FAQs

How is Planful AI's Help Assistant useful to me?

Planful AI’s Help Assistant helps you with questions about using Planful products and guides you with information on in-product help. In the future, Planful AI will assist you with finding and opening reports, conducting variance analysis, and more.


How does Planful AI work?

Planful AI leverages an LLM model to provide users with powerful in-product help functionality. This integration allows users to access the search functionality without needing to visit our documentation site.


Does Planful AI retain my previous questions?

Yes, Planful AI retains the history of your interactions during the session to provide a seamless experience. When you log out, the session ends and history information is lost.


How do I provide feedback to Planful AI?

You can provide feedback by clicking the Thumbs Down icon. A dialog box will appear where you can select relevant options, enter your comments, and share your feedback.


How can I adjust the Planful AI dialog box?

You can drag and move the dialog box or collapse it altogether, depending on your needs and screen resolution. That way, you can follow instructions while using the Planful application.


What happens to my data and chat history? Is it stored anywhere, or are prompts tracked?

Your data and chat history are only available during your active session. Once you log out, all prior chats are cleared, and we do not retain any responses beyond your session time. However, if you provide feedback (e.g., a thumbs-down with additional information), we capture that feedback to improve the quality of our answers.


What types of questions can I ask the help assistant?

Our in-app help assistant offers the same functionality as our help portal but with the convenience of staying within the Planful application. Here are a few examples of what it can help with: 

  • How do I create a scenario? 
  • What are the steps to build a report? 
  • How can I create a dashboard? 
  • Where can I configure workforce planning? 
  • How do I export data? 
  • How can I share dashboards? 
  • What is the cloud scheduler?
