# AI Analytics (https://docs.pulsarml.com/guides/desktop-app/ai-analytics)

Browse and filter ready-made and custom dashboards and widgets, and ask the AI to build a widget from a plain-language request, in the beta AI Analytics workspace.



**AI Analytics**, marked **BETA** in the left-hand menu, is a workspace of dashboards built from widgets: charts, tables and single-figure metrics about your machines. Pulsar provides a set of pre-built ones, and you can ask the AI to build new widgets by describing what you want to see, such as "OEE by shift last week". It has two tabs, **Dashboards** and **Widgets**.

Below them the Search dashboards... box, the Favorites, Custom, Pre-built and All filters with their counts (All selected, 11), a box button and New Dashboard at the right. A grid of dashboard cards, each with a preview, its name, a star, a three-dot menu, its number of widgets and when it was updated; pre-built ones carry a PRE-BUILT badge. The Ask AI to build... box floats at the bottom." width="1440" height="900" />

## Browse dashboards [#browse-dashboards]

On the **Dashboards** tab:

* **Search dashboards...** finds a dashboard by name.
* **Favorites**, **Custom**, **Pre-built** and **All** filter the list, each with its count. **Pre-built** dashboards come with Pulsar and carry a **PRE-BUILT** badge; **Custom** ones were made in your account.
* The star on a card adds it to, or removes it from, your **Favorites**.
* The three dots on a card open its actions: **Clone to customize** on a pre-built dashboard, **Edit** and **Archive** on a custom one.
* The box button next to **New Dashboard** opens the archived dashboards.

Click a card to open the dashboard.

## Read a dashboard [#read-a-dashboard]

An open dashboard shows its name, its number of widgets and when it was updated, with a back arrow to the list. The three buttons at the top right are **Fullscreen**, **Download PDF** and **Clone to customize**.

<Screenshot id="ai-analytics-dashboard" alt="The pre-built Stops dashboard open in AI Analytics: the back arrow, the name Stops with the PRE-BUILT badge, 7 widgets and 2 months ago updated, and three buttons at the top right. Below, the Filters bar with Machines: All, Shifts: All, General Causes: All, Specific Causes: All, Planning: All, Date Range and Group by, then the widgets Downtime by General Stop Cause, a bar chart of downtime hours by general cause, and Downtime by Machine & General Cause, a stacked bar chart per machine, each with a one-line description." width="1440" height="900" />

**Filters** narrows every widget on the dashboard at once: **Machines**, **Shifts**, **General Causes**, **Specific Causes**, **Planning**, **Date Range** and **Group by**. Each widget has a title and a sentence describing what it shows.

## Browse widgets [#browse-widgets]

The **Widgets** tab lists every widget on its own, with the same **Favorites**, **Custom**, **Pre-built** and **All** filters, plus:

* **Search widgets...** to find one by name
* **Metric**: **Downtime / Uptime**, **Availability**, **Products**, **Performance**, **Quality** or **OEE**
* **Type**: **All**, **Charts**, **Tables** or **Metrics**

Each card shows the widget's name, its type (**CHARTS**, **TABLES**…) and when it was updated.
