AI Readiness reflects how well your dataset is prepared to produce accurate, meaningful, and context-aware AI insights. The score represents how much essential metadata and business context have been added to help the AI correctly interpret your schema. To help you improve the score, Lumenore identifies key areas that need attention, such as the Schema Prompt and Business Context.

Depending on your needs, you can choose from the following actions:

Review and Improve Score
Walks you through enhancing your AI readiness by updating the schema prompt, adding descriptions, synonyms, units, business context, and other metadata.
Continue Anyway
Allows you to proceed with the analysis, though the AI’s accuracy may be limited.
Don’t Show Again
Hides this notification in future sessions.

A data readiness percentage is shown for each schema. You can enhance this score by navigating to the Schema Manager and using the Improve AI Score For further information, visit the AI Readiness Score guide.

Step 10: To switch models, use the dropdown menu in the ChatGPT interface to select the desired AI model.

Step 11: Click Schema Info. It allows users to define formulas for calculations when the required metric is not directly available in the data.

Attributes (/a):
Displays all available dimensions and categorical fields in the selected schema, such as Customer, Region, Product, or Date. Users can reference these attributes while framing questions.
Measures (/m):
Lists all numerical metrics and KPIs available in the schema, such as Sales, Profit, Quantity, or Revenue. These measures can be used to perform calculations and analysis.
Sample Questions (/q):
Provides example business questions based on the selected schema. These examples help users understand the type of queries that can be asked and serve as a starting point for analysis.

Step 12: Preview Data

Preview Data allows users to view a sample of the dataset associated with the selected schema. It helps users understand:

What data is available for analysis
The structure of the dataset (columns, data types, values)
Whether the data is relevant before asking questions

This feature is useful for quickly validating the data and gaining context before performing any analysis in Ask Me.

Step 13: Query Guidelines provide suggestions for framing questions effectively so that Ask Me can generate accurate and meaningful results.

Step 14: Lumenore Ask Me offers two ways to input queries: typing in the search bar or speaking after clicking the microphone button.

AI insights

AI Insights automatically analyzes your dataset or dashboard KPIs and generates meaningful observations, trends, patterns, and explanations. It highlights what’s changing, why it’s happening, and what you should pay attention to, helping users get instant, data-backed interpretations without manual analysis.

These insights may include:

- Trends (e.g., sales increasing month-over-month)
- Anomalies (e.g., sudden spike in costs)
- Drivers and contributors (e.g., which region impacted revenue)
- Correlations or relationships between KPIs
- Forecasting-based insights
Regenerate:

The Regenerate option lets you refresh or recreate AI insights for a single selected KPI. Instead of regenerating insights for the entire dashboard, this focuses the AI on a single metric, ensuring more accurate, relevant, and deeper observations.

Data Summary

Data summary is accessible for all generated KPIs. The data summary provides an overview of the dataset’s structure and calculations, including:

- Total rows: The number of rows in the dataset.
- Total rows after removing null values: The number of rows remaining after excluding null or missing values.
- Order by: The sorting order applied, in this case, by “TotalSales” in descending order (DESC).
- For each: The grouping criteria used here, grouped by “City.”
- Calculated: The calculated metric, which is the sum of “Sales” presented as “Total Sales.”

SQL Query

The SQL Query option allows users to view the underlying query that generated the chart or visualization. It provides transparency into how the data is being fetched, aggregated, and displayed.

Change Chart Type

The Change Chart Type option lets you switch the current visualization to a different chart format instantly. Instead of rebuilding a chart from scratch, you can choose another chart style from the menu, such as bar, line, area, scatter, stacked, or any other available type.

This feature helps you:

- Compare how your data looks across different visual styles.
- Quickly identify trends, patterns, or outliers that may be clearer in another chart type.
- Improve the presentation of insights based on your audience’s needs.
- The best way to visually communicate with your KPI or dataset

Fit to Width

The Fit to Width option automatically adjusts the chart to fill the whole available horizontal space on the screen. When enabled, the visualization becomes easier to read, especially when dealing with many categories or long labels, by removing the horizontal scroll and allowing the chart to stretch neatly across the dashboard.

Download

The Download option lets you save the chart directly to your device. Depending on the platform’s export options, the chart can typically be downloaded as:

- Image
- PDF
- CSV
- Excel

Email

The Email option allows you to share the chart via email directly from Lumenore. You can send the visualization to team members or stakeholders without manually exporting and attaching it.

Save

To save a specific KPI, click the “Save” icon. To view saved KPIs, select the “Saved Cart” located on the left side of the screen. Upon clicking the Saved Cart, the user will see a list of all saved KPIs.

Share

The Share panel lets you share your chart, insights, or KPIs with others via In-apps, WhatsApp, or Teams.

Sharing Options:

- Full Response: Shares the complete visualization, including:
- The chart
- Summary values
- Any contextual details shown in the view.
- Useful when you want to share the entire output as seen on screen.

AI Insights: If enabled, the shared content will also include AI-generated insights related to the chart (trends, patterns, explanations). If unchecked, only the visual output is shared.
Sharing Platform

You can choose how you want to send the shared content:

- In-app
  - Share directly with users inside Lumenore.
  - Add users by typing “@.”
- WhatsApp
  - Send the chart or insights directly through WhatsApp.
- Teams
  - Share via Microsoft Teams so teammates can view and discuss insights on your collaboration channels.

You can select one or multiple platforms. Recipients get the shared content in their notifications or shared items list.

Step 16: Three analysis modes are available:

Visual Mode: Presents data through interactive charts, graphs, and other visual elements for easy interpretation.
Narrative Mode: Provides a text-based summary of insights, explaining trends and key findings in detail.
Visual + Narrative Mode: This mode combines visuals and text to offer a comprehensive data view, blending clarity with detailed explanations.

Step 17: Clear Context

Clear Context removes all previous conversation history, filters, selections, prompts, and analysis steps that the system used to generate your insights. It resets the AI’s working memory, so it no longer considers past queries or instructions.

Step 18: Pin Analysis

Users can save the entire analysis using the pin feature for easy access. To remove it, click on the “unpin icon.”

Note: The maximum limit for pinned analyses is 5.

Step 19: Privacy Summary

To ensure transparency and user awareness, Ask Me includes access to a security message and a privacy summary when generating AI-based responses. This helps users understand how their data is handled while using GenAI features.

Step 20: To delete a pinned or recent analysis, click the Trash icon next to the item. You can also use the menu by selecting the three dots in the top-right corner and choosing Delete.
