Chat with a dashboard's data
Let viewers ask questions of the data behind a published dashboard.
A published dashboard answers the questions you anticipated. Chatting with its data covers the ones you didn't. Every published Gallery dashboard carries an embedded chat that viewers can use to ask follow-up questions of the same data the tiles are built on.
What it is
Open a published dashboard from the Gallery and you'll find a chat panel attached to it. It's a focused version of Databasin One — same agent, same charts — but pointed at one thing: the data behind this dashboard.
This is always on now. There's no switch to flip when you publish; every dashboard you ship comes with it.
Locked to the dashboard's tables
The chat is scoped to the tables the dashboard's tiles query, and nothing else. Whoever's asking can dig into those tables — slice them differently, ask for a number the dashboard didn't show, chart something new — but they can't wander off into the rest of the warehouse from here.
That scope is set when you publish: the dashboard remembers which tables it's built on, so the chat starts already focused on them.
It runs as the viewer
The person chatting picks their own warehouse and model, and every query runs under their permissions — not yours. Two things follow from that:
- Viewers only ever see rows their own access allows. The chat can't reveal data they couldn't already query.
- A viewer needs their own working warehouse connection to run anything. The dashboard supplies the questions and the table scope; the viewer supplies the compute.
This is the same model the published tiles use — re-run the SQL as whoever's looking. The chat just lets the viewer write the questions instead of you.
