# Insights

:::info 🚀 Early release

AI-powered features are in early release and may not be available in your organization yet. If you'd like to try them or want to know more, [reach out to us](https://docs.nullplatform.com/docs/support) and we'll get you set up.

:::

AI Insights is a dashboard builder powered by an AI assistant. Ask a question like "*Show errors by service in the last 7 days*" and the assistant generates a visual dashboard with KPI cards, charts, and tables backed by live platform data. Save your dashboards as private drafts or publish them to your organization.

## What you can do

- **Build dashboards from natural language**: type a question in the AI chat panel and get a visual dashboard instantly. The assistant generates KPI cards, bar charts, pie charts, line charts, and tables.
- **Edit and iterate**: refine dashboards through follow-up questions in the chat, or manually reorder widgets and change chart types in the editor.
- **Share with your organization**: publish dashboards so your team can access them from the Insights sidebar. Control visibility: organization-wide or private.
- **Use predefined dashboards**: access built-in dashboards for Apps & Scopes, Builds, Specs & Instances, Deployments, and DORA metrics without any setup.

## The AI assistant

The AI assistant in Insights is dedicated to building and analyzing dashboards. It's separate from the [nullplatform AI assistant](/docs/ai-assistant/overview), which handles platform operations like exploring resources, investigating failures, and generating CLI commands.

The **Insights assistant** operates in two modes:

- **Build mode**: generates widgets (KPI cards, charts, tables) from your prompt. See [Dashboard builder](./dashboard-builder.md) for the full workflow.
- **Analysis mode**: reads live data in your dashboards and answers questions about it. See [Analyze a dashboard](./visibility-and-reporting.md#analyze-a-dashboard) for details.
