Core concepts

Five minutes of vocabulary, and everything else in Axiome will read naturally.

Workspace

Your company's private space in Axiome. Everything you see — dashboards, conversations, data — belongs to your workspace and stays there.

Dashboard

A live page of visualizations. Dashboards are organized in tabs, can be filtered as a whole (for example, by date), and update in real time — when a colleague or Axi changes something, you see it immediately. Everything is auto-saved.

Widget

One block on a dashboard. There are five kinds:

WidgetWhat it shows
ChartBars, lines, areas, scatter, or pie
TableRows and columns, for the details
CardOne big number — a KPI — with an optional comparison
TextTitles, context, explanations
AI summaryAxi's written commentary on the whole tab

Fields: dimensions, measures, metrics

When you configure a widget, the field list is grouped into three families:

  • Dimensions — what you group or filter by: country, product, date…
  • Measures — how numbers add up: a sum, a count, an average…
  • Metrics — your company's official numbers, defined once by your administrators: revenue, conversion rate… When a metric exists for what you need, use it — it's the same definition for everyone.

You don't have to set any of this up. Your administrators describe your company's data once, and every widget — and Axi — works from that same shared description. That's why "revenue" means the same thing in every chart.

Axi

Axiome's built-in AI data analyst. Ask it questions in plain language, tell it to build or edit widgets, or have it explain a number that looks off. Axi uses the exact same data definitions as everything else, so its answers match your dashboards. More in Meet Axi.

Conversation

A chat thread with Axi. Home keeps your conversations in a Conversations sidebar, so you can pick up where you left off. If you send several messages while Axi is working, they simply queue up and run one after another.

Alert

A watch on a number that messages you in Slack — either when it crosses a limit you set, or on a schedule. See Alerts and reports.
