The slides are due Monday. The dashboard has the data. But you still spend two hours on a Friday afternoon filtering, exporting, and rebuilding charts that someone else will glance at for six seconds.
We built Ansehn Copilot to take that two hours back.
The problem with dashboards
Dashboards are answers to questions someone else asked.
When we designed the Ansehn dashboard, we picked the views that matter most: visibility over time, position rank, share of voice, citation share, sentiment. For most users, most days, those are the right defaults.
But your real questions are not always on the screen. You want to know:
- Which competitors are gaining ground in Germany this week?
- Out of 50,000 citations, how many came from Reddit versus our own domain?
- What is our win rate against Lamy for the "Lehramtsstudentin Sara" persona on Google Gemini?
- Can you plot that as a chart so I can drop it into a deck in 15 minutes?
You can answer all of these inside Ansehn today by clicking through filters, monitors, and detail pages. It works. It just takes time you do not have.
The deeper issue is that dashboards force a tradeoff. Either we ship a fixed set of views and miss the long tail of questions you actually ask, or we ship a builder so flexible that nobody uses it. Neither is good enough when the answer needs to be in your slides before the call.
What Copilot does
Copilot is a chat window built directly into your Ansehn account. It has access to your project data: prompts, citations, monitors, buying simulations, persona results, server logs. You ask a question in plain language. It pulls the data, summarizes the answer, and builds a chart if you need one.
A few examples from real customer use:
"What is our citation attribution share?" Copilot returns the breakdown across third-party domains, your own domain, and competitor domains, plus the top sources cited. In the example below, a project with 43,374 citations across 19,234 unique domains gets a full attribution overview in seconds. The same answer in the dashboard would take ten clicks and a manual sort.
"What are my current scores?" Copilot identifies the active monitors in your project, pulls the latest visibility, position rank, share of voice, and citation share for each, and returns the result as a summary plus a chart you can export.
"Plot this in a chart." This is the line that matters before a meeting. Copilot generates the chart, you download it, you paste it into your deck. Done.
"Synthesize all my simulation reports from the last 30 days." This is where Copilot is most useful. If you run scheduled buying simulations across multiple personas, models, and markets, you are generating dozens of detailed reports every week. Each one tells you something useful. Together, they tell you the story. But nobody has time to read fifty reports.
Ask Copilot, and it pulls every simulation run in the window, summarizes win rates by persona and model, and surfaces the specific missing assets that caused buyers to choose a competitor: the case study, the comparison page, the pricing detail. Other tools tell you where your visibility is low. Copilot tells you which missing assets are losing you deals.
The point is not that Copilot replaces the dashboard or the simulation reports. The point is that the dashboard handles the 20% of questions everyone asks, the individual reports give you depth when you need it, and Copilot synthesizes across all of it so you know what to do next.
Where dashboards stop and Copilot starts
| What you want to know | Dashboard | Copilot |
|---|---|---|
| How is my brand trending this month? | One click | One question |
| Which 5 domains drive most of my third-party citations? | Possible, requires sorting and filtering | One question |
| Win rate for a specific persona on a specific model in a specific country | Multiple filter combinations | One question |
| Same data, but plotted as a chart for a slide due in 15 minutes | Export, reformat in Excel | One question |
| Synthesize 50 buying-simulation reports into a single recommendation | Read each report manually | One question |
| "What changed since last week and why?" | Not directly answerable | One question |
Dashboards are great for the questions you ask every week. Copilot is for everything else.
How to try it
Copilot lives in the left sidebar of every Ansehn project. Open your account, click Copilot, and start with one of the suggested prompts:
- How am I performing?
- Trend for [your monitor name]
- Prompts I rank for in [country]
- Citations from [your domain]
- Win rate for [persona]
- Synthesize my buying simulations from the last 30 days
- Compare me vs competitors
Ask anything. If the answer is in your project data, Copilot will find it.
What's next
This is version one. We are focused on three things in the next release: more chart types, deeper buying-simulation analysis, and the ability to schedule Copilot reports so the answer arrives in your inbox before you ask.
If you have a question Copilot does not handle well today, tell us. We read every piece of feedback, and the questions you ask are how we decide what to build next.
FAQ
What data can Copilot access? Copilot has access to all data inside the project you are currently viewing: prompt monitoring data, citations, server logs, buying simulation results, personas, and competitor data. It does not have access to other projects in your organization or to data outside Ansehn.
Can Copilot build charts I can use in presentations? Yes. Ask Copilot to plot any answer as a chart and you can download the result as an image to drop into a slide or report.
Can Copilot summarize my buying simulation reports? Yes. If you run scheduled simulations, Copilot can pull every run in a given window, summarize win rates by persona and model, and surface the recurring decision criteria, content gaps, and brand perception issues that show up across runs. The output is a single synthesis you can act on, not fifty reports you have to read.
Does Copilot replace the Ansehn dashboard? No. The dashboard is still the fastest way to see your headline metrics at a glance. Copilot is for the questions the dashboard does not answer directly, and for the moments when you need a custom view in seconds rather than minutes.
Which plans include Copilot? Copilot is free and included on every plan, from Starter to Enterprise. Open your Ansehn account and you should see it in the left sidebar today.
