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?
