Get AI-powered insights about your team's performance through natural language conversations.
Welcome to the Intelogos Ask AI feature! This guide will help you understand and effectively use the AI-powered conversational assistant to get insights about your team's performance, productivity, and work patterns.
Ask AI is available only to:
Regular users without elevated permissions will not see "Ask AI" in their navigation menu. If a regular user navigates directly to the Ask AI URL, they will see an "Access Restricted" message and be redirected to the Dashboard.
Ask AI is an interactive, conversational AI assistant that helps managers and admins gain insights about their team's performance. Instead of navigating through dashboards and reports, you can simply ask questions in natural language and receive detailed, data-driven answers.
The assistant uses your organization's tracked performance data to answer questions about:
Think of Ask AI as having a knowledgeable analyst available 24/7 to answer your management questions using real data.
The Ask AI page uses a full-width layout with no traditional page header (no date range picker or filters). The page is designed to focus entirely on the conversational experience.
Location on page: Top of the page, spanning the full width.
The header bar contains:
Location on page: Left side of the screen.
The standard Intelogos sidebar is available, providing quick navigation to all other pages (Dashboard, Profile, Team, Daily, Reports, Time off, Tools, etc.). The "Ask AI" item is highlighted when you are on this page.
The sidebar can be expanded or collapsed using the toggle button in the header bar.
Location on page: Center of the page (when no conversation has started).
The welcome screen is displayed when you first visit the Ask AI page or when there are no messages in the current session. It contains:
Personalized greeting – A large heading: "How can I help you, [Your Name]?" using your first name from your account profile.
Rotating suggested questions – Below the greeting, sample questions cycle automatically (approximately every 5 seconds) to inspire you with ideas of what to ask. These rotate through three suggestions:
You can click any visible suggestion to immediately send it as your question.
Chat input field – A text input area where you can type your question. The placeholder text reads "What would you like to know?" to guide you.
Submit button – A circular button to the right of the input field that sends your message.
Location on page: The input field is centered on the page before the first message, and moves to the bottom of the page once a conversation begins.
To ask a question:
You can ask about anything related to your team's performance data. The AI understands natural language, so you don't need to use specific keywords or formatting.
Example questions:
Location on page: Between the greeting heading and the input field, visible only on the welcome screen (before any messages are sent).
The suggested questions rotate automatically using a smooth fade-in/fade-out animation. Each suggestion is displayed as a quoted phrase in light gray text. The suggestions cycle every ~5 seconds through three pre-set questions.
How to use:
Note: Suggested questions disappear once the conversation starts. They are only visible on the initial welcome screen.
There are two ways to send a message:
Submit button states:
Important: You cannot send a new message while the AI is still responding to a previous one. Wait for the response to complete, or press Escape to cancel the current response.
Location on page: The conversation area takes up the main body of the page, between the header and the input field.
Once you send a message, the page transitions from the centered welcome screen to a conversation view:
Your message appears on the right side of the conversation in a blue bubble with your avatar.
The AI's response appears on the left side in a gray bubble with a sparkles icon avatar.
Response stages:
Response formatting: The AI's responses are rendered as rich formatted text (Markdown), which means they can include:
This formatting makes the responses easy to read and well-structured, especially for data-heavy answers.
Scroll behavior:
Ask AI maintains conversation context within your current session. This means:
Note: The conversation history is maintained only for the current session. If you navigate away from the Ask AI page and come back, you will start a new conversation.
Location on page: Below the chat input field on the welcome screen.
A GitHub button with a "+" icon is displayed below the input area. This integration allows you to connect your GitHub account to enrich the AI's insights with delivery data from your repositories (commits, pull requests, code reviews, etc.).
How to connect:
What it adds: When GitHub is connected, the AI can answer questions about:
Location on page: Next to the GitHub button, below the chat input field on the welcome screen.
A Jira button with a "+" icon is displayed alongside the GitHub button. This integration allows you to connect your Jira account to enrich the AI's insights with project management and delivery data.
How to connect:
What it adds: When Jira is connected, the AI can answer questions about:
Note: Both integrations are optional. The AI can still answer questions about team performance using Intelogos tracking data without any integrations connected. The message "Connect GitHub or Jira to enrich AI insights with delivery data" indicates that these integrations are available to enhance the depth of insights.
The chat input supports:
The input area supports file attachments:
For security and quality, the input is validated before sending:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send the current message |
| Shift + Enter | Add a new line in the input (without sending) |
| Escape | Cancel the current AI response (if streaming) or clear the input field |
Ask AI includes robust error handling to ensure a smooth experience:
If something goes wrong, an error message appears in the conversation as a red-bordered bubble on the left side (where AI responses appear). Error messages include:
| Error | Description | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| Network error | Connection to the AI server was lost or timed out | The system automatically retries up to 3 times. If all retries fail, a "Retry Request" button appears. |
| Authentication error | Your session has expired | Refresh the page and log in again. |
| Access denied (403) | Your role does not have permission to use Ask AI | Contact your Admin or Account Owner. No retry button is shown for this error. |
| General error | An unexpected error occurred | Click "Retry Request" to try again. |
For network-related errors (connection timeouts, lost connections), the system automatically retries the request up to 3 times before showing an error message to you. This happens silently in the background — you won't see error messages for temporary network glitches that resolve on their own.
For non-network errors, a "Retry Request" button appears in the error message bubble. Clicking it:
Note: The "Retry Request" button is not shown for access denied (403) errors, since retrying would not resolve a permissions issue.
Be specific in your questions. Instead of "How is the team?", try "How has the Engineering team's productivity changed over the last 2 weeks?" More specific questions lead to more useful answers.
Ask one question at a time. While the AI can handle complex questions, breaking them into focused individual questions tends to produce better, more detailed responses.
Use follow-up questions. Take advantage of conversation context. After getting an initial answer, ask "Can you break that down by department?" or "What about compared to last month?"
Try the suggested questions first. If you're new to Ask AI, start with the rotating suggestions to see the kind of insights available.
Connect integrations for richer insights. If your team uses GitHub or Jira, connecting these integrations gives the AI access to delivery data, making its answers more comprehensive.
Don't include sensitive information. Avoid typing passwords, API keys, or other sensitive data in the chat input. The input is sanitized, but it's good practice.
Use natural language. You don't need special syntax or commands. Ask questions the way you would ask a colleague.
Review answers critically. The AI analyzes real data, but always apply your management judgment. Use AI insights as one input to your decisions, not the sole basis.
