Evaluation environment with sample data provided by the admin — explore the Workbench without a database
Demo mode is an evaluation environment that lets users explore the Workbench's capabilities without connecting a database. The admin of the site chooses which sample datasets — sales data, geographic data, product catalogues, sentiment analysis data, or their own — are available to demo users. Evaluators can build recipes, run statistics, create charts, and test the AI assistant without connecting their own database.
Demo mode is enabled in Admin → Setup → Options → Demo. When enabled, the login screen shows a "Try Demo" button. Demo users log in with a shared demo account — no registration required, no email verification. Multiple evaluators can use the demo simultaneously with isolated sessions.

Orange badges on every page read "Demo Mode — Data not saved." The nav bar gains an orange accent colour. A persistent banner at the top of the screen reminds users of the evaluation context. These visual cues ensure evaluators understand they are in a temporary environment.
