10 Best Al Tools for Data Analysis -2025-

Ten years ago—data analysis was like painstakingly piecing together a puzzle with a limited toolkit, often relying on manual manipulation and static dashboards. 

Fast forward to today, with the AI revolution, it's like having a super-smart assistant that not only helps you find the missing pieces—but also reveals hidden patterns and predicts the future picture in split seconds.

Now, AI is like our superpower—it is helping us find answers faster and see things we never even knew to look for, even from a large pool of data.

But you know how the market reacts—now, we have many AI tools for data analysis. And I'm sure you're overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. You're not alone. 

That's where this guide comes in. We've compiled 10 of the best data analysis tools on the market based on some relevant evaluations and experience in the data analysis industry.

What should you look for in an AI tool for Data Analysis?

With AI stepping into the data analysis arena, everyone is eager to leverage its power while approaching it with a critical eye. 

Here are some things I'll consider before buying any generative AI tool for data analysis:

Integration with Existing Data

A shiny new tool is useless if it doesn’t connect with your existing data stack. Choose a tool that seamlessly integrates with your data sources, databases, and visualization tools.

Customization and Control

Every data analysis task is unique. You need a tool for customization and control over the analysis process. Can you fine-tune the model parameters? Can you adjust the level of automation and intervention? Can your tailor the output to specific needs and audiences?

Scalability and Performance

If you deal with large and complex dataset, then go for a tool that can handle the volume and complexity of your data without compromising performance. Can it scale with you growing needs? How fast can it process and analyze data? Is it optimized for different types of analysis (e.g., predictive modeling, forecasting)?

Data Security and Privacy

Data security is paramount, especially when handling sensitive data information. Where will the data bestored and processed? Does the tool comply with relevant data privacy regulations (like GDPR)? What security measures are in place to protect your data from unauthorized access and breaches?

Review of 10 Best AI Tools for Data Analysis 

Generative AI holds immense potential for data analysis, but choosing the right tool requires careful consideration. Here's a review of the 10 best AI Data analytics tools.

1. Rows

Rows hero-min

With a robust AI analyst feature, advanced automation feature, and visualization features, Rows helps your business make the most out of a large pool of data in real-time. Whether you want to manipulate, sort or aggregate data from your tech stack, Rows does it perfectly.

It helps you pull live data from either of the 50+ integrations, arrange the data in a tidy spreadsheet, and drafts insights from the data with its advanced AI analyst and OpenAI integrations. Business's data? Student data? SEO data? Marketing data? You name it — Rows help you transform data into powerful information.

Rows' AI Analyst

Our AI analyst is a powerhouse. With Rows’ AI Analyst, you can use natural language to ask AI data-related questions. The tool will do all your calculations, like descriptive statistics, data summarization, transformation, and pivoting, plus regular spreadsheet commands, like charts, formatting and more to come. 

It works in two major angles:

  • Independent operations: Create multiple unrelated outputs in a single prompt—like adding several columns or generating a series of charts.

  • Sequential operations: Build workflows where steps depend on each other—like adding a column and creating a chart based on that column.

And guess what? You don't need complex formulas, scripts and calculations to:

  • Get answers to your business SEO questions (Example: how do clicks correlate with position?) Instead of writing complex queries, you can simply ask questions in plain English, and Polymer's AI will understand and provide the answers you need. It's like having an AI analyst that can translate your questions into data insights.

  • Add calculated columns to tables to unlock deeper insights ( e.g. 'add a column that classify keyword position in brackets: [1-3], [4=10] [10+]")

  • Perform what-if analyses (e.g. How does my revenue change if my margin increases by 5%?)

  • Run Goal seek (e.g. How many orders do I need to hit $100k, $500k and $1M in revenue?)

  • Add tables to extract trends, generate pivots, and slice the data (i.e. add a table with average CTR per page category)

  • Add charts to turn numbers into visual stories  (e.g. add a combo of impressions and clicks over time)

  • Enrich a dataset with relevant complementary info (e.g. add a column with the State based on the address)

The AI Analyst scans your dataset, understands the key variables, and provides you with summarization, transformations, and enrichments.

Click on the "AI Analyst“ ✨ icon, at the top right corner of any table.

A chat interface will open on the right: you can ask a broad range of questions, from basic spreadsheet commands - plotting a chart or adding or formatting columns - to more complex tasks, such as slicing, pivoting, or computing metrics about your data.

For example, given a dataset with daily revenue and costs of various marketing campaigns, you can ask the Analyst to add a column with the profit margin. Watch the video below:

Rows' Native OpenAI integration 

Rows integrates with Open AI for proprietary functions that automate prompts and address specific types of tasks. Below are a few of these function that are very important for marketing use cases:

  • Clean Up Data: Capitalize text, remove whitespaces and unnecessary text, parse email domains, and more.

  • Text Classification: Tag emails, classify support tickets or product feedback.

  • Sentiment Analysis: This technique determines the overall sentiment of a piece of text and identifies specific opinions and emotions within the text. It is useful for product reviews, feedback, or social media comments.

  • Extraction: Extract concepts or portions from a text.

  • Summarization: Condense news articles, messages, legal documents, research papers, and more according to a specific style.

  • Content generation: Generate content for advertising purposes, such as keywords, headlines, sub-headlines, or body copies.

  • Find and Enrich data: Generate dummy data or public data points for things you already have on your spreadsheet, like countries and companies.

Try them out in our OPENAI automation template.

What's more? 50+ data integrations

Rows has 50+ built-in data sources integrations in various domains. With Rows, you can gather data from various sources in your system. This allows for more detailed analyses and helps your team uncover insights they might miss.

You also have the possibility of creating custom connections via our HTTP functions.

💡 Pro tip: When the tool you’re working with isn’t listed in our catalog, HTTP functions allow you to connect to any RESTful API, GraphQL endpoint, or other HTTP-based data sources, regardless of their structure or authentication methods. On Rows, GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH make the catalog of integrable tools virtually infinite. Try them our in our HTTP tester.
