ClearPoint AI – Analysis, Recommendations, Charts, Calculations & Evaluations

Learn how to use ClearPoint's in-context AI tools to generate analysis, recommendations, charts, calculated series, and evaluations directly within element detail pages.

Written by Ted Jackson

ClearPoint's in-context AI tools are embedded directly inside element detail pages — letting you generate insights, write analysis, build calculations, configure evaluations, and create charts without leaving the page you're working on. These tools are context-aware: they read the data you're viewing and tailor their output accordingly.

AI suggestions are never applied automatically. You always review and confirm before saving.


AI Analysis & Recommendations

The AI Assistant is available inside any text-based card on an element or scorecard detail page — such as the Analysis or Recommendations fields. It explains what's going wrong with a measure or initiative, surfaces performance patterns, flags status changes that should trigger stakeholder action, and identifies which metrics carry the most weight during key cycles like budgeting and quarterly reviews.

To open the AI Assistant on a detail page:

  1. Open an element detail page (e.g., Elements → Measures → Expenses).

  2. Double-click into a supported text card such as Analysis or Recommendations.

  3. Click Pop-out Editor from the text editor ribbon.

  4. Toggle Show ClearPoint AI Assistant.

Ask Me Anything

Ask natural-language questions about the data you're viewing and get instant AI-generated insights.

  1. Open the Pop-out Editor and toggle the AI Assistant.

  2. Type a question such as:

    • What are the key trends in this measure?

    • Why did performance drop last quarter?

    • What factors are contributing to this result?

  3. Review the AI-generated response and insert it into your analysis as needed.

Generate Recommendations

The AI reviews your element's data and linked context to suggest actionable next steps or improvements.

  1. Open the Pop-out Editor and toggle the AI Assistant.

  2. Select Generate Recommendations.

  3. Review the suggestions and apply or refine them before saving.

Copy Edit My Text

Improve the clarity, tone, and structure of existing written content in a text card.

  1. Open the Pop-out Editor and toggle the AI Assistant.

  2. Select Copy Edit My Text.

  3. Review the revised version and apply the changes before saving.

Analyze Data

Get a deeper, data-driven review of measure or initiative performance — highlighting trends, correlations, and anomalies.

  1. Navigate to a Measure or Initiative detail page.

  2. Open the AI Assistant via the Pop-out Editor.

  3. Select Analyze Data.

  4. Review the generated analysis of performance patterns and outliers.

  5. Use the insights to inform decisions or enhance written analysis.


AI-Generated Charts & Data Visualizations

ClearPoint AI can build presentation-ready charts and graphs instantly from structured or unstructured data — no manual Excel work required. It identifies what matters in your data and renders it visually, so you can move from raw numbers to shareable visuals in seconds.

⚠️ Confirm exact trigger location for AI chart generation in the current CP Next UI, what chart types are supported, and how to customize the output — then add steps and screenshot before publishing.


AI for Calculated Series

When setting up a calculated series on a measure, ClearPoint AI can help you write and validate formula logic — reducing manual effort and formula errors. Describe the calculation you need in plain language and the AI suggests the appropriate formula using ClearPoint's tokens and functions.

To use AI for calculated series:

  • Open a Measure → Edit ElementSeries tab.

  • Select or create a series and choose Calculated Series as the type.

  • Use the AI prompt field to describe the calculation you need (e.g., "Calculate the year-to-date average of Actual").

  • Review the suggested formula and apply it.

⚠️ Confirm exact UI path for AI formula assistance in the Calculated Series drawer and add screenshot before publishing.


AI for Evaluations

ClearPoint AI can assist with configuring evaluation logic for series — helping you set thresholds and conditions that reflect your performance targets. Rather than manually determining score cutoffs, you can ask the AI to suggest appropriate above-target, caution, and below-plan thresholds based on your data history.

To use AI for evaluations:

  • Open a Measure → Edit ElementSeries tab → Evaluation tab in the series edit drawer.

  • Use the AI suggestion to configure thresholds for each status indicator.

  • Review and save.

Trendlines and Year-over-Year Charting

ClearPoint supports trendlines and year-over-year chart overlays as part of its forward-looking analytics toolkit. While not strictly AI-generated, these visualizations complement AI analysis by making it easy to see whether performance is improving, declining, or holding steady over time — and to compare current-year results against prior years in a single chart.

📎 See Visualize Your Data – Add and Edit Charts for instructions on configuring trendlines and year-over-year comparisons.


Project Evaluations as Early Indicators

Project Evaluations in ClearPoint can serve as AI-assisted early warning signals — automatically flagging whether a project is on track to deliver its expected value based on milestone completion and series data. Combined with the AI Assistant's predictive analytics, this gives you proactive insight into project risk before problems escalate.

📎 See Creating and Using Project Evaluations for setup instructions.
