How ancoreMind works

Qlik calculates, in your own Qlik session and with your rights. The ancoreMind service never connects to Qlik, and the AI receives calculated results and app structure – not your raw data.

How it works​

ancoreMind has three parts: the extension in your Qlik session, the ancoreMind service in Microsoft Azure in Germany, and the AI in Azure OpenAI in the EU data zone. Whatever you ask for – a question, a new chart, a change to a sheet – takes this way:

  1. You write your request in the chat. It goes to the ancoreMind service over an encrypted connection.
  2. The service checks your sign-in and your access to the Workspace and the conversation – for every request.
  3. The service asks the AI. The AI works out what to do in Qlik – which figures to calculate or which objects to build or change.
  4. The service sends that request to your browser. The service itself never connects to Qlik.
  5. ancoreMind runs the request in your Qlik session, with your Qlik rights. Section access and permissions apply as always.
  6. Qlik calculates the figures or makes the change. The result goes back to the AI, and the answer streams into your chat – a change is already on your sheet.

In short​

  • Your Qlik rights apply. ancoreMind sees only what you see in Qlik – no Qlik API key, no OAuth client.
  • Calculated results, not your raw data. ancoreMind does not load your data model, does not read raw tables and does not copy QVD files.
  • No copy of your Qlik app. ancoreMind does not copy your app – it keeps the conversation and the files you choose to save.
  • Stored in Germany, encrypted. Conversations, files and Knowledge are kept in Microsoft Azure in Germany.
  • No training on your data – per Microsoft's Azure OpenAI terms.
