Chart Analyst: a short, honest reading of any dashboard chart
A chart is only useful if someone reads it. The Chart Analyst does the first reading for you. It takes the summary of a dashboard chart and writes a few plain sentences: what the chart shows, what stands out, and what you could do about it. It also handles process mining charts, which show how work flows through stages.
It removes the "so what?" moment after you build a chart. You do not export numbers to a spreadsheet or paste a screenshot into a chat to get a first interpretation.
What it does
- Describes the chart. One short sentence on the top values, the trend or the distribution.
- Names the notable pattern. A concentration, an outlier or a gap that deserves attention.
- Suggests next steps. Two short, operational suggestions tied to the model the chart is built on.
- Reads process mining. For a process mining chart, it covers cycle time, the share of work on the happy path and rework, then names the main bottleneck between stages and why it matters.
- Stays short. The answer is plain text with a hard limit of 1000 characters, so it fits next to the chart.
When it helps
- A project manager opens a bar chart of tasks per status and wants to know in ten seconds whether work is piling up in one column.
- A sales lead looks at deals by stage. The analyst points out that most value sits in one early stage and suggests a review of those deals.
- An operations owner opens a process mining chart. The analyst names the transition where work waits longest and suggests a work-in-progress limit or a clearer stage definition.
How it works with your data
The Chart Analyst has no tools. It does not query your database. When you run the analyse action on a chart, Worknano sends it a summary of the rows that chart shows, taken from data you are allowed to see. The agent writes the explanation from that summary only. If a number is not in the summary, it does not appear in the answer. The agent is told never to invent counts, durations, labels, stages or record IDs.
It is read-only. It does not change records, propose schema changes, write workflow definitions or create other agents. If you want to build or rearrange a chart, use the Dashboard Assistant. The Chart Analyst explains, the Dashboard Assistant configures.
Because it only sees a summary, it cannot tell you why something happened. It can tell you where to look. Treat its next steps as prompts for a conversation with your team, not as decisions.
Make it yours
The Chart Analyst is an ordinary record in the Agents module. You can rewrite its instructions to match how your company talks about metrics, shorten the output, change the model or the temperature, or duplicate it for a different audience such as a board report. Start with Build your own agent, and see How to edit a page assistant and a reusable agent for the editor. The wider picture of charts and widgets is in Dashboards.
