Using the AI Assistant
The Chreos Dashboard includes a built-in AI assistant that can help you find information, look up data, and answer questions about your business.
Opening the AI Assistant
Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner of any page. This opens the AI chat panel where you can type questions and receive answers.
What Can the AI Do?
The AI assistant can:
- Search for customers — "Find customers with 'Smith' in their name"
- Look up account details — "What's the balance for customer 12345?"
- Search inventory — "Find items containing 'widget'"
- Run data queries — "Show me the top 10 customers by sales this month"
- Answer questions — "How do I switch companies?" or "What does this field mean?"
Data Security
- The AI can only see data you have permission to access
- If you're a staff member, the AI is limited to your assigned companies
- All AI queries are logged for audit purposes
- The AI cannot modify data — it's read-only
Tips for Better Results
- Be specific: "Find customer John Smith" works better than "find John"
- Include context: "Show me sales for this week" is clearer than "show sales"
- Ask follow-ups: The AI remembers your conversation, so you can refine your questions
