The Insights chat tab provides a natural language interface for analyzing usage of the Glean platform. Instead of navigating pre-built dashboards, you can ask questions like “Which departments have the highest Glean adoption?” and get responses via natural language, CSV downloads, and/or charts.
The Insights Chat tab is available at Insights > Insights chat . You must have the Insights Moderator role to access this feature.
