AI Insights is Vizdom’s built-in AI assistant. It lets you explore your data through natural language, automatically flags unusual patterns, and writes plain-English summaries so you can share findings without manual interpretation.
AI Insights requires at least one connected data source. If you haven’t added one yet, go to Settings → Data Sources before using the AI panel. See Data Sources for setup instructions.

​
Natural language queries

Instead of writing SQL, you can type a question and Vizdom generates the query, runs it, and returns a chart or table. Example prompts: 
Show me revenue by region for last quarter.
Which products had the highest return rate in 2024?
Compare monthly active users year over year.
What is the average order value by customer segment?
Break down support tickets by category and priority.
Vizdom interprets relative time expressions (“last quarter”, “this year”, “past 30 days”) using your workspace’s configured timezone.

​
Chart recommendations

When you run a query or select a dataset, Vizdom analyzes the shape of your results and recommends the most appropriate chart types. Recommendations appear at the top of the chart type selector, marked with a Recommended badge. The recommendation engine considers:
  • The number of dimensions and measures in the result
  • Whether any field is a date or timestamp
  • The cardinality of categorical fields
  • The distribution of numeric values
You can always override the recommendation and pick any chart type manually.

​
Anomaly detection and alerting

Vizdom continuously monitors your connected data sources for statistical anomalies. When a metric deviates significantly from its expected range — based on historical patterns — AI Insights raises an alert. To configure anomaly detection on a visualization:
  1. Open the visualization in edit mode.
  2. Click AI Insights → Enable Anomaly Detection.
  3. Set the Sensitivity level (Low, Medium, High) and choose notification channels (email, Slack, or webhook).
Alerts appear in the AI Insights panel and are also sent to your configured channels. Each alert includes a plain-English explanation of what changed and by how much.

​
Smart summaries

Smart summaries automatically generate a written narrative for any dashboard. The summary highlights key trends, top performers, and notable changes since the last period. To generate a summary:
  1. Open a dashboard.
  2. Click AI Insights in the top toolbar.
  3. Click Generate Summary.
The summary appears as a pinned card at the top of the dashboard. You can regenerate it at any time or edit the text manually before sharing.

​
Asking your first question

1

Open the AI panel

On any dashboard or in the Visualizations section, click the AI Insights button (the sparkle icon) in the top toolbar.
2

Select a data source

In the AI panel, choose the data source or table you want to query. You can type to search if you have many sources connected.
3

Type your question

Enter your question in plain English. Be specific about the metric, dimension, and time frame you’re interested in.
Show me total revenue by country for Q1 2025.
4

Review and refine

Vizdom returns a chart and the SQL it used. If the result isn’t quite right, type a follow-up question to refine it:
Now filter to only countries with revenue above $50,000.
5

Save or add to a dashboard

Once satisfied, click Save as Visualization to keep the chart, or Add to Dashboard to place it directly on an existing dashboard.

​
Supported question types

AI Insights handles a wide range of analytical questions:
  • Aggregations — sums, averages, counts, min/max across any field
  • Grouping and breakdowns — by category, region, time period, user segment
  • Comparisons — period-over-period, segment-vs-segment, ranking
  • Filters — “only include active users”, “exclude test accounts”
  • Trends — growth rates, moving averages, cumulative totals

​
Limitations

  • AI Insights cannot query data that hasn’t been connected to Vizdom. It works only with your configured data sources.
  • Very complex multi-step calculations (e.g., custom cohort analysis) may require manual SQL in the visualization builder.
  • AI Insights does not have access to data outside your workspace. Queries are scoped to your connected sources only.
  • Question interpretation depends on your dataset’s column names and descriptions. Adding column descriptions in Data Sources → Schema improves accuracy.
