# Using Zenlytic (legacy)

Get answers with Zoë, Explore your data directly, and use dashboards to revisit and investigate saved views.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**This page describes a legacy version of the product.** The standalone Explore interface no longer exists. [Zoë](/using-zenlytic/zoe.md) is now how you get answers in Zenlytic — see that page for the current chat experience. The rest of this page is kept for historical reference only.

## Using Zenlytic (legacy)

Zenlytic is a LLM-powered AI data analyst (Zoë) that helps you go from facts to decisions. There are two primary ways to get answers in Zenlytic.

### How to get answers

* [**Zoë**](/using-zenlytic/zoe.md)
  * Zoë is an AI data analyst that uses your cognitive layer to answer questions about your data for you. Ask about anything you can query using the [explore](/legacy/exploring.md) interface, get rich [Artifacts](/using-zenlytic/artifacts.md) (apps, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more) that answer complex data science questions, and chat with Zoë in both Slack and Microsoft Teams.
* [Explore](/legacy/exploring.md)
  * The explore question is a general purpose interface where you can answer the "What" questions that lead into the "Why" questions. For example, you could look at number of customers by acquisition channel who have spent more than $200 in the last 3 months in this question type. You can [slice](/legacy/exploring.md#slicing) and [filter](/legacy/exploring.md#filtering) key metrics easily.

### Dashboards

You can also access saved views of your data using dashboards. To get to the list of your company's dashboards, you can click on the Dashboards option in the top navigation bar. Then to go to a dashboard, click on it's name.

When you're on a dashboard page, you can click the three dots on any of the plots to go into an interactive interface to ask follow up questions about the plot.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.zenlytic.com/legacy/using_zenlytic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
