What’s New in Ask Polar 2.0
Ask Polar 2.0 brings major improvements in accuracy, speed, and usability. It’s powered by the same semantic layer that fuels all Polar dashboards and BI reports — ensuring every metric (from ROAS to CAC to LTV) aligns perfectly with your existing analytics setup.
New capabilities
Conversational context memory – Ask follow-ups like “compare that to last month” or “show by channel.”
Smarter natural language understanding – Recognizes ecommerce-specific terms like “new customers,” “ad spend by platform,” or “top SKUs.”
Instant visualizations – Generates bar charts, line graphs, and tables directly in Polar.
Saved prompts – Store frequent questions (“weekly growth report,” “revenue by campaign”) for easy reuse.
Team sharing – Share visual outputs or data summaries directly with teammates or in Slack.
Ask Polar 2.0 is built to minimize friction between curiosity and insight — so whether you’re tracking daily performance or preparing for a quarterly review, your answers are only one question away.
How to Use Ask Polar 2.0
You can access Ask Polar 2.0 from the top navigation bar of your Polar workspace. Once open, simply type a question in plain English, and Ask Polar will return a visual or tabular result instantly.
Example prompts
“What was my blended CAC last quarter vs this quarter?”
“Which campaigns had the highest ROAS last week?”
“Show me revenue by SKU for new customers only.”
“What’s our Meta ad spend in November?”
Ask Polar automatically references your semantic model, meaning all metrics come from your own verified data.
Tips for best results
Be specific with time ranges (e.g., “last 7 days,” “Q4 2024”)
Include dimensions (e.g., “by channel,” “by campaign”)
Use saved prompts for recurring questions
Export visuals or add them to dashboards for reuse
Ask Polar learns from your queries over time, so it becomes more accurate the more you use it.
Ask Polar 2.0 vs. AI Tools like Claude or ChatGPT
Ask Polar 2.0 isn’t just another chatbot — it’s deeply integrated into your Polar data environment.

Ask Polar is specifically built for ecommerce analysis and uses Polar’s validated metrics framework.
