A2: It helps non-programmers know, interact with, visualize & make sense of their data. It's a quick pre-modeling tool for data scientists & it helps sales and marketing users by quickly generating insights from natural language questions.

@marcushearne From my experience, preparing data can eat up 50 percent of the time spent on an analytics project so this WatsonAnalytics can be a big time saver with all of its built in data cleansing and preparing tools.
