What makes Rill's AI agent different?
The most powerful feature of our AI Chat is its transparency, and we also designed it to be pluggable. When the AI answers your question, it automatically generates links to your dashboards, allowing you to see exactly where the numbers came from.

In Rill .77, we added a dependency graph viewer that allows you to easily visualize the dependencies within a project to see how changes to a model could affect downstream metrics.
We also added the ability to generate test data using AI. This is super useful to get up & running in Rill Developer.
