Assista, the Analytica's AI assistant is new to Analytica 6.5. It offers a conversational interface that answers questions about Analytica, about your model, and can even help you build your model and write Analytica expressions. It can make your modeling process much faster and more convenient. Like many tools using Large Language Models (LLMs) it can be amazingly helpful, but it isn't 100% reliable. So you still need to apply your human intelligence! You can start it from the new icon in the toolbar.

Assista, the Analytica's AI assistant is new to Analytica 6.5. It offers a conversational interface that answers questions about Analytica, about your model, and can even help you build your model and write Analytica expressions. It can make your modeling process much faster and more convenient. Like many tools using Large Language Models (LLMs) it can be amazingly helpful, but it isn't 100% reliable. So you still need to apply your human intelligence! You can start it from the new icon in the toolbar. Learn more at Assista.

Database library: A library of functions to make it easy to create, read, update, examine and delete database tables, without having to write SQL.
Themes Library: Use the Themes Library to quickly update your diagram and graph styles with some new and updated preset themes!
Weibull estimation library: This library includes functions for estimating Weibull distributions for lifespan or time to failure from data, and to obtain mean, median, and variance, and percentiles of a Weibull from its shape (k) and scale (lamda) parameters (and vice versa).
