FAQ
## Questions, answered
### Will the AI analyst replace me? +
No. It handles repeat questions from defined metrics. Questions that need judgement, new definitions or deeper analysis still come to you.
### Can I still write SQL? +
Yes, if your role has SQL runner permission. Everyone else works from the semantic layer.
### Where can reports be delivered? +
Slack and email on every plan, Microsoft Teams on Pro and Enterprise, and Google Sheets.
