Ask questions about your organization’s Wayground usage in plain language and get the answer as a table, a single number, or a chart, without building a report by hand.

New to the area? Start with Get Started with Usage Analytics. For the at-a-glance sections, see The Overview Dashboard; for the detailed tables, see Reports: Detailed Data Tables.

What it is

Ask Wayground AI is a chat assistant built into Usage Analytics. It opens as a panel beside your dashboard and answers questions about your organization’s usage. It introduces itself as “Hi, I’m Wayground AI, your personal analyst on the tool. How can I help you?”

It’s the same plain-language capability behind the Ask anything prompts on the Overview, presented as a full chat. Use it for quick, specific questions; use Reports when you need the complete, exportable dataset.

Note: A reminder appears in the panel: “AI may make mistakes, verify with the reports section.” Treat answers as a fast first read and confirm important numbers against Reports.

Open it

Open Ask Wayground AI from the dashboard. It appears as a panel on the right-hand side of the screen, over either the Overview or Reports.

New conversation: select New (top right of the panel) to start a fresh chat
Close: select the ✕ to return to the dashboard

Ask a question

Type a question in the box (“Ask anything about your analytics data…”), or select a suggested prompt to start. Examples shown in the product include:

“Top teachers by usage last month”
“Total science video sessions this school year”
“Monthly trend of % accommodated games”

After the first answer, the box changes to “Ask a follow-up question…” so you can keep refining within the same conversation.

How answers appear

The answer comes back in whichever format fits the question:

A table for list-style questions (for example, top teachers, with each teacher’s email and school)
A single number for totals (for example, total English passage sessions last month)
A line chart for trends over time (for example, the monthly trend of sessions)

Each answer includes feedback and copy controls:

Thumbs up / thumbs down to rate the answer
Copy to copy the answer

Page through table answers using the controls beneath them.

What you can ask about

The assistant covers your Usage Analytics data only. If a question falls outside what it can answer, it says so and points you to the topics it covers. The in-product message reads:

“I wasn’t able to answer that question. Try asking about teacher activity, feature usage, accommodation analytics, standards coverage, or student participation counts.”

In other words, the strongest questions target these areas:

Topic	Example questions
Teacher usage	Top teachers by usage; active teachers over time
Feature usage	Resource types used; share of sessions by type
Accommodation analytics	Students accommodated; most-used accommodations or categories
Standards coverage	Most-used standards; usage for a specific standard
Student participation counts	Responses or sessions; participation totals and trends

Tips

Tip: For the full, sortable, exportable detail behind an answer, open the matching Reports table. The assistant is best for quick questions; Reports is best for complete records and Export.
