Dashboards had the numbers, but stakeholders still needed someone to explain the story.
Dashboards and KPI reports pack in a lot of numbers, but turning them into a clear story still falls on someone who understands the data well enough to interpret it. Non-technical stakeholders often see a dashboard update without knowing what changed, why it changed, or what it means for their decisions. Teams needed a way to have any dashboard, KPI set, or report explained in plain language automatically, regardless of which tool it came from or how it was shared.
-
01
Stakeholders received dashboards without always understanding what changed or why
-
02
Routine dashboard interpretation depended on analysts who understood the underlying data
-
03
Different dashboards and reporting formats made consistent interpretation difficult

Teams needed a faster way to turn reporting outputs into clear business understanding
What Dashboard Narrator had to achieve.
Explain dashboards, KPIs, and reports in clear, plain-language narrative form.
Accept dashboards from multiple sources: connected BI tools, exported reports, or screenshots.
Highlight the metrics and changes that matter most rather than restating every number.
Reduce reliance on analysts to interpret routine dashboard updates for stakeholders.
Produce explanations consistent enough to compare across reporting periods.
An AI narrator that can read dashboards from different sources, identify what matters, and turn the findings into clear language.
Flexible input handling
The agent works from whatever the client has: a live connection to a BI tool such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker, an exported report, or a screenshot of a dashboard.
Visual dashboard reading
Given an image or screenshot, the agent reads charts, tables, and KPI tiles directly, without requiring the data to be re-exported.
Plain-language summaries
Findings are delivered as a short narrative any stakeholder can read, with the option to drill into any specific metric.
KPI-focused narration
The agent identifies the metrics that moved most and explains what changed, rather than describing the dashboard element by element.
Context-aware explanation
Where trend or historical data is available, the agent explains changes relative to prior periods or targets, not just as isolated figures.
Four specific reporting problems, four specific fixes.
Supporting varied input formats
Dashboards live in different tools and formats across clients.
Flexible dashboard inputs
We built the agent to accept live BI connections, exported data, or screenshots, so it fits whatever the client already uses.
Reading dashboards visually
Screenshots don't carry underlying data.
Vision-based dashboard reading
We used vision-based reading to extract chart values, labels, and KPI tiles directly from the image.
Avoiding a flat list of numbers
Restating every figure isn't a narrative.
KPI-focused narration
We had the agent prioritize the metrics that changed most and explain their significance first.
Keeping explanations accurate
A misread chart produces a misleading narrative.
Source-grounded explanations
We grounded the agent's explanations in the actual extracted or connected data, with figures traceable back to their source.
"Restating every figure isn't a narrative. We had the agent prioritize the metrics that changed most and explain their significance first."
From dashboard numbers to faster, clearer understanding.
Faster, clearer understanding of dashboard updates for non-technical stakeholders.
Works with existing BI tools, exports, or screenshots without new infrastructure.
Reduced analyst time spent writing manual summaries of routine reports.
Consistent narration that makes it easy to compare updates period over period.
Turning reporting outputs into understanding.
Dashboard Narrator turns raw dashboards, KPIs, and reports into plain-language explanations any stakeholder can understand, whether the source is a connected BI tool, an exported report, or a screenshot. By combining flexible input handling, visual dashboard reading, and KPI-focused narration, the agent closes the gap between data and understanding, making it a practical tool for teams that need fast, clear insight from their reporting.
