# Visualize This user guide

> How to interact with the Visualize This AI assistant in Atoti UI, covering natural language requests for charts and dashboards, cube knowledge queries, and the types of visualizations the assistant generates from Atoti-specific tool context.

Visualize This is a feature that enables AI-assisted visualization within the Atoti UI. It provides an integrated AI assistant and a set of Atoti-specific tools that together generate charts, dashboards, and insights from natural language queries.

## What is Visualize This

Visualize This provides two core capabilities:

* **AI assistant**: an integrated AI assistant in the Atoti UI that generates visualizations on request
* **Atoti-specific tools**: a set of tools designed to work with Atoti's data structures and features

## Why use Visualize This

Visualize This is powered by a large language model with access to Atoti-specific tools. This combination makes it useful in three ways:

* **Data visualization**: Create charts, dashboards, and multi-widget pages from natural language requests, without manually configuring widgets. The assistant selects appropriate visualization types and maps your data to them.
* **Cube knowledge**: Ask questions about your cube structure — available measures, hierarchies, dimensions — and get answers drawn from the Atoti context provided to the assistant.
* **General-purpose assistance**: Because the assistant is backed by an LLM, it can also handle any question you would ask a conversational AI, from explaining a concept to writing a cookie recipe.

## Where to find the Visualize This

Visualize This appears in the Atoti UI after successful setup. No additional navigation is required to locate it.

The screenshot below shows the assistant as it appears in the interface:
