# Product Analytics

> Explore your data, build dashboards, and turn metrics into product insights without leaving GrowthBook.

Product Analytics turns the data and metrics you've already configured in GrowthBook into a general-purpose analytics workspace. Visualize KPIs, explore raw events, run ad-hoc SQL, and share curated views with your team — without launching an experiment.

Product Analytics is made up of two surfaces:

* **[Explorer](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/product-analytics/explorer.md)** — Build one-off charts from your metrics, fact tables, or raw warehouse tables. Ask questions in natural language, or configure explorations manually.
* **[Dashboards](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/product-analytics/dashboards.md)** — Combine multiple explorations, SQL queries, and markdown into a single shareable view that auto-refreshes on a schedule.

Both surfaces read from the same [data sources](https://docs.growthbook.io/warehouses), [fact tables, and metrics](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/metrics.md) you already use for experimentation, so there's no separate event pipeline or instrumentation to set up.

## Plan Availability

| Capability | Plan |
| :- | :- |
| Explorer (Metrics, Fact Table, Data Source) | All plans |
| AI Chat in the Explorer | Pro+ (requires the AI Suggestions commercial feature) |
| Custom SQL Reports (saved queries + visualizations) | Pro+ |
| Product Analytics Dashboards (private) | Pro+ |
| Sharing dashboards across the organization | Enterprise |

## Getting Started

1. Connect a [data source](https://docs.growthbook.io/warehouses) so GrowthBook can run queries against your warehouse. If you don't have a warehouse yet, you can use a [Managed Warehouse](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/managed-warehouse.md) to get started without provisioning your own.
2. Define [fact tables and metrics](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/metrics.md) — these power the Metric and Fact Table explorers, and they're what dashboard blocks visualize.
3. Open **Product Analytics** in the left sidebar to start exploring.

The first time you point an explorer at a data source, GrowthBook builds an *information schema* — an index of databases, schemas, tables, and columns — so the Fact Table and Data Source explorers can show you what's available. This is a one-time, per-data-source step that runs in the background.

## What's Next

* **[Build your first chart](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/product-analytics/explorer.md)** in the Explorer.
* **[Assemble a dashboard](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/product-analytics/dashboards.md)** that combines multiple charts, SQL queries, and context.
* **[Connect Custom SQL Reports](https://docs.growthbook.io/app/product-analytics/explorer.md#custom-sql-reports)** for analyses that don't fit a structured explorer.
