Building widgets with Explore Copilot

Introduction

Explore Copilot is an AI assistant in Explore that turns a plain-language description into a ready-to-use widget. Describe what you want to see — the dimensions, metrics, chart type, date range, and filters — and Explore Copilot builds the widget for you. You can then refine it with follow-up prompts or continue editing it manually.

Opening Explore Copilot

You can reach Explore Copilot in the following ways:

• In Explore, use the Explore Copilot panel on the left, next to the Dimensions & Metrics panel. Each view keeps its own conversation.

• On a dashboard, click + Add widget, and under Visualization, select Create with AI.

Building a widget from a prompt

To build a widget with Explore Copilot, follow these steps:

1. Open Explore Copilot.

2. In the Describe a widget field, enter a description of the widget you want, for example: Pie chart for top 10 campaigns by clicks this year.

   Alternatively, select one of the suggested prompts under Start with.

3. Click Send prompt.

As a result, Explore Copilot builds a widget based on your prompt. If your request is ambiguous, Explore Copilot asks a clarifying question instead of guessing.

Refining a widget

Explore Copilot keeps the context of your conversation, so you can adjust the widget step by step.

• To change the widget, enter a follow-up prompt, for example: Change it to a bar chart or Only show the last 30 days. Explore Copilot can change the chart type, add or remove dimensions, metrics, and filters, adjust the date range, and apply colors.

• To make manual adjustments, edit the widget in Explore as usual.

• To start over, click New conversation.

When you are satisfied with the widget, add it to a dashboard as described in Creating widgets and adding them to a dashboard.
