# Dot
DoControl's AI assistant
Dot is DoControl's AI assistant. It thinks like an elite security analyst, understands how people actually use SaaS apps, and continuously identifies insider risk across every workflow and data interaction, at massive scale.
{% hint style="info" %}
Dot is available to all customers as a beta feature.
{% endhint %}
Dot surfaces red flags so you can stop data exfiltration before it's too late. Key capabilities of Dot include:
* **Human-aware risk detection** - Understand intent and behavior, not just permissions
* **Full SaaS activity coverage** - Analyze billions of actions across apps, users, and data, showing data-based evidence at massive scale
* **Always-on security insight** - Deliver precise, analyst-level recommendations without fatigue or blind spots, and give recommended next steps to remediate insider risk
## Access Dot
You can access Dot in several ways:
1. Go to the left navigation bar, and click **Ask Dot** at the bottom.\
2. Navigate to the **Help** menu at the top of any DoControl page. Click **Ask Dot anything**.\
3. Click **⌘+/** anywhere in DoControl.
## Dot's knowledge scope
Dot is capable of answering questions from any of these domains:
* **SaaS events and identities -** Dot analyzes events and identities across your integrated SaaS apps to show data-based evidence at massive scale
* **DoControl product capabilities and features** - Based on DoControl's documentation and knowledge base
{% hint style="info" %}
For deep-dive analysis, Dot retrieves event data from **up to** the previous 24 hours.
{% endhint %}
Beyond text, Dot can also display infographics to reveal relevant exposure data:
## Dot's downloadable reports
You can ask Dot to turn its answers into a polished, branded report — PDF or Excel( xslx) — instead of just text in the chat.
* Works on summaries, tables, and charts (bar/line/pie)
* Fully DoControl-themed (logo, colors, footer disclaimer)
* Dot drops a download link right in the conversation, good for \~7 days
* Generate a PDF session or investigation summary
Just ask naturally, e.g., *"Generate a PDF report of our top high-risk users this month"* or *"Export the last 7 days of sharing activity to Excel"* and Dot will deliver.
\
Note: this is built for executive summaries, data analysis, and conclusions — curated tables, charts, and key findings — not bulk raw data dumps. It's best for requests like "top 20 risky users with insights," not "export all 50k events."
For large raw extracts, stick with the usual export paths.
## LLM disclaimer
Dot leverages large language models (LLM) by reading your natural language question and translating it to the most relevant area in the DoControl product. This helps you to find exactly what you're looking for faster and more accurately.\
**For example** if you ask, Who are the riskiest users in the Marketing department?\
DoControl displays Marketing department users with critical risk.
**We do not share or store customer data with any LLM engine**. DoControl only translates and maps your question to a relevant area in the product. When you search for specific data items in global search, DoControl leverages internal search capabilities, and not LLM.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/help/dot.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
