Answer a focused question with Ask the Data

Ask one plain-language question about a connected dataset and return an answer grounded in those rows.

Where: Flowgen → Add → Research → Ask the Data

Key ideas

Question plus dataset: The Question field can be written on the node or wired from text; the dataset comes through the typed dataset input.
Analyst model: Choose the model on the card or in the properties sidebar before running.
Text answer: The node emits a free-form answer that can feed a brief, report, decision step, or another text workflow.
Ask the Data card: DatasetInsightNode uses the generic shared-card path. Answer one focused question about a connected dataset.
Properties sidebar: researchNodes.tsx
Opened surfaces: Structured result preview

Connect the dataset and write a question that can be answered from fields it actually contains.
Choose the analyst model and run.
Check the answer against representative rows, especially any claimed ranking, count, or exception.
Send the answer downstream, or revise the question when the dataset cannot support it.

The node cannot answer reliably when required fields are absent, inconsistent, or outside the connected dataset.

Narrow the question to named fields or segments and inspect the input rows before accepting the result.
