Statista compiles statistics, reports, and insights from both its own proprietary information and content from its partners. The Research AI feature within Statista offers an alternative method for searching and accessing information.
Features
Extensive summaries: The AI Research Assistant provides concise and informative summaries of the results.
Optional Use: Users aren't forced to use the AI Research Assistant; they can still use the traditional keyword searches if preferred, offering flexibility.
Multilingual Support: Users can search and retrieve results in various languages, which is an advantage for international users. There may be limited results in some cases as English is the main language the AI tool was trained on.
Follow-up Recommendations: It offers "Extended Query Recommendations" and "Curated Content Recommendations" to help users deepen their research and explore related topics.
Limitations
Prompt Dependency: As with many AI tools, the quality and relevance of the results are highly dependent on the quality and specificity of the user's prompt. A poorly phrased question might result in less useful results.
Subject Limitations: The AI Research Assistant is not going to be productive for all subjects.
Contradictory Data: Statista harvests data from multiple sources, so there is a risk of encountering conflicting data. Statista provides a disclaimer to acknowledge this. Users should critically evaluate sources to choose the most appropriate one for their query.
