# AI Assistant

The Report Assistant lives in the right sidebar under the **AI** tab (open by default). It can:

* **Generate slides** from your cross-tab data.
* **Write an executive summary** with key findings.
* **Add insight text** to every chart on your slides.
* **Edit individual slides** — e.g. *"Change slide 3 to horizontal bars"* or *"Make the title font larger"*.

## Quick Actions

Three quick-action buttons are available at the top of the chat:

| Action                | What it does                                        |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Generate Slides**   | Creates slides from all available cross-tab tables. |
| **Executive Summary** | Writes a summary slide with the key findings.       |
| **Generate Insights** | Adds AI-written insight text to each chart.         |

## Per-Slide AI Editing

Use the the quick actions tools on top of each slide:

* Duplicate slide
* Try a new layout
* Improve writing
* Fix spelling and grammar
* Translate
* Make longer / shorter
* Simplify language
* Be more specific
* Make more visual
* Add image or chart

You can also type a custom instruction via the **Slide AI Edit** toolbar that appears on hover.

## Conversations

You can create multiple chat conversations per deck — useful for separating setup from iterative edits. Rename, duplicate, reorder, or delete conversations from the conversation list.
