Introducing the Dashboard Builder Agent: Build and Edit Custom Dashboards Just by Asking

Describe What You Want. We’ll Build It.

What if building a dashboard was as simple as describing the information you want to see?

With the new Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent, you can create or modify existing Cognitive3D dashboards using plain language. Instead of searching through the widget library and manually assembling a dashboard, simply describe what you’re looking for, whether it’s comfort metrics, retention trends, performance data, or other supported visualizations, and the agent selects the appropriate built-in widgets to build or update your dashboard.

It’s a faster, more intuitive way to create dashboards, allowing you to focus on the insights you’re trying to uncover instead of the mechanics of assembling them.

Turn Questions into Dashboards

Dashboards are one of the fastest ways to understand what’s happening inside an immersive experience. Whether you’re monitoring application performance, evaluating user comfort, measuring retention, or sharing results with stakeholders, dashboards bring together the metrics that matter most in one place.

The challenge hasn’t been deciding what you want to learn, it’s knowing which widgets answer those questions. Until now, building a custom dashboard required familiarity with the available widget catalog and manually selecting and configuring each visualization. That process worked well for experienced users, but it often created an unnecessary learning curve for everyone else.

Users knew the outcome they wanted, but not the assembly required to get there. For experienced users, mapping questions to the right widgets became second nature. For newer or occasional users, it was often enough of a hurdle that dashboard creation was left to a smaller group of specialists.

The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent removes that barrier by letting you start with your objective instead of the widget library.

The Dashboard You Want, Without the Guesswork

Creating a dashboard is now as simple as asking for it.

Instead of starting with widgets, dashboard creation now starts with intent. Whether you’re looking to monitor application health, analyze user behaviour, or compare releases, you can begin with the question you’re trying to answer and let the agent handle the assembly.

For example:

  • “Show me comfort and performance metrics.”
  • “Add a retention chart.”
  • “Remove demographics.”
  • “Include device performance and loading times.”
  • “Show engagement alongside session duration.”

The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent interprets your request, selects the most appropriate widgets, and assembles a dashboard that matches your intent.

You don’t need to know which widgets exist or how they should be configured. Simply describe the outcome you’re looking for, and the agent handles the dashboard creation for you.

Build New Dashboards or Refine Existing Ones

The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent isn’t limited to creating dashboards from scratch. It also makes it easy to refine existing dashboards as your reporting needs evolve.

Dashboards are rarely perfect on the first attempt, and the agent treats editing as part of the same conversation.Need to add a new metric? Remove a visualization that’s no longer useful? Adjust a dashboard for a different audience? Simply describe the change, and the agent updates the dashboard accordingly.

This conversational workflow makes dashboard creation an iterative process rather than a manual one. As your questions change, your dashboards can evolve just as naturally, without rebuilding them from the ground up.

Intelligent Selection with Built-In Guardrails

The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent is designed to make dashboard creation easier without sacrificing reliability.

Rather than generating arbitrary visualizations, it works entirely within Cognitive3D’s existing widget ecosystem. When you describe the dashboard you want, the agent identifies the most appropriate supported widgets, validates each selection, and automatically configures sensible defaults to match your request. Rather than filling a dashboard with every possible visualization, it intentionally selects only the widgets needed to answer the questions that are asked.

If a request can’t be satisfied with the available widgets, the agent works within the capabilities of the existing widget library rather than inventing something that doesn’t exist. That means every dashboard it creates or edits is built using the same trusted components that users already rely on.

Because the agent works exclusively with supported widgets, every dashboard it creates or updates remains fully compatible with the existing Cognitive3D platform. Whether you’re starting with a blank canvas or refining an existing dashboard, you can trust that the result is built using the same proven components you’re already familiar with, just assembled much faster.

Getting from Question to Insight

The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent removes one of the biggest sources of friction in dashboard creation: knowing where to start.

Whether you’re a developer validating a new build, a customer success manager preparing reports for stakeholders, or an enterprise team monitoring production deployments, you can now begin with the question you want answered instead of the widgets you need to assemble.

By making dashboard creation more accessible, more people across an organization can confidently build dashboards, explore data, and uncover insights without first becoming experts in the widget catalog.

Instead of dashboard creation becoming a task reserved for specialists, it’s now something anyone on the team can do. Analysts and experienced users retain the flexibility they rely on, while newer users can confidently build meaningful dashboards without first learning the entire widget catalog.

By reducing the effort required to create a dashboard, teams are more likely to explore their data, ask follow-up questions, and discover insights they might never have uncovered otherwise.

Getting from question to insight should be as simple as asking the question. The Dashboard Builder & Editing Agent is another step toward making Cognitive3D analytics more intuitive, helping you spend less time building dashboards and more time understanding the data that drives better decisions.
