Data assistant

The Data page has its own AI assistant. It reads your data library, answers questions about what is in it, and proposes changes for you to approve. Open it with the toggle at the top right of the page.

It is the same chat as the dashboard sidebar, pointed at your data rather than at one dashboard. Threads persist, and an answer keeps generating if you reload the page or lock your phone.

What you can ask

• What is in here: which sources are connected, what a dataset holds, which columns exist, how many rows.
• Questions about the data itself: the assistant queries your datasets to answer, and can query several at once to compare them.
• Profile a dataset: column types, null counts, distinct values, and ranges, returned as a profile card.
• Draw something: ask for a chart of a result and it renders inline, without building a dashboard.
• Find a source: describe an API or a system you want data from and it looks for a way in. See AI API finder.
• How Flitch works: it searches these docs, so setup questions get answered in place.

Proposed changes

When you ask for something that would alter the library, the assistant does not act on its own. It replies with a card listing exactly what it intends to do, and nothing happens until you click to apply it:

• Rename a dataset.
• Create a folder, or move datasets into one.
• Refresh a dataset now.
• Change a dataset's refresh schedule.
• Write or update a dataset's description.

Each change is applied by the app under your own permissions, so the assistant can never reach past what your account may do. Leave a proposal unapplied and nothing happens.

Credits

Questions cost credits, billed to the team whose data you are asking about, and less than a dashboard update of the same size. With an empty balance the assistant declines to answer until you top up. See Billing & Usage.
