Required Grant

To access and use AI Readiness in your data, the following grant must be enabled for your role:

• Use AI Chat — Allows you to access and use the Domo AI Chat feature throughout Domo. Admins and those with Privileged- and Participant-level roles have this grant enabled by default.

Access AI Readiness

AI Readiness is available in any of your Domo DataSets. Navigate to DataSets inside the Data Center and select a DataSet to view its Details. In the Overview tab, you can see the percentages for how AI-ready your DataSet is depending on how you have set it up. Go to the AI Readiness tab to view and further prepare your data.

​

Configure AI Readiness

In the AI Readiness tab, you can see various metrics that visualize your DataSet’s AI readiness. You can also add DataSet Context, add synonyms and context, and enable AI for each column.

• Context Length — The number of characters in your readiness configuration. This count includes column names, DataSet context, and synonyms. Adding context to your DataSet helps improve its reliability, but adding too much context can decrease overall reliability. The radial gauge chart displays your context length.
• DataSet Context — DataSet Context includes a description and a list of objects for Domo AI to identify and use when looking at your DataSet. Learn more.
• Synonyms — This is where you can add like-terms about your data columns. For example, a column with the average\_rating label could also be identified as ‘rank’ or ‘classification.’ Learn more.
• Context — This is where you can add more in-depth information about your data columns. For example, a column with the ratings\_count label could include the context “number of total ratings, with or without a comment.” Learn more.
• AI Enabled — The AI Enabled toggle enables individual columns to be used by the various Domo AI tools, including AI Chat and AI Models. If you don’t enable a column for AI using the AI Enabled toggle, the AI does not use that column.

Understand Readiness Metrics

The five meters at the top of the AI Readiness tab give you insight into how prepared your DataSet is for AI. The first meter displays how many columns in your DataSet are enabled for AI. The meter displays the written number of enabled columns and a bar indicator with red, yellow, and green areas that show your progress. The ideal number of enabled columns displays in the green area of the bar—green indicates that you have enabled enough columns to have data that AI can work with while leaving out nonessential columns that may overload AI and lead to inconsistent results. If you have too few columns enabled, the indicator displays in the red or yellow area to the left of the green. If you have too many columns enabled, the indicator displays in the red or yellow area to the right of the green. The Characters in context radial gauge displays the number of characters included throughout your readiness setup. Context length includes your configured column names, DataSet context, and synonyms. The radial gauge shows the context length in relation to how accurate and how long the response time takes based on the total number of characters. If your gauge is in the yellow or red areas, you have too many characters in your context. The Synonyms meter displays the number of columns to which you have added synonyms. Like context, every column that is AI enabled should include at least one synonym entry for the best AI results. The Beast Modes meter displays the number of Beast Modes in your DataSet. You cannot add Beast Modes from the AI Readiness tab, but you can add them to your DataSet from Analyzer. Including Beast Modes in your DataSet helps Domo AI to answer especially complex data questions. The Context meter displays the number of columns for which you have added context. Every column that is AI-enabled should have a context entry for the best AI results.

​

Add Columns

You can add additional columns from your DataSet in the AI Readiness tab. Select Add Columns to add columns to your DataSet context. In the modal, you can check the boxes for the individual columns you’d like to add or add all using the first checkbox. Then select Add Columns.

​

Edit/Remove Columns

You can edit or remove columns added to your dictionary by selecting Edit All or More (three vertical dots icon) in the column row and choosing the option you want. Editing a column lets you update the synonyms and add context.

​

Add DataSet Context

DataSet context gives AI basic information about the DataSet. This can be a general statement about what data is included. You can also list the included categories. These details help narrow down our objects. The DataSet context is especially important when using Domo AI in a setting where multiple DataSets are used on a dashboard or app. Including general information and background details about your DataSet enables the AI to easily distinguish the DataSets to provide you with more accurate answers. Update the DataSet Context by selecting Edit All. Make changes in the DataSet Content textbox or rename your dictionary in the Dictionary Name field. Be sure to save your changes. In the image below, the DataSet Context field includes a statement and lists categories for our DataSet books.csv. After providing the context shown in the image, you could then ask AI Chat a question about how many books listed in your DataSet were written by a specific author and receive an accurate answer.

​

Add Synonyms and Column Context

You can add synonyms and context for individual columns in your DataSet to help Domo AI understand your data. Synonyms are words that might appear in natural language queries that this column can answer. In this example, we added the synonyms publishing house, editor, and printer/ for the publisher` column. If you were to ask AI Chat about the publishing house a specific book was published through, the synonyms would help it know to look at the publisher column in your DataSet. Column context gives Domo AI more information about an individual column to use when answering queries using the DataSet. In this example, we provided the column context “average rating score out of 5, 5 being the best” about the average\_rating column. This information helps AI answer questions about the average rating by knowing the scale. You can add synonyms and column context by selecting Edit All or More (three vertical dots icon) in the column row and choosing the option you want.

​

Enable a Column for AI

After adding context, synonyms, and Beast Modes, you can enable a column for AI from the AI Readiness tab by toggling the AI Enabled switch on a column basis. By default, columns are disabled. Enabling a column for AI adds it to the AI Readiness metrics. You must enable a column for AI if you want AI to use the column when interacting with your DataSet.
