Light Solve makes Rocket Solve available on the free plan. Ask a business question in plain language and get a structured answer with supporting data and visual widgets, delivered in a fast conversational flow.

It is not a chatbot reply and not a list of search links. Rocket researches your question and returns a structured output you can keep refining in the same conversation.
