Use Cases
Pluely for Analysts: Dashboards, Data Calls & Reports
You're mid-briefing, slide four, and an executive asks why churn spiked in March — a fair question you didn't prep. You're driving the deck, the room is waiting, and the answer lives in a dashboard two tabs away. Pluely is built for exactly this moment: screenshot the chart, ask, and get a streaming answer in a quiet overlay — while the whole briefing is transcribed behind you, so the decision made in the verbal back-and-forth doesn't evaporate when the call ends.
Working with data on screen
- Chart and dashboard questions — capture any visualization with image uploads (full screen or just a region) and ask Ask mode to help you articulate what it shows in plain language for a non-technical audience.
- Walkthroughs without re-screenshotting — flip on the "Use image" toggle and every question automatically carries the current screen, so stepping through a dashboard view by view is one question per screen, not one screenshot per question.
- Spreadsheet sanity checks — screenshot an odd figure or a formula result and reason through whether it looks right before you present it as fact.
- Consistent definitions — attach your metric definitions and methodology notes (PDF) to a custom prompt in Prompts, so every explanation Pluely drafts uses your team's own terminology.
During stakeholder briefings
Switch on Listen mode for review calls — it captures the room's audio locally with speaker labels, no bot joins, and it works with any meeting app. Decisions get made in the discussion around a chart, not in its caption; the transcript catches them verbatim. For recurring metric questions, Automatic responses drafts an answer each time a question lands — built from your prompt, the definitions attached to it, and the live transcript. It detects questions even without a question mark, never interrupts mid-sentence, and won't answer the same question twice.
After the call
Every briefing is saved locally as a reopenable meeting in Meetings. Generate a summary of the questions raised and how you answered them — usually more useful than the deck itself — plus action items when the briefing spawns a follow-up analysis, and key points to seed the written readout so it doesn't depend on anyone's memory of the room.
How to set it up
- Switch to Listen mode before a data review call, or use Ask mode standalone at your desk.
- Grant microphone and screen-recording permission so stakeholder audio is captured.
- Press Start listening as the call begins — the overlay stays discreet on screen shares, so your audience sees the dashboard, not your copilot.
- Screenshot any chart or table the moment you need help explaining it.
- Press Stop when the briefing ends; the meeting saves automatically.
- Generate the summary and route follow-ups into your analysis backlog.
Tips
- Verify every number independently before it enters a final report — Pluely is a thinking aid, not a calculation engine of record.
- Each response uses one AI request and only successful requests count against your allowance — meters are always visible in Plans & usage.
- Choose a model strong at precise, structured language for written readouts aimed at broad audiences.
- Tie meeting names to the report or dashboard discussed so the transcript surfaces instantly when a stakeholder circles back.
