AI Assistant for Reports: Your Top Questions Answered

Following the launch of Clincase’s AI Assistant for Reports, we’ve received a number of great questions about what this feature can do, how it works, and how it fits into your day-to-day clinical trial operations. In this post, we’re answering the most common FAQs to help you get the most out of this powerful new tool.

🔍 What is the AI Assistant for Reports?

The AI Assistant is a chat-style helper built into Clincase’s Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system. It supports you as you work with data queries, helping you write, refine, and understand them with ease. Simply type a request in your preferred language, and the assistant helps you translate it into a working CQL or SQL-in-CQL query.

Key functions include:

  • Creating working CQL and SQL-in-CQL queries
  • Explaining query logic in simple terms
  • Offering improvement suggestions and troubleshooting help

Whether you're new to CQL or simply need a second pair of eyes, the AI Assistant is here to support you.

🚫 Do I need SQL or CQL experience to use it?

The AI Assistant is built for users of all technical backgrounds.

  • You can type a request in your preferred language, and the AI will automatically suggest a valid CQL query.
  • Whether you're transitioning from SQL or starting fresh, the Assistant simplifies the entire reporting process.


🛠️ How does the AI Assistant help with troubleshooting?

Hit a roadblock? Just ask for help.

  • The Assistant responds to your question or error message
  • It explains what went wrong and why
  • It provides updated code suggestions so you can decide what to apply
  • No more waiting for back-and-forth email threads or support tickets. You stay in control, and the AI helps you move forward faster.

🔍 Is the AI Assistant always accurate?

The Assistant typically generates helpful responses with 70–80% accuracy, which can save significant time. That said:

  • Reports should always be reviewed by a human before use
  • The AI does not access your actual study data or report results
  • It only helps you write CQL queries and navigate the data model
  • First-time users must accept a disclaimer confirming responsibility for the reports they generate


✅ How does this feature improve my workflow?

Here’s a quick before-and-after snapshot:

Before AI Assistance:

  • Reading the CQL manual
  • Manually writing and testing queries
  • Submitting support tickets and waiting for answers

With AI Assistance:

  • Ask for reports in your preferred language
  • Receive working queries and instant explanations
  • Fix errors with a single click
  • The result: less time spent figuring things out, and more time focused on analysis.
