Dashboards in answers

When the answer is numbers, the agent can draw it

Text agents — Business Specialist, System Architect, Advisor and your own agents — can answer with a small dashboard instead of a wall of figures: KPI cards, bar and line charts, a doughnut for shares, and a compact table. The dashboard is part of the message, right below the agent's written summary.

What you can ask for

Anything where the answer is essentially numbers across categories or over time. A few prompts that produce a dashboard:

• "Show me turnover by month for this year, with a trend and the totals."
• "Compare open cases per team for the last quarter — chart it."
• "Top 10 customers by revenue this year, as a dashboard with the share of the top three."

You never have to ask for a specific chart type. If you want one, just say so: "as a line chart", "with a table underneath", "no chart, plain numbers".

What you get

• KPI cards for headline figures — total, average, best month, change.
• Bar and line charts for breakdowns and trends.
• Doughnut charts for shares of a whole.
• A table when the exact rows matter.

The visuals follow your theme, work on a phone, and stay in the conversation — so scrolling back to an older answer shows the dashboard again.

Agents can also choose colors from Operator's accessible chart palette when color helps distinguish categories. For example, ask: "Show revenue by product as a colorful bar chart, and keep the same color for each product in the share chart." The agent cannot supply arbitrary colors, so every chart continues to work in both light and dark themes.

Good to know

• Every figure comes from data the agent actually retrieved. If it cannot get the data, it says so rather than drawing something.
• Each answer carries one dashboard, with the written explanation around it.
• This is a picture of one answer, not a saved BI dashboard: there are no filters, no drill-down and no automatic refresh. To change the view, ask the next question.
• Inside apps built with the App Builder, agents do not send dashboards — the app draws its own visuals.
