Overview of the AI Interactivity

Beginning with the 2025 Q2 release, we are introducing the new AI-Powered Insights functionality to our Web Report Viewers.

During the report preview phase, AI-generated insights offer an extensive suite of functionalities, including the formulation of responses, the construction of prompts, engagement with AI-generated content, and the execution of predefined instructions.

Configuration

The AI-Powered Insights functionality can be enabled through the configuration file of the project where the Reporting REST Service is running.

Below is an example of how to configure the project for the AzureOpenAI option.

Visual Representation of the AI Prompt

The AI Prompt will change visually based on the configuration settings and the current selected state - asking a question or inspecting the output.

Before any user can use this feature, upon opening the AI Prompt Dialog, they will be asked to give consent to the AI to process the provided text.

Ask AI Prompt

After consent is given, the prompt for asking the AI questions will appears in the top-right corner of the report viewer. The UI will change depending on whether custom questions are allowed.
