Assistants

Assistants are your built-in AI helpers in Datastripes, designed to make working with data more intuitive, interactive, and insightful. Whether you’re exploring trends, troubleshooting issues, or building flows, assistants are there to help.

What are assistants?​

At their core, assistants are AI-powered chat interfaces connected to your data and flows. They can:

  • Answer your questions in natural language
  • Provide explanations and insights
  • Help troubleshoot and debug your flows

Think of assistants as your data-savvy teammates — ready to chat, suggest, and guide whenever you need.

How to use assistants​

Using assistants is as easy as starting a conversation:

  1. Click the Assistant icon anywhere in the app.
  2. Ask questions about your data, flows, or analysis.
  3. Get immediate answers, tips, and actionable insights.

They understand natural language, so you can ask casually or dive deep into specifics.

Transforming sources into conversations​

One of the most powerful features is how assistants transform your data sources into interactive chatbots.

  • Ask about trends, anomalies, or summaries directly
  • Request detailed explanations for any node or output
  • Get help building or debugging your flows in real time

This makes complex data approachable — no need to write complex queries or code.

Example use cases​

Here are some ways assistants can support your workflow:

  • “What’s the average sales this month?”
  • “Show me outliers in this dataset.”
  • “How do I connect a new data source?”
  • “Explain why this node is throwing an error.”

Assistants help bridge the gap between your questions and the answers hidden in data.
