# AI Analytics Dashboard: Build Custom Dashboards with Conversational AI

> Learn how Linkbreakers' AI-powered analytics dashboard lets you create, customize, and manage data visualizations through natural conversation. Understand available chart types, data sources, usage limits, and how to get the most out of your AI assistant.

## Short answer

Linkbreakers includes an AI-powered analytics dashboard where you can build custom data visualizations by chatting with an AI assistant. Simply describe what you want to see — "show me events by country over time" or "add a device breakdown pie chart" — and the assistant creates, modifies, or removes monitor widgets in real time. No manual configuration needed.

## Quick summary

- Create analytics dashboards with custom monitor widgets through natural conversation
- 7 chart types available: bar, horizontal bar, line, area, stacked area, pie, and number (KPI)
- 7 data sources: events over time, grouped time series, geographic breakdown, device distribution, visitor trends, event metrics, and workspace metrics
- AI assistant remembers your conversation history and the current dashboard state
- Interactive UI elements guide you through choices when needed
- Usage is metered through platform credits with subscription-aware rate limits
- The Free plan allows 5 Assistant messages per minute, Light 15 and Pro 30

## How the AI dashboard works

### Creating your first dashboard

Navigate to **Analytics** in the left sidebar menu. If you don't have a dashboard yet, you'll see an empty state with a "Create Dashboard" button. Click it to create your first dashboard with four default monitor widgets:

1. **Events Over Time** — a bar chart showing scan and click activity
2. **Top Countries** — a horizontal bar chart of your top locations
3. **Device Distribution** — a pie chart breaking down device types
4. **Visitor Trends** — a stacked area chart showing new vs returning visitors

### Editing with the AI assistant

Click the **Edit Dashboard** button in the top toolbar to open the AI assistant panel. You can describe changes in plain language:

- "Add a pie chart showing device types"
- "Change the top countries to show cities instead"
- "Remove the visitor trends widget"
- "Show me events grouped by country over time"
- "Add a big number showing total events"

The assistant understands your dashboard's current state and makes changes accordingly. You don't need to know widget IDs or configuration details — just describe what you want in natural language.

### Available data sources

The AI assistant can create widgets using these data sources:

| Data Source | What it shows | Best chart types |
|---|---|---|
| Events time series | Total events per time bucket | Bar, line, area |
| Grouped time series | Events over time split by a dimension (country, city, device type, visit type, browser, platform) | Stacked area, line |
| Geographic breakdown | Top countries or cities by event count | Horizontal bar, pie |
| Device distribution | Desktop, mobile, tablet breakdown | Pie, horizontal bar |
| Visitor trends | New vs returning visitors over time | Stacked area, line |
| Events metric | Summary KPIs (total events, top country, etc.) | Number |
| Workspace metric | Workspace totals (members, links, events) | Number |

### Available chart types

| Chart Type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Bar | Event counts over time, comparisons |
| Horizontal bar | Rankings, top-N lists (countries, cities) |
| Line | Trends over time |
| Area / Stacked area | Volume over time, part-of-whole breakdowns |
| Pie | Proportional distribution (device types, browsers) |
| Number | Single KPI display (total events, total links) |

## Usage limits and credits

### Platform credits

Each AI conversation consumes platform credits based on the complexity of the request. A typical interaction costs 150–500 credits. Credits are shared across all AI features.

| Plan | Monthly Credits |
|---|---|
| Free | 5,000 |
| Light | 20,000 |
| Pro | 100,000 |
| Enterprise | Custom |

When credits run out, the AI assistant shows a message directing you to top up in Settings.

### Rate limits

To ensure fair usage and cost efficiency, the AI assistant enforces per-minute rate limits based on your subscription:

| Plan | Messages per minute |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Light | 15 |
| Pro | 30 |
| Enterprise | 60 |

If you hit the rate limit, wait a moment before sending another message. Upgrading your plan increases both the rate limit and available credits.

### Request safeguards

Each AI request has built-in safeguards:

- **Maximum 5 tool actions per request** — prevents runaway operations
- **Token budget cap** — limits the computational cost of complex requests
- **Workspace verification required** — only verified workspaces can use AI features

## Tips for getting the most out of the AI assistant

### Be specific about what you want

Instead of "add a chart", say "add a horizontal bar chart showing the top 10 cities". The more specific you are, the better the result.

### Use the refresh button

After the AI makes changes, click **Refresh** to reload all widgets with fresh data for your selected date range.

### Conversation persistence

Your conversation history is saved per dashboard. When you reopen the Edit Dashboard panel, your previous conversation is still there. The AI remembers what it did and can follow up on previous requests.

### Date range filtering

Use the date range picker in the toolbar to change the time window for all widgets simultaneously. The AI creates widgets that automatically respect the selected date range.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I create multiple dashboards?

Currently, each workspace has one analytics dashboard. Multiple dashboard support is planned for a future release.

### What happens if the AI can't fulfill my request?

If you ask for something that isn't currently possible (like a data visualization we don't support yet), the AI will let you know and suggest the closest available alternative. Feature requests are noted for our team.

### Can I undo changes?

You can ask the AI to remove widgets it added or revert changes it made. You can also delete the entire dashboard and start fresh with the default widgets.

### Is my conversation private?

Yes. Conversations are stored securely per workspace and are only accessible to workspace members. Conversations are deleted when you delete a dashboard.

### Which AI model powers the assistant?

The assistant is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 with function calling, ensuring accurate and structured responses. All interactions go through Linkbreakers' API with your workspace's authentication — the AI operates with the same permissions as you.
