Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing command recommendations for an analysis-goal, using analytics system operations in an analytics systems. In operation, an analytics client is configured to provide an analytics interface for receiving a selection of analysis-goal information that corresponds to an analysis-goal model. A goal engine selects an analysis-goal based on the analysis-goal information. A command engine is configured to use the analysis-goal and goal-driven models to predict probable commands for the analysis goal. The command engine also selects a next command recommendation from the probable commands. The command engine generates additional command recommendation data based on a loss function fine tuner. The additional command recommendation data can include a goal orientation score that quantifies a degree to which a command aligns with the analysis-goal. The next command recommendation and additional command recommendation output data are communicated and caused to be displayed on the analytics interface.
