Updated over 3 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use Dashboard Summary AI if you want:

  • A quick explanation of what your dashboard data means

  • AI-identified trends, risks, and performance changes

  • Context and next-step recommendations without manual analysis

This feature is designed for users reviewing dashboards regularly and making data-driven decisions.

What Dashboard Summary AI Does

Dashboard Summary AI adds an AI analysis layer on top of your dashboards and widgets.

It does not change dashboard data.
It interprets and explains existing data.

Core capabilities:

  • Summarizes overall dashboard performance

  • Highlights growth, drops, and anomalies

  • Explains opportunity value and conversion trends

  • Provides suggested next steps based on data patterns

  • Allows follow-up questions on supported widgets

How to Generate a Dashboard AI Summary

  1. Open any Dashboard.

  2. Locate the Summarize Dashboard button at the top of the dashboard.

  3. Click the button to generate an AI summary.

What the Summary Includes

  • Key performance highlights

  • Percentage changes vs previous periods

  • Opportunity status breakdowns

  • Conversion and efficiency insights

  • AI-generated recommendations

The summary appears in a side panel and updates based on the dashboard’s active filters.

How to Use AI Insights on Individual Dashboard Widgets

AI insights are also available at the widget level.

  1. Hover over a supported dashboard widget.

  2. Click the AI Insights icon.

  3. Review the widget-specific AI explanation.

Widget-Level AI Insights Explain

  • What the widget is measuring

  • How values compare across time

  • Performance differences between statuses (for example, Open vs Won)

  • Notable increases or declines

  • Suggested focus areas

Asking Follow-Up Questions

You can ask follow-up questions directly inside the AI summary panel.

Follow-ups allow you to:

  • Clarify why a metric changed

  • Explore what is driving growth or decline

  • Request deeper explanations for a specific insight

Important Limitation

  • Follow-up questions work only on custom widgets

  • Follow-ups are not supported on standard widgets

Requirements to Use Dashboard Summary AI

To use dashboard and widget AI summaries, the following must be enabled:

  • AI Employee must be active on the account

Without AI Employee enabled:

  • Dashboard summaries will not generate

  • Widget AI insights will not appear

AI Employee Model Window Behavior

When AI Employee is enabled:

  • All generated summaries are stored in the AI Employee model window

  • Users can browse previous dashboard summaries

  • Widget-level AI explanations remain accessible for reference

This allows users to revisit insights without regenerating them.

Common Issues and Fixes

  • Refresh the dashboard

  • Check user permissions for dashboards

Follow-Up Questions Not Working

  • Confirm the widget is a custom widget

  • Follow-ups do not work on standard widgets
