Celeste

What Is Celeste?

Celeste is Go Fig’s AI Analyst, an intelligent assistant built specifically for finance and operations teams. Unlike generic AI chatbots, Celeste understands your business context, knows your data model, and can perform sophisticated financial analysis through simple conversation.

Celeste can:

• Answer questions about your data in plain English
• 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.

Celeste Use Cases

Variance Analysis

“Why is gross margin down this quarter?”

Celeste breaks down the contributing factors, quantifies each impact, and highlights the primary drivers.

Ad-Hoc Reporting

“Show me revenue by product category for the last 6 months compared to the same period last year”

Celeste generates the report instantly, including visualizations and key insights.

Workflow Creation

Data Exploration

“What’s unusual about our Q4 performance?”

Celeste proactively identifies anomalies, trends, and patterns you might not have thought to look for.

Celeste and Data Security

• Your data is never used to train an AI model, and the business API tiers Celeste runs on do not train on data submitted through them
• Celeste sends the minimum needed to answer a question: the question, structural metadata, and a capped row sample of at most 100 rows, filtered by your permissions and PII-redacted first. Full table exports and credentials are never sent
• Where you bring your own warehouse, Celeste queries it in place rather than copying it
• All queries and responses are logged for compliance
• Role-based access controls apply to Celeste interactions
