An NLG (Natural Language Generation) Customization Studio for Watson in Cognos

Create a dedicated "NLG Studio" within Cognos Analytics that allows administrators and business users to customize the tone, terminology, and key metrics used in Watson's automated insights. Users could create and save custom narrative templates for different departments (e.g., a "Marketing" template that emphasizes campaign metrics and a "Supply Chain" template that focuses on logistics KPIs).

Explanation:

1. Output Current say:

"Q3 sales in the Central region dropped 15% due to product X."

Proposed:

Marketing Template: .....enhance by.... primarily driven by lower engagement with product X.

2. Control Current say:

Minimal-you get the output the AI provides

Proposed: User can get AI Voice tailored to match their department specific lingo and KPIs

3. Why is it useful? Who would benefit from it? How should it work?

Why Useful: The current AI narratives are generic. This makes the insights feel more relevant and actionable for specific business units, increasing adoption and trust.

Who Benefits: Business users in specific departments (Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain), BI analysts, and report consumers.

How it Works: A simple interface where users can:

Define Key Terms: Map "revenue" to "bookings" for Sales, or "inventory turnover" to "stock velocity" for Logistics.

Select Tone: Choose from pre-sets like "Direct," "Explanatory," or "Executive Summary."

Save as Template: Apply these saved templates to specific dashboards and reports.
