# AI Copilot

The Telmai Copilot ("Ask AI") is an AI assistant that answers questions about your data quality environment using live data from your Telmai workspace.

## What Copilot Can Do

**Read-only questions:**

* "What are the most critical open incidents?"
* "Which assets have the worst data quality this week?"
* "Show me the completeness trend for the orders table"
* "List all monitors that haven't run in the last 24 hours"
* "Which assets have no monitors deployed?"

**Write operations (Admin and Member roles only):**

* "Deploy monitors for the customers table"
* "Disable the freshness monitor on the orders table"
* "Set the completeness threshold for email to 99%"

***

## How to Use It

Click the **Ask AI** button (bottom right of any page) to open the Copilot panel. Type your question in natural language and press Enter.

The Copilot will:

1. Determine what data it needs to answer your question
2. Fetch that data in real time (you'll see tool calls appear while it works)
3. Stream a response back to you

***

## Permissions

Copilot respects your Fabric workspace role:

| Role                 | Copilot Capability                                       |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Viewer               | Read-only questions only                                 |
| Member / Contributor | Read + write operations (deploy monitors, update config) |
| Admin                | Full access including integrations and deletions         |

***

## Conversation Context

The Copilot maintains context within a session. Follow-up questions like "show me the details for the first one" work as expected. Opening a new panel starts a fresh conversation.

***

## Tips

* Be specific about which table or asset you're asking about for faster, more accurate answers
* For multi-step investigations, ask one question at a time and follow up based on the response
* The Copilot uses live data — answers always reflect your current environment
