Provi — AI Chat Assistant

Provi is a built-in AI assistant that lets you query your provenance data using natural language. Instead of building filters and navigating dashboards, just ask a question.

Getting Started

Provi is available in two ways:

• Floating widget — Click the sparkle button (✦) in the bottom-right corner of any page to open a compact chat panel.
• Full-screen mode — Click the expand icon in the floating widget, or navigate to the Provi page directly. Full-screen mode includes a conversation sidebar and more room for detailed responses.

Capabilities

Query Interactions

Ask about your data in plain English:

What was the last order created?
Show me the 5 most recent login failures
How many interactions happened in the last 24 hours?

Trace Resources

Follow the lifecycle of any resource:

Show me the trace for order-123
What happened to user-456?

Check System Health

Monitor alerts and notifications:

Are any alerts firing?
What's the notification queue status?
Show me the most active resources this week

Count & Analyze

Get aggregated views of your data:

Count interactions by action in the last 7 days
Which resource types have the most activity?
What are the top 10 most active resources?

How It Works

When you ask a question, Provi:

1. Understands your vocabulary — On each conversation, Provi loads your tenant's resource types, actions, origins, and sample data fields. It knows your domain.
2. Calls the right tools — Provi translates your question into structured queries against your interaction data, including filtering, grouping, and tracing.
3. Returns real data — Every answer is grounded in actual query results. Provi never fabricates data.
4. Reads payload data — Provi can see the contents of your interaction payloads (the JSON data stored with each interaction), so it can answer questions about business-specific fields like order totals, email addresses, or status values.

Conversations

Conversations are automatically saved and can be resumed later:

• Auto-save — Every message exchange is persisted. Close the browser and come back — your conversation is still there.
• Conversation list — In full-screen mode, the sidebar shows all your past conversations.
• New conversation — Click the + button to start fresh. Each conversation maintains its own context.
• Delete — Hover over a conversation in the sidebar and click × to remove it.

Token Usage

Provi uses AI tokens to process your questions. Your plan includes a monthly token allowance shared between Provi and AI Insights:

The token usage bar is visible in the full-screen sidebar. When the limit is reached, Provi pauses until the next month.

Tips for Better Results

• Be specific — "Show me the last 5 orders" works better than "show me stuff".
• Use your domain terms — Provi knows your resource types and actions. Use them naturally.
• Ask follow-ups — Provi maintains conversation context, so you can drill down: "Show me the trace for that order".
• Start broad — If you're not sure what data exists, ask "What resource types do I have?" or "Count interactions by type".
