Explain with Lumos
Learn about Kubit's new Explain feature powered by AI
Explain with AI
Kubit is excited to launch it's new Explain with AI feature, designed to aid in the investigation and insight generation from reports you build in Kubit!
Each report will allow you to Explain with AI using our new icon in the right hand panel. You will find it under the current Dictionary icon. Once a report is executed you can configure what response you want to generate with our AI and text will appear explaining those insights.
You're able to copy the text generated and add it to whatever document you'd like, or add it to the Report to preserve the context. A Report with an Explain Summary will also be visible when added to a Dashboard.
