Turn data into clear, shareable analysis in seconds.
What this feature does
Seer Data's AI Insight Summaries help you quickly turn Insight data into a clear, human-readable explanation. Instead of manually writing summaries, you can generate a draft using generative AI — then review, edit, and save it in your own words.
This feature is designed to make Insights easier to understand, share, and discuss, especially with non-technical audiences.
Who can use it
You can generate an AI summary if you:
-
Are on a paid plan
-
Have Edit access to the Insight
Standard (free) users cannot access this feature.
How to generate a summary
-
Open an Insight.
-
Select Generate summary.
-
Choose:
-
Tone (the summary voice and writing style)
-
Length (how detailed the summary should be)
-
-
Select Generate summary.
The summary usually appears within 5–10 seconds.
Tone options (Voice & style)
Choose the voice that best fits your audience:
-
Community voice (default)
Warm, inclusive, plain language, focused on community impact. -
Easy read
Very simple language, short sentences, minimal numbers. -
Neutral analytical
Clear, factual, data-driven explanation. -
Policy & program lens
Highlights implications for services, policy, or programs.
Length options
Choose how detailed the summary should be:
-
Brief breakdown (default)
Short overview with key points and one implication. -
Medium analysis
More context, trends, and subgroup highlights. -
Full analysis
Detailed narrative with patterns, differences, and caveats.
Reviewing and saving the summary
After the summary is generated, you can:
-
Read it before saving
-
Add it to the Insight summary
- Edit the text (edits are never sent back to the AI model)
-
Regenerate with different tone or length (this replaces the previous AI draft)
When you save:
-
The summary is stored with an audit trail (who generated it, when, and how)
-
The Insight owner is notified if someone else made the update
Auto-regenerating summaries
You can turn on Auto-regenerate summary if you want the summary to update automatically when Insight data changes.
Important to know:
-
Auto-regeneration overwrites the entire summary
-
Editing the summary manually turns auto-regeneration off
-
The Insight owner is notified when an auto-regeneration occurs
AI disclaimer
When an AI-generated summary is used, you can show a disclaimer:
“This content was created with the help of generative AI. It may have been reviewed or edited by a human.”
The disclaimer is only shown when AI has contributed to the summary, and you can choose to toggle it on or off for public views.

Giving feedback
After generating a summary, you can give quick feedback using 👍 or 👎.
If you select 👎, you can tell us why (e.g. too vague, missing key points, hard to understand). This helps us improve future summaries.
Privacy, safety, and trust
Seer Data is governance-first by design.
-
No raw or identifiable data is sent to the AI
-
Only aggregated Insight data and metadata are used
-
All summaries are logged for audit and accountability
-
The AI is instructed to avoid speculation, bias, or harmful language
If the AI service is unavailable, you can still write or edit summaries manually.
If you need help interpreting a summary or deciding which tone to use, remember: the AI draft is a starting point and your judgement always comes first.
