# AI Chat

> Your AI-powered data assistant - analyze, fix, and automate directly from a conversation

BonData's AI Chat is a conversational interface that connects directly to your data. Ask questions, run analyses, fix data quality issues, build pipelines, and more - all through natural language.

Click **Chat** in the sidebar to get started. Type your question in the input field, or use one of the quick action buttons. Use **@** to mention specific Agents or integrations for context.

## What Chat can do

Chat is not just a Q\&A tool - it's a full data assistant that can take action across your connected systems.

| Capability               | Example                                                           |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Analyze data**         | "Show me the data distribution across my integrations"            |
| **Find duplicates**      | "Can you share a list of duplications in my Salesforce contacts?" |
| **Fix data quality**     | "Find and fix missing email fields in my CRM"                     |
| **Build pipelines**      | "Create an Agent that syncs new Salesforce leads to Snowflake"    |
| **Run analytics**        | "What's my total revenue by region this quarter?"                 |
| **Generate charts**      | "Visualize data volume by table"                                  |
| **Explain workflows**    | "What does my lead routing Agent do?"                             |
| **Suggest improvements** | "How can I improve my data quality across systems?"               |

Quick action buttons help you get started:

* **Add a new trigger to this workflow** - modify an existing Agent
* **Explain what this workflow does** - get a plain-language breakdown of an Agent
* **Find data quality issues** - scan your data for problems
* **Suggest improvements** - get recommendations based on your setup

## Chat modes

Switch between two modes using the selector at the bottom of the chat input.

| Mode        | Purpose                                                                       |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Agent**   | Takes action - builds Agents, fixes data, creates records, modifies workflows |
| **Analyst** | Read-only analysis - queries data, generates charts, summarizes findings      |

Use **Analyst** mode when you want to explore your data safely without making changes. Switch to **Agent** mode when you're ready to act on the results.

## Conversation history

All conversations are saved in the left panel. Click any previous chat to pick up where you left off. Chat retains full context - including charts, summaries, and action results.

<Tip>
  Chat works best when your integrations and entities are set up. The more data sources you connect, the more Chat can do for you.
