# Analyst Agent

> Load structured rows into scratchpad tables and query them with a focused GAIA agent.

# Analyst Agent

The Analyst Agent is a focused structured-data agent for users who want scratchpad table tools without the full Chat Agent tool surface. It is useful for CSV-style rows, extracted records, and calculations that should be performed by SQL instead of mental arithmetic.

## Quick start

```bash theme={null}
gaia analyze -q "Create a sales table, insert these rows, and calculate revenue by region"
```

Use interactive mode when you want to build up tables and ask follow-up questions:

```bash theme={null}
gaia analyze
```

## Tool surface

`gaia analyze --list-tools` shows the exact tools available in your installed version. The focused Analyst Agent exposes:

* `create_table` for creating scratchpad tables.
* `insert_data` for loading structured rows.
* `query_data` for SQL calculations and filtering.
* `list_tables` for inspecting available tables.
* `drop_table` for removing scratchpad tables.

The Analyst Agent does not register browser tools. Use `gaia browse` for web research, or `gaia chat` when you need the broader mixed tool set.

## Local model options

By default, `gaia analyze` uses the local Lemonade backend configured for GAIA. You can override the model or backend with the common agent flags:

```bash theme={null}
gaia analyze --model Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-GGUF -q "Summarize this table"
gaia analyze --use-claude -q "Normalize these rows and calculate totals"
```

In the Agent UI the analyst appears as a single `data` card with a model-size selector — pick **Lite (\~4B)** for shorter analysis tasks on lighter hardware, or **Full** for the default model. (The old `data-lite` registry ID still resolves to `data` on the lite tier for existing sessions.)
