# Enhanced Analytics with Einstein Discovery

Einstein Discovery provides the full range of business analytics for your data.

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.
