A trend catches your eye and you want to understand what's driving it. You can now draw directly on any chart in Insights to show the AI exactly what you mean: circle a spike, highlight a bar, or lasso a region, and the agent responds to precisely what you've indicated.
What's New
The Explain feature is now available across Insights, giving you a way to give the AI visual context rather than describing what you mean in text.
  • On any dashboard tile:
    Click the
    menu in the upper-right corner of a tile and select
    Explain
    . Drawing tools appear — mark what you're focused on, type your question, and the Dashboard Agent responds. Ask it to explain a trend, surface what's driving a pattern, or suggest what to investigate next.
  • In a workbook:
    Click the
    Explain
    button (pen + sparkle icon) next to Chart Options at the top of any chart. The Workbook Agent responds to what you've drawn and can go further: refine the query, apply a filter, change the chart type, update colors or labels, and more.
