Ask is the AI interface to OGLAS. Type a question the way you’d say it out loud — “look at the battery data on the main house and explain the failure” — and it answers from your own data: it reads the readings, works out what actually happened, draws the chart, and tells you what to do next.
It’s not a chatbot bolted on the side. Ask has direct access to the same data your sensors log to Local and Cloud — every station, every metric, the full history. The answers are grounded in your numbers, not a generic guess.
And it stays yours. Ask runs on your site, against data that never has to leave it — or across sites when you want one view over the lot. No readings handed to a third party to get an answer. See Your data is your data.
A few real questions, answered — tap any screen for a closer look:
“Explain the battery failure” — root cause, timeline and a chart, from the raw readings
Asks the right chart for the question — here a proper wind rose with speed bins
“Compare inside and outside temperatures” — sensors lined up on one timeline
“Weekly solar yield as a line chart… now a pie” — reshape it on the fly
What you can ask
- Plain-English questions — no query language, no dashboard to build first. Ask what you want to know.
- Across the whole site — it knows your stations and sensors by name, and which ones are tagged inside, outside, main house, and so on.
- Across many sites — one question over every site you run, when you want the big picture rather than one shed at a time.
It does the work, not just the answer
Ask doesn’t stop at pulling a number — it analyses and assesses:
- Finds the root cause — walks the timeline, spots where solar collapsed, the battery drained, and the controller shut down, and lays out why.
- Draws the right chart — picks the chart that fits the question (line, bar, pie, wind rose), and will reshape it when you ask.
- Flags the issue and what to do — a clear summary and recommended actions: check the panels, the battery bank may need manual charging, visit the site.
Print it, share it
Every Ask answer exports to a clean PDF — hand it to whoever’s heading out to the site, or file it against the job. Here’s a real one: the MPPT North battery-failure analysis shown above, as a printable PDF.
Where Ask runs
- On your site — alongside Local, so questions are answered from data that never leaves the property.
- Across sites — on top of Cloud, for one view and one question over every site at once.
