# AI Mode

### Quick overview

AI Mode lets you interact with your Tability data using natural language prompts.

Instead of manually navigating plans, goals, and check-ins, you can ask questions and get quick answers, summaries, and suggested next steps. It is built to help you move faster from data to decisions.

***

### What is AI Mode

AI Mode is a prompt-based assistant in Tability that helps you analyse and act on your workspace data.

You can use it to:

* Summarise progress across plans, goals, and outcomes
* Spot risks and blockers from recent check-ins
* Draft weekly updates and leadership summaries
* Explore trends with follow-up questions

Think of AI Mode as a faster, conversational layer on top of your existing Tability workflow.

***

### Usage and accuracy

AI Mode can make mistakes. Treat responses as decision support and verify critical conclusions before sharing or acting on them.

Results depend on the quality and freshness of your workspace data. When reviewing a response:

* Responses can sometimes be incomplete or imprecise
* Some complex prompts may need follow-up questions for the best output
* Important claims should be checked against the linked plans, goals, initiatives, and check-ins

AI Mode shows your current monthly allowance beside the prompt box. The default allowance is **30 prompts per month**, and usage resets each month.

#### Get more prompts

Tability may offer a higher allowance through an in-product promotion. If an offer is available, follow the instructions shown in AI Mode or the support message. Your on-screen allowance is the source of truth for the current limit.

If you reach the limit, wait for the monthly reset or use the contact option shown in AI Mode to ask about additional usage.

***

### How to use AI Mode

#### Basic workflow

1. Select **AI Mode** in the left sidebar
2. Ask a specific question (include team, plan, and timeframe when relevant)
3. Review the response
4. Ask follow-up prompts to refine the output
5. Turn insights into action (update goals, assign owners, prepare reviews)

#### Reuse or schedule a prompt

Use [scheduled prompts](/docs/become-a-tability-power-user/features/ai-features/scheduled-prompts.md) when you want to save a useful prompt for later or automatically produce a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly brief.

#### Prompt tips

* Be specific about scope (team, objective, timeframe)
* Ask for output format (bullets, table, action plan, summary)
* Ask AI Mode to explain why (signals, trends, blockers)
