Accessing analytics copilot

If your account is enrolled in the agentic analytics Early Access Program (EAP), you’ll see the analyst copilot icon in your Analytics section. There’s no manual setup or installation for most users.

To access analytics copilot

  • In Analytics, click the Analyst copilot () in the sidebar. The analyst copilot home page opens.

    If you can’t see the icon, check with your admin or Zendesk support team.

Key elements of the home page include:

  • The create icon (+) appears on every Analyst copilot page and is used to add new projects, reports, dashboards, and filter sets.
  • The search box is where you can search for items, or provide a natural-language prompt to create a report.
  • The Recents column displays recent reports and dashboards you've viewed or worked on. Click any item to open it.
  • The Trending column shows the most popular reports and dashboards for all analyst copilot users. Click any item to open it.

See Setting up and accessing analyst copilot

Using reports

While you can manually build a report, it's usually quicker to use a natural language prompt. When creating a report, use specific and clear language to ensure accurate and relevant results.

To create a report from a prompt

  • On the analyst copilot home page, enter a prompt to create a report, for example "Which channel is getting the most tickets?" or "Display all unsolved tickets with more than one agent reply".

Analyst copilot provides an overview of the results and links to relevant memories it used as a source to answer your prompt.

Tip: Memories are saved notes about your analysis work, business rules, logic choices, and preferences. As you build reports, analyst copilot can save actions, filters, decisions, and AI suggestions as memories. Over time, these memories help make future analysis faster, more consistent, and more accurate. See Understanding analyst copilot memories.

To create a report manually

  • Click the create icon (+), then select Report.

    A blank report opens in report builder.

Elements of report builder include:
  • Click the report name to enter a new one if required.

  • Undo and redo previous steps.

  • Memory opens a context graph showing all memories used by the report.

    Save, fork, archive, or show the version history for the report.

  • AI-generated suggestions for adding to, or improving your report. You can click a suggestion to immediately apply it.

  • Dimensions and measures you can use to build your report.

  • Report results dynamically update based on your settings.

Using dashboards

Dashboards are interactive collections of reports, filters, and AI-powered insights. They help users to explore, analyze, and share insights across Zendesk datasets using a modern, search-first interface.

To view a dashboard

  • In Analytics, click the Analyst copilot icon () in the sidebar.
  • On the analyst copilot home page, click a dashboard to open it.

This section describes the main components of the dashboard builder

  • The dashboard name. You can click the name and enter a new one.

  • Add reports, text, links, images, and filters to your dashboard.

  • Filters to customize the results you see.

  • Undo and redo steps backward and forward your dashboard edits.

  • Save immediately saves the dashboard. Save as opens the Save dashboard page where you can name the dashboard, provide a description and project, and view or edit the URL assigned to the dashboard.

  • View mode displays the dashboard as end users will see it. You can't edit a dashboard in view mode. In Edit mode, you can make changes.

  • Share displays options to download the dashboard to your device, or to export the dashboard as an image.

  • An example of a report added to the dashboard.

  • When you click an added report, you'll see options that change how it's formatted in the dashboard.
