What is Dashboard Summary AI?

Dashboard Summary AI is a built‑in analysis tool that reviews an entire dashboard and generates a plain‑language summary of key movements, growth patterns, and potential risks. It also provides context‑rich insights and supports follow‑up questions from the summary, plus widget‑level insights when you hover a widget right inside SourCherry reporting.

Running a dashboard‑wide summary is ideal for daily standups and weekly reviews; it translates dozens of metrics into a clear briefing.

The summary highlights growth patterns and metrics that need attention, helping you prioritize next actions.

Generated AI Insights

Beyond “what changed,” these insights suggest “why” it might have changed and where to look next, turning summaries into decisions.

Expect context such as peaks, dips, and potential causes, plus recommended next steps you can validate with your team.
Use insights to guide deeper analysis - open the relevant dashboard or widget configuration as needed.

When a single KPI looks off, hover the widget and request an AI insight card to quickly validate setup, trends, and comparisons.

Hover over a chart, table, or KPI widget and select the AI icon to generate a widget‑level insight.
