This feature is currently in Beta. Enable it in your agent settings to start testing with your team.
When content tools are enabled, AI agents can build new dashboards and charts and update existing ones — adding or rearranging tiles, organizing tabs, changing filters, and more — directly from a conversation.

​
How it works

With content tools enabled, your agent can:
  • Create dashboards and charts based on your prompt
  • Edit existing content — add, remove, or rearrange tiles and tabs
  • Update filters on dashboards and charts
  • Reorganize layouts without leaving the chat
Content tool calls run as the user chatting with the agent, so the agent can only create or edit content that the user is allowed to manage.

​
Who can use content tools

Content tools are only exposed when all of the following are true:
  • The agent’s “Allow agent to manage Lightdash content” setting is on
  • The user chatting with the agent has manage Content-as-Code permission (admins and developers)
  • For Slack, the workspace has trusted user identity enabled (OAuth) so Lightdash can evaluate the real sender’s permissions
If any condition is not met, the agent falls back to read-only behavior and won’t attempt to create or edit content.

​
Enabling content tools

To enable content tools for an agent:
  1. Go to your agent settings
  2. Toggle the Allow agent to manage Lightdash content switch
  3. Save your changes
Once enabled, admins and developers chatting with the agent can ask it to build or modify content: 
Create a dashboard tracking weekly active users, signups, and churn for the last 90 days.

Add a filter for account_tier to every chart on the Revenue Overview dashboard.

Rearrange the Marketing dashboard so funnel charts come before the channel breakdown.
