• Explain variances and anomalies with clear reasoning
• Create workflows and dashboards from natural language descriptions
• Proactively alert you to issues and opportunities
• Show its work with full audit trails

How Does Celeste Work?

Celeste operates on top of Go Fig’s semantic layer—the unified data model that defines your metrics, dimensions, and business logic. This means Celeste understands concepts like “revenue,” “customer,” and “month-over-month growth” in the context of your specific business.

Ask questions naturally:

“Why did shipping costs increase last month?”

Celeste analyzes the data and responds with a clear explanation:

“Shipping costs increased 23% in January primarily due to two factors: (1) carrier rate increases from FedEx averaging 8%, and (2) a shift toward expedited shipping for 340 orders to meet holiday deadlines. Here’s the breakdown by carrier…”

What Makes Celeste Different from ChatGPT?

Context awareness: Celeste knows your data model, metric definitions, and business context. It doesn’t guess—it queries your actual data.

Financial expertise: Built specifically for finance use cases, Celeste understands accounting concepts, variance analysis, and financial reporting requirements.

Audit trails: Every answer includes clear reasoning showing exactly how conclusions were reached. You can verify the logic and drill into details.

Action-oriented: Celeste doesn’t just answer questions—it can create workflows, build dashboards, and automate tasks based on your requests.

No hallucination: Because Celeste works from your actual data (not training data), it provides accurate, verifiable answers.
