Start Chat From Dashboard
Use this workflow when you want to start an AI chat directly from a dashboard instead of leaving the dashboard to open Chat first.
Starting from the dashboard keeps the current dashboard context in view while you frame a question and choose the response format that best matches what you need.
Before You Start
- Open the dashboard you want to use.
- Make sure the dashboard already reflects the focus and filters you want AI to use as context.
Steps
- In the prompt box at the top of the dashboard, enter a short question or request.
- Optionally, open the mode menu in the prompt box and pick a mode.
When Should I Use Chat From A Dashboard?
- When you want to ask a follow-up question based on the dashboard you are already reviewing.
- When you want AI to summarize patterns you see in the dashboard without switching views.
- When you want a response format such as Podcast for easier review or sharing.
Tips
- Keep the prompt specific so the response stays tied to the dashboard context.
- Set or update the dashboard focus before you start chat if you want narrower results.
- Choose the response mode before submitting the prompt so the output matches your goal.
