ANSWER
It depends on your reporting requirements.
Use AI Assistant when you want to quickly explore production data or ask questions using natural language. Use Reports when you need repeatable KPI dashboards with clearly defined filters and widget configurations that can be shared with others.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Reports calculate KPIs using the widget settings that are visible to the user, making them suitable for consistent reporting and customer-facing dashboards.
AI Assistant is intended to help users quickly analyse and explore production data. While it can answer many reporting questions, Reports provide greater transparency into how KPI values are configured and displayed.
LIMITATIONS
- AI Assistant responses are generated from natural language requests rather than manually configured widgets.
- Trends exports may aggregate KPI values depending on the selected time range.
- Advanced external reporting or custom analytics may require the Factbird API.
