# AI assistant overview

> An AI copilot that understands your schema and can build datasets, charts, and dashboards.

Mora includes an AI assistant that is always available from the chat panel. It understands your database schema, knows which page you're on, and can take actions across the platform, from writing SQL to building entire dashboards.

## What the AI can do

## Chat modes

The AI operates in one of four modes. You can switch modes from the mode selector or with **Shift+Tab**.

| Mode          | Behavior                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Auto**      | The AI decides whether to focus on SQL or dashboard actions based on your request.         |
| **SQL**       | Prioritizes query-related tools, editing SQL, running queries, searching the catalog.      |
| **Dashboard** | Prioritizes dashboard and chart tools, creating blocks, updating layout, managing filters. |
| **Ask**       | Read-only mode. The AI answers questions and explores data but does not modify anything.   |
