Weekly Tips & Tricks

Hey there,

 

Two weeks ago, we gave you a sneak peek at what was coming. Tonight, it's here.
 

What the AI Advisor does

Think of it as a knowledgeable business partner sitting alongside your data. Ask it questions, and it pulls from your actual KPIs, priorities, and progress to give you a real answer — not a generic one.

  • Ask questions about your business data. Why is a number trending the wrong way? How are priorities tracking this quarter? The answers come from what's actually happening in Align.
  • Get insights on your KPIs and priorities. The AI Advisor connects the dots between your numbers and your goals so you can see the full picture faster.
  • Get recommendations on where to focus. Whether you're a CEO or a frontline team member, it helps cut through the noise and point to what moves the needle.
AI Advisor - Quick Launch
Who it's for
Everyone on your team. This isn't just an executive tool. A frontline team member can use it to understand their own priorities better. A manager can use it to check in on team progress without scheduling another meeting. A CEO can use it to get a quick read on where the business stands before a tough conversation.
 
One thing that makes it work better
The AI Advisor is only as good as the data behind it. Teams that keep their numbers updated, build out their priorities fully, and run consistent huddles will get sharper, more useful insights. If your system is clean and current, the AI Advisor becomes genuinely powerful.

How the AI Advisor sees your business

By default, it only has access to information you're personally connected to — your Company Dashboard, your One-Page Strategic Plan, the huddles you're in, and your My Dashboard.

 

That means if your CEO isn't in your weekly sales huddle, the AI Advisor has no idea what's happening in sales. That gap creates blind spots.

 

Action recommended: Turn on the AI checkbox in your huddles — thoughtfully.

 

Inside each huddle, there's an AI checkbox. When you turn it on, that huddle's information becomes available to everyone in your organization using the AI Advisor.

 

For team meetings, sales standups, and ops huddles, that's exactly what you want. For 1:1s or leadership syncs where sensitive topics come up, leave it off. A simple rule: if you'd be comfortable with anyone in the company seeing a summary, turn it on. If not, leave it off.

 

The more relevant context the AI Advisor has, the better it performs — and you control exactly what that context includes.

 

We're excited about this one. Log in and explore.

Let’s put it to work.
