New in DX: major upgrades to DX AI

DX AI is your engineering organization’s copilot. It sits inside DX, alongside your data, and works like a dedicated partner that can read your reports, understand your metrics, and answer questions in plain English. Instead of writing SQL or piecing together dashboards yourself, you can ask DX AI things like “Why are deploy times going up?” or “Which teams are struggling most with code reviews?” and get clear explanations tied directly to your own data.
DX AI doesn’t stop at describing the numbers. It analyzes the context, identifies trends, and provides targeted recommendations that reflect what your teams are actually saying in surveys and comments. It understands your custom tables, respects your variables, and plugs seamlessly into your schema. It’s not just a chatbot on top of your data, it’s a context-aware system built to turn engineering signals into insights and actions.
With these latest releases, DX AI has become smarter and more deliberate. It can display its step-by-step reasoning, explain any SQL query with a single click, and automatically surface insights at both the team and group levels. In short, it helps leaders move from “what is happening” to “why it’s happening” and “what to do about it” without getting stuck in the weeds.
Here’s what’s new with DX AI. You can learn more about DX AI and how to use it here.
Reasoning mode
DX AI in Data Studio now uses a reasoning-optimized model. It takes more time to deliberate on tough prompts and shows its thinking in a collapsible “Reasoning” panel under each message. You can now expect stronger answers on complex questions and fewer SQL errors.
Explain with DX AI’ button for report queries
When viewing a report’s SQL, you can now click “Explain with DX AI” to start a chat preloaded with the raw query and a clear, structured prompt. You’ll get a plain-English explanation and can ask follow-ups right away.
Driver-specific AI recommendations
Beyond the high-level suggestions in the Snapshot AI summary, DX AI now reads all comments for each driver and generates focused recommendations for each driver. This gives you guidance tied directly to what your team is surfacing.
Custom table support
DX AI in Data Studio now understands your custom tables—including column data types and relationships—and can generate queries that use them. If a table appears in the Queries sidebar, DX AI can see and query it.
Variable-aware queries
DX AI in Data Studio now recognizes query variables and can edit SQL that uses them. It also understands the context of the query you’re working on (Queries tab, report tile editor, etc.), so suggestions respect your parameters.
Automated insights for groups
With our new Dashboard release, DX AI now automatically surfaces insights at the group level, helping you spot trends and outliers without manual digging.
