Insights

Asking questions about your board in plain language, and the overview cards — plus what an answer is and is not.

Available Updated 2026-09-22

Insights has two tabs: an Overview of aggregate cards, and a Query tab where you ask questions in plain language.

Overview

Aggregate cards over the active team’s issues — counts by status and priority, what is overdue, what is unassigned. No configuration; it is there to be glanced at.

Query

Ask a question, get an answer rendered as a chart, a table or a single number, with a written explanation.

Things it handles well:

  • “How many open bugs are unassigned?”
  • “Which issues are past their due date?”
  • “What did we complete last month, by project?”
  • “Who has the most open issues?”

It is a conversation, not one-shot. Follow-ups carry the previous turns, so “and how does that compare to the month before?” works. Threads are kept so you can return to one.

Semantic grouping

Questions about themes or topics can use semantic analysis rather than a structured database query. Results can group related issues and link back to the underlying work. Check those groupings before treating them as a factual taxonomy.

What an answer is

An answer is a proposal, not a fact about your data

The question is interpreted by a model. It can misread what you meant — most often by choosing a different definition of a word than you had in mind. “Completed” could mean moved to a done column, or the completion timestamp, and those disagree for a reopened issue.

For anything you will act on or report, check the result against a filter that you wrote. A filter is exact; a question is interpreted.

This is the same rule as everywhere else in the product: a model proposes, a person decides.

Requirements

The Query tab uses the server-configured provider, not your personal drafting key, and needs a connection. The non-model Overview is separate.

When Anthropic is enabled, the interface asks for consent to send context and use your Orneos allowance. Query and summary can consume separate requests; interruption may still cost credit. Check the displayed allowance and shared limits. Availability depends on deployment configuration and granted access. See AI funding and usage.

Scope

Insights sees the active team’s issues. It does not span teams, and it does not read Vault content.
