll see updates to page sections, field names, and other UI text throughout Tableau Prep, Tableau Catalog, and Tableau Cloud Web Authoring. Help content and Trailhead modules are also being updated to reflect these changes.
AI in Tableau is built on data. As a Tableau customer, it’s important for you to know what data is being used in the features where you’ve enabled AI.
This table lists both the Customer Data, which is data submitted by the Customer to our services as defined in our Main Services Agreement (MSA)(Link opens in a new window), and the usage data, which is data relating to users’ interactions with Tableau.
Data submitted to a feature with AI in Tableau enabled may be used to improve your services and features or to develop new features that you can access without additional cost.
Note: The features in this list do not use global models, which are models that look for aggregated, anonymous trends across multiple Tableau Customers.
