What can I ask AI Chat?
The questions AI Chat answers, the one action it can take, what it won't do, and how your chats are kept.
AI Chat answers questions about your work and your team in plain language, using real logged data: time, scores, attendance, burnout risk, rankings and, where people have turned on App Sharing, their apps. Everyone on Team Professional can use it: the Administrator and Managers ask about the team, and a Member asks about their own work only.
Where to find it
Select the AI Chat button that floats in the corner of every dashboard page. The chat stays open as you move between pages.
What you can ask
Ask the way you’d ask a colleague. A few examples of what it answers:
About people and the team (Administrator and Managers)
“How’s Patrick’s focus this week compared with last?”
“Who logged the most time last month?”
“Put Jordan and Mira side by side on focus and active time.”
“Who were the top performers last week?” (the same ranking as the Leaderboard)
About health and attendance (Administrator and Managers)
“Who’s at burnout risk right now?”
“What insights are there for the team this week?”
“Who didn’t log time on a scheduled workday?”
“Did anyone log weekend work?”
About your own time
“How much did I work last week?”
“Why was my focus low on Tuesday?”
About apps and sites (only for people with App Sharing on)
“Which apps took Sam’s Tuesday?”
“Where did Ana’s unproductive time go this week?”
“Who spent time on YouTube this week?”
You can name a day, a week or a month, say “this week”, “last week” or “yesterday”, or give exact dates. Searches across the whole team for apps or sites cover up to the last two weeks; ask about one person for a longer range.
The one thing it can do for you
AI Chat only reads data, with one exception for the Administrator and Managers: if someone has App Sharing off, it can send them a request to turn it on, but only after you confirm. The person can decline. See What can my manager see?
What it won’t do
Show app detail without consent. If someone has App Sharing off, AI Chat can’t name their apps, windows or sites. It still answers about their time and scores.
Answer a Member about anyone else. A Member’s questions are about their own work only: no teammates, rankings or team averages.
Make up numbers. If the data isn’t there, it says so.
Guess at personal reasons for someone’s patterns.
Answer questions unrelated to your team’s data.
Search window titles older than your workspace’s history setting.
Your chats
Each chat is private to you. No one else can see it, the Administrator included.
Open the chat within about two hours and you pick up where you left off. After that, a new chat starts.
Chats are titled from your first question. Click the title to rename one.
To delete a chat, open Chat History and select Delete Chat. It’s removed at once, with no confirmation.
Chats are deleted 90 days after their last message. If your role changes to Member, your earlier chats are deleted too.
Your questions and the figures needed to answer them are sent to DoTally’s AI provider, which doesn’t use them to train its models. See Privacy & Trust.
Available on: Team Professional, including the 14-day trial, for every role.
