Using Ask-ai Safely & Effectively: A Practical Guide for Datadrew Users

Our philosophy is simple: Ask-ai is the fastest analyst on your team — but every analyst still needs a reviewer

Updated this week

Overview

Ask-ai, Datadrew’s conversational analytics copilot, is designed to dramatically speed up analysis, reporting, and decision-making.


It helps you explore data with natural language, draft SQL instantly.

But just like every LLM-powered system, Ask-ai can occasionally produce incomplete, outdated, or partially fabricated responses (the infamous “AI hallucination”).

This guide tells how to avoid these inconsistencies using our DREW framework.

Prompt Like a Pro Using the D.R.E.W. Framework

(Data Drew's branded method for getting clean, predictable responses)

Letter

Principle

Ask Yourself

Quick Check

D

Define

“Did I specify the exact metrics or KPIs?”

ROAS, AOV, CPA, net profit, LTV

R

Restrict

“Did I set a tight scope or date range?”

Q4 2024, last 14 days, top 10 campaigns

E

Ensure Availability

“Does Ask-ai have access to this data today?”

have i connected the right connectors/integrations

W

Yielding

“Will this answer help me take an action?”

‘Top 5 drivers’, ‘worst 10 SKUs’, ‘% change’

If your prompt satisfies D.R.E.W. you would idealy start getting the right answers.

Reporting Bugs or Inaccuracies

If you feel Ask-ai returned an incorrect number, or contradictory logic:

  1. Try checking if you followed Drew Framework, or give it a try again

  2. Just share your feedback within the answer section, we will thoroughly check it & come back to you with an improved version. The feedback section looks like:
