Ask your model anything in the new AI Action Center
The AI Action Center lets you ask your model questions directly, in plain language, and get answers grounded in your own data. Live now for all clients.

Finding an answer used to mean knowing exactly where to look. Which report, which filter, which dashboard held the specific number you needed. That's what self-serve stacks are like: the answer is somewhere in the building, but finding it means knowing which aisle and which shelf to check yourself. A reference librarian works differently. You just ask the question, and they point you straight to what you need.
But even that still means going and finding the book yourself. The fastest answer comes from sitting down with an expert who already knows the subject, asking your question, and getting a spoken answer on the spot, no shelf, no searching, no book required. That's the difference between being pointed to where an answer lives and actually being given the answer.
The new AI Action Center is like sitting down with an expert that knows your MMM and your brand’s unique data inside and out.
Key takeaways
- The AI Action Center is an in-product AI assistant built into your dashboard.
- You can ask it questions directly, in plain language, instead of digging through reports yourself.
- Answers come from your own model; you’re not going to get a generic response.
- It can recap performance, explain why a modeled number differs from what a platform reports, or compare one channel against another.
- The AI Action Center works alongside your CSM, not in place of them.
- This feature is live now, as part of The Forecaster release.
You already have the answer. You just have to go find it.
Somewhere in your dashboard is the answer to almost any question you'd ask about your marketing performance. How much retail really drove last month. Why your modeled ROAS looks different from what a platform is reporting. Which channel is actually pulling more weight right now. The data's there. Finding it quickly is the hard part, especially when you're under a deadline and don't have time to dig.
That's the gap the AI Action Center is built to close. Instead of hunting for the right report or the right filter, you just ask.
Ask your model directly
The AI Action Center lets you ask questions in plain language and get an answer built from your own model. Want a recap of last month's performance? Ask for one. Curious why your modeled ROAS differs from what a platform is reporting? Ask about that too. Want to compare how two channels are performing against each other? That's a question now and not a project.
You get an answer in the time it takes to type the question.
Grounded in your own model, not a guess
An AI assistant is only as useful as its answers are trustworthy, and that's especially true when the questions are about your own budget. The AI Action Center's answers come from your own Base and Halo model. There are no industry benchmarks cited, and you won’t see hallucinations.
A question about your business should get an answer built from your business, using the same modeling that already powers your recommendations, forecasts, and reporting.
A partner to your CSM, not a replacement
Getting a fast answer from the AI Action Center doesn't mean your CSM relationship goes away. We know there's still value in a conversation with someone who knows your account and the context behind your numbers.
Think of the AI Action Center as the tool you reach for when you need a quick answer between check-ins, or when you want to come to your next CSM conversation already knowing the numbers so you can spend that time on strategy instead of retrieval.
Wrapping it up…
The AI Action Center is part of the same idea running through this entire release: less time spent finding answers, more time spent acting on them. Your model already knows the answer to most of the questions you're asking it. Now you don't have to go digging to get there.
