Hazel has two modes for answering questions. Picking the right one means you get the best answer in the right amount of time.

​
Ask

Ask gives you answers in seconds. It’s the default mode and the one you’ll use most often. Ask handles most questions — including ones that pull from multiple data sources:
  • “What was revenue yesterday?”
  • “Show me our top SKU this month”
  • “How many orders did we get last week?”
  • “Analyze retention by acquisition channel”
  • “Compare Meta vs Google ROAS this quarter”
Think of Ask as asking a coworker who has all your dashboards open. They glance at the screens and give you the answer.

​
Deep Thinking

Deep Thinking is for questions that deserve real research. Instead of a quick lookup, Hazel assembles a team of specialized research agents that work in parallel — pulling from your connected data, searching the web, and cross-referencing what they find. To start a Deep Thinking question, click the + button in the text box and select Deep Thinking. Once you send your question, Hazel takes it from there. Behind the scenes, data and web research agents work simultaneously across your connected sources. Hazel drafts a comprehensive analysis, then reviews it for accuracy, completeness, and clarity — revising until it meets the quality bar. The result is a thorough, well-sourced report with inline citations you can click to verify any number or claim. Deep Thinking is best for big strategic questions you want explored thoroughly:
  • “What’s driving the increase in our CAC and what should we do about it?”
  • “Do a full analysis of our customer retention — by channel, by product, by cohort — and identify where we’re losing people”
  • “Compare our product margins across categories, factor in return rates and support costs, and recommend where to focus”
  • “Build a comprehensive cohort analysis of customers acquired during our last sale — how do they compare to regular customers?”
Think of Deep Thinking as handing a research project to a team of analysts and saying “be thorough.” They come back with a full report — not just a number — with every finding traced back to its source.
