Key takeaways
- When your question does not name a file, DashboardGPT now looks for the file it is clearly about.
- On very wide tables, it focuses on the columns that matter for your question.
- If a first attempt does not work, it gets one more try. You may see a Fixing the plan step while that happens.
- Questions you asked before on the same file help the assistant understand new ones.
Why answers go wrong
Say you ask, "What was our revenue last month?" You might have an orders file, a sign-ups file and a web traffic report. Which one should the assistant use?
If it picks the wrong one, the answer looks fine but is not what you meant. Wide tables are a second problem. When a file has dozens of columns, the right one is easy to miss.
We cover how to check an answer in 50 questions that test AI accuracy. This guide is about what DashboardGPT now does for you.
What changed
- It picks the right file. If your question does not name a file, the assistant goes to the one the question is clearly about. It no longer just picks the file you touched last.
- It focuses on the right columns. On very wide tables, it looks at the columns that matter most for your question. It still checks every column when it builds the answer.
- It learns from your earlier questions. A few earlier questions on the same file help it understand how you use your data.
- It tries again. If its first plan cannot be used, it gets one more try. It is told what went wrong, so the second plan is better.
Your data stays in your workspace through all of this. Nothing new is sent anywhere.
What you will notice
Most of the time, you will notice nothing. The answer just lands on your canvas, and it is the one you wanted.
Now and then, a short Fixing the plan step appears while the assistant works. That is the second try. It does not need anything from you. It shows in your workspace and in the playground.
Tips for better answers
- Use words from your own columns, such as "revenue" or "signup date".
- Name the file when you have several that are alike.
- Ask one thing at a time, then follow up.
- Check the first answer against a number you already know.
