### Agentic AI, Ask Zia

Ask Zia is Zoho Analytics' agentic AI assistant, launched in July 2025. It operates as a semi-autonomous system that understands analytical intent and executes multi-step BI tasks end-to-end through natural language prompts, with a human-in-the-loop approach where users remain in control of decisions.

**Supported personas and capabilities:**

- **Data Engineers:** Build and automate data pipelines by describing preparation goals in plain language; transform data by providing output examples; generate SQL queries from natural language logic; get formula suggestions
- **Data Analysts / Business Users:** Create reports and dashboards through conversational requests with automatic filter and grouping application; generate contextual narratives (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, prescriptive); execute sharing, scheduling, and export actions via prompts; convert reports into narrative-driven slideshows
- **All users:** Democratized analytics requiring no technical expertise; Zia adapts its behavior based on the user's role and data permissions

**Additional AI capabilities (legacy and current):**

- Forecasting: Time-series based predictive analytics
- What-If analysis for scenario planning
- Anomaly detection and threshold-based alerts
- Auto-generated report and dashboard suggestions

**Technical details:**

- Powered by Zoho's proprietary LLM and/or OpenAI (user's choice)
- Can be trained on semantic layers, business terms, custom metrics, and column priorities for improved accuracy

### Supported Payment Currencies

The currency used at checkout is determined automatically based on the customer's country. Zoho Analytics supports payment in 15 currencies:

| Currency | Countries / Regions |
|---|---|
| USD (US Dollar) | United States, UAE (alongside AED), UK (alongside GBP), and most other countries not listed below |
| EUR (Euro) | 19 European countries (e.g., Germany, France, Netherlands, etc.) |
| GBP (British Pound) | United Kingdom |
| INR (Indian Rupee) | India |
| JPY (Japanese Yen) | Japan |
| CNY (Chinese Yuan / RMB) | China |
| CAD (Canadian Dollar) | Canada |
| AUD (Australian Dollar) | Australia |
| NZD (New Zealand Dollar) | New Zealand |
| SGD (Singapore Dollar) | Singapore |
| AED (UAE Dirham) | United Arab Emirates |
| SAR (Saudi Riyal) | Saudi Arabia |

Customers in countries without a dedicated currency are billed in USD or EUR. Currency cannot be changed manually, as it is assigned based on the billing country.

**Localized pricing:** Plan prices in currencies such as INR, JPY, MXN, EGP, NGN, and others are set at rates that are lower in absolute terms than the USD/EUR equivalent. This makes Zoho Analytics more accessible to customers in those regions compared to competitors who bill exclusively in USD or EUR.

## MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

Zoho Analytics provides an MCP server that implements the Model Context Protocol, a standardized interface that allows external AI agents and LLM-based tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, custom agents) to interact directly with Zoho Analytics workspaces, data, and features.

- **Status:** Beta (early development; tools and APIs subject to change)
- **Source:** Open source - [GitHub: zoho/analytics-mcp-server](https://github.com/zoho/analytics-mcp-server)
- **Documentation:** [Zoho Analytics MCP Server](https://www.zoho.com/analytics/api/v2/zoho-analytics-mcp-server.html)

### Deployment Options

- **Local (Docker):** Pull `zohoanalytics/mcp-server:latest` from Docker Hub; configure with OAuth credentials and environment variables
- **Local (NPM):** Install and run locally via NPM package

- `QUERY_DATA_QUERY_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT` (default: 30 seconds)
- `WORKSPACE_RESULT_LIMIT` (default: 20)
- `VIEW_RESULT_LIMIT` (default: 30)

### Known Limitations

- **API unit consumption:** Each MCP tool call consumes Zoho Analytics API units based on the underlying API used
- **Data sharing:** Aggregated data from queries is sent to the connected LLM to generate responses — review your data governance policies before enabling
- **Beta status:** Tools and functionality may change; not recommended for production-critical workflows without testing
- **Region configuration:** `ANALYTICS_SERVER_URL` and `ACCOUNTS_SERVER_URL` must match the organization's data center region (US, EU, IN, AU, etc.)
- **SQL scope:** `query_data` supports SELECT queries only; no INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL via MCP

## Known Limitations & Considerations

- **Data row limits are plan-dependent:** The free plan has a low row cap; even the Enterprise plan has an upper bound (50 million+ rows). Organizations with very large datasets may need to use Live Connect or aggregate data before import.
- **SQL support is read-only:** Custom query tables only support SELECT queries. Users cannot run INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL statements within the platform.
- **Live Connect restrictions:** When using Live Connect (real-time querying), some features such as data blending across sources and certain Zia capabilities may be unavailable or limited.
- **Learning curve for advanced features:** While basic reporting is straightforward, features like data modeling, formula columns, and embedded analytics require familiarity with BI concepts and may need onboarding time.
- **Zia (AI) accuracy:** Natural language querying results depend on how well the data is structured and named. Ambiguous column names or complex schemas may produce incorrect or unexpected visualizations.
- **Limited offline functionality:** The cloud version requires an internet connection. There is no offline mode for creating or viewing reports outside the on-premise deployment.
- **Mobile app feature parity:** The mobile apps support viewing and basic interaction with dashboards but do not offer the full report-building capabilities available on desktop browsers.
- **Connector sync frequency:** Automated data sync intervals depend on the plan tier. Lower-tier plans may have longer minimum sync intervals (e.g., hourly vs. more frequent).
- **White-label and embedded analytics availability:** These features are restricted to higher-tier or custom plans and are not available on Basic or Standard plans.
- **Third-party connector depth varies:** While 500+ connectors are listed, the depth of pre-built analytics (dashboards, KPIs) varies significantly between connectors. Some offer rich out-of-the-box templates; others provide only basic data import.
- **On-premise version feature lag:** The on-premise deployment may not have immediate parity with the cloud version for the latest features and updates.
- **Export and API rate limits:** API calls and bulk export operations are subject to rate limits that vary by plan.
