Select a Model Response Type for Tableau Agent

Admins can select an LLM model response setting for each agent using Agent Settings in Tableau Next. Applies to agents based on the Analytics and Visualization template or a custom agent that uses the Data Analysis subagent.

Required Editions

Admins can choose between response speed and reasoning quality for different business scenarios.

  • Best Accuracy (Default): Advanced reasoning for complex queries, multi-step analysis, and mission-critical insights.
  • Best Performance: Optimized for speed—ideal for simple aggregations and high-volume queries.

For example, an agent used for Sales analytics could use Best Performance for fast answers to questions like "top deals this month" during live calls, while an agent used for Finance analytics could use Best Accuracy for complex fiscal calendar and hierarchy analysis.

The setting applies to all interaction surfaces of Tableau Agent.
