Switch between modes using the mode selector at the top of the chat, or press Shift+Tab to cycle through them.| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto | Lets the AI decide which tools to use based on your message. Best for general use. |
| SQL | Focuses on SQL editing, query debugging, and schema exploration. Board actions are only used if you explicitly ask. |
| Dashboard | Focuses on board, chart, and filter management. SQL actions are only used if you explicitly ask. |
| Ask | Read-only. The AI can answer questions, explain queries, run queries to inspect data, and browse the catalog — but it cannot create, update, or delete anything. |
Threads
Each conversation is a thread with history. The AI remembers context from earlier in the thread, so you can build on previous messages.Context awareness
The AI automatically knows:- Which page you’re on — dataset or board.
- The current query — if you’re on a dataset page.
- Your datasource type — so it writes SQL in the correct dialect.
- Your catalog — it can search for tables and columns.
Images
You can paste or upload images into the chat. This is useful for sharing:- Screenshots of errors.
- Schema diagrams or ERDs.
- Charts you want to reproduce.
