Your starting point in Alloy — chat, explore, and pick up where you left off
The Home page is where you land when you open Alloy. It's built around Alloy AI — your mission data analyst that lives inside the platform.
Alloy AI
Alloy AI is an AI agent that works within the Alloy platform. You can think of it as the data analyst or engineering assistant that lives inside your project. It's here to help you find answers and get things done fast.
Unlike general-purpose AI, Alloy AI is deeply connected to your mission data. It can reference your entire history of operational data, existing data analysis, and perform actions across the platform. Describe what you want in natural language and it can:
- Query and analyze data — search across missions, run SQL queries, execute Python scripts with pandas/numpy/scikit-learn, and compute statistics
- Build visualizations — create interactive timeseries plots, bar charts, scatter plots, trajectories, and maps
- Reason across data types — correlate logs, images, timeseries, and metadata to answer complex questions that span multiple sensors and missions
- Create scenarios and reports — define patterns to watch for, generate AI-powered reports, and schedule recurring analyses
- Summarize and explain — narrate what happened in a mission, surface anomalies, and break down performance metrics
You can be as broad or as specific as you like. Ask a high-level question like "How did last week's missions compare to the week before?" and Alloy AI will figure out what to query. Or get precise — "Show me all instances where motor temperature exceeded 80°C while heading was between 90° and 180°" — and it will build the exact analysis. For deep research tasks, Alloy AI can spin up multiple sub-agents that work in parallel — searching across missions, analyzing different data types, and synthesizing findings into a single answer.
The chat is available from the Home page and from the right edge of every screen — it's context-aware and knows what page you're on and what data you're viewing.
What you'll see
Chat box — front and center. Start typing a question or pick one of the suggested actions like "What's new in my missions?", "Search across my mission data", or "Create a custom report."
Capability cards — a visual showcase of what Alloy AI can do:
Charts
Interactive timeseries plots, bar charts, scatter plots, and custom visualizations. Compare metrics across missions, overlay data from multiple sensors, or chart trends over your entire fleet history.
Insights
AI-generated summaries, anomaly detection, key event narration, and performance breakdowns. Alloy surfaces what matters so you don't have to dig through raw logs.
Analyze
Run SQL queries against your data warehouse, execute Python scripts with pandas/numpy/scikit-learn, compute statistics, and build custom analyses — all through natural language requests.
Maps
Geographic route visualization, multi-mission path overlays, waypoint tracking, and spatial analysis. See where your systems went and what happened at each location.
Recent sessions — your last few chat conversations, so you can pick up where you left off. Click any session to reopen it with the full history intact. Sessions also appear as nested items under Home in the sidebar.
Memory
Alloy AI remembers things across chat sessions. This is useful for:
- Format preferences — "Always include a chart when you talk about trends"
- Testing set-up — "Missions from Sep 20–30 used a temporary LiDAR mount on the front leg"
- Frequently referenced context — "Our standard survey route covers waypoints A through F"
Tell Alloy to "remember that..." and it saves the context. Memories can be scoped to just you or shared across your organization.
