Get group insights with Ask AI

Overview

DataCamp has released Ask AI, a feature specifically designed for Group Admins and managers to get data about their teams, their learning, member list, and more. 🚀 🙌 

Ask AI is a built-in assistant that lets you ask questions about your organization's learning activity and, where permitted, take management actions — all in plain language, without needing to navigate reports or admin screens manually.

Ask AI scope is limited to Group pages: it can surface reporting and insights on your group, teams within it, and learners. It can also help with group management tasks (like adding members or updating assignments). It does not perform actions outside the Group, and it cannot access or change anything beyond what your role is permitted to see and do.

Where can I find the Ask AI feature? 

This will show as a prompt box at the top of several of your group tabs:

You can also access it directly by going to "Ask AI" in the left side menu 

Who can do what

What you can do with Ask AI depends on your role in the group:

For more details about roles and their permissions, please check this article. 

Only admins can use Ask AI for reporting questions (e.g. course completion rates, engagement trends). Managers and team managers can only use it for management tasks — and only for the groups or teams they manage.

Reporting & Insights

Available to admins only.

Admins can use Ask AI to get insights about the group. The chat presents the answers in one of five formats, chosen automatically based on the question and the most suitable template for the type of data answered.

1. Tables

💡  Best for detailed, row-by-row data — e.g. a list of learners with their progress.

Example prompt: "Who are our top performers?"

2. Bar chart

💡  Best for comparing values across categories.

Example prompt: "Compare course completions across all teams this quarter."

3. Line chart

💡  Best for trends over time.

4. Pie chart

💡  Best for showing proportions of a whole.

5. Content-search cards

Available to everyone — admins, managers, and team managers.

💡  Best for finding specific courses, tracks, or learning content.

Example prompt: "Find AI native courses that are beginner-friendly."

Group management actions & approvals

Available to admins, managers, and team managers, within their scope.

Ask AI can help with group and team management tasks, such as:

• Members & invites: inviting members to a group, creating or removing invite links, withdrawing pending invites, and updating a member's role or license
• Teams: creating, renaming, or deleting a team, and adding or removing team members
• Assignments: creating group or team assignments, adding members to an existing assignment, updating an assignment, and archiving, unarchiving, or deleting one
• Waitlist: approving or denying waitlist entries
• Custom tracks: creating, editing, publishing, or archiving a custom track, and creating or updating external resources within a track. (Available only for Enterprise plans)

No action is ever executed immediately. Whenever you use Ask AI chat to make a change, it first shows you exactly what it's about to do and asks for your explicit confirmation. Nothing is applied until you approve it, so there's no risk of an unintended change happening from a misread request.

Important to Know

• Scope: Ask AI only knows about Group data and actions. It can't answer questions about other parts of the platform.
• Role-based access: reporting is admin-only; managers and team managers get management tools scoped to their own groups/teams (see "Who Can Do What" above).
• Approvals: management actions always require your explicit confirmation before anything is applied.
• AI accuracy: Ask AI can make mistakes, especially with ambiguous or very broad questions. Always double-check results before relying on them for decisions.

Is this available for my group? 

• At the moment, this is available only for groups on the Teams plan. 
• Please also note that Ask AI requires AI features to be enabled to be accessible to your group. 

FAQ

What can Ask AI help with? 

Only things within Group pages: reporting and insights on your groups/teams (admins), and group/team management tasks (admins, managers, team managers). It can't help with anything outside Group pages.

Why can't I (as a manager) ask reporting questions? 

Reporting access is limited to admins. Managers and team managers can use the AI Chat for management tasks only, within the groups/teams they manage.

Will Ask AI make changes without asking me first? 

No. Every management action is shown to you for confirmation before it's applied — nothing happens automatically.
