Interactive Surfaces bring the full Shadowfax platform to life
Pre-release preview of our most requested feature: a lightning-fast surface builder that fuses spreadsheet-like reactivity with governed analytics. Design once, deploy everywhere, and let AI keep every stakeholder in the loop.
What is it?
One canvas, many modalities
- The reactivity and agility of spreadsheets
- The interactivity & drill-down of dashboards
- The dynamic callback processing of apps
- The design flexibility of PowerPoint
Combined with the magical synthesis and conversational ability of AI.
Run mode
Deploy reactive workspaces that turn analysis into action
Share a secure URL, grant editor or viewer permissions, and share the power of fully dynamic decision tools with key stakeholders.
- Auto-refresh with new data and cascade changes across every dependency.
- Reviewer comments and AI follow-ups stay anchored to the surface context.
- Email or public links with granular edit/view scopes.
Conversational copilots
Drop an AI interface anywhere on the canvas
Interactive Surfaces support scoped interactive natural language assistants. Place it next to a specific view or data source, define the approved tables, and let stakeholders interrogate the data conversationally without leaving the surface.
- Limit each chat block to the views, metrics, or inputs it should reference.
- Store prompt presets so teams can re-ask common follow-ups in one click.
- Log every exchange with lineage so answers remain auditable.
Use cases
- "Explain the variance drivers in this revenue view."
- "Filter this cohort to LATAM hardware and summarize adoption trends."
- "Generate meeting-ready bullets summarizing everything on this surface."
Key capabilities
Apps, dashboards, and decision flows in one surface
The surface builder lets you place inputs, tables, narratives, charts and scoped conversational interfaces on a pre-sized grid. Drop in inputs, select your preferred input UI and have the page reactively update as values change.
The entire experience stays reactive like Excel, handles enterprise-scale datasets, and refreshes automatically with new data.
- Every input object can be rendered as a table or form. The underlying data type intelligently enables the right UI widget options.
- Drag-and-drop resizing and repositioning of any object on the grid.
- Text-based "synthesis" widgets for charts and tables. Tuned LLM prompts output refreshed takeaways every time inputs change.
- Rich table formatting: decimals, thousands separators, percents, borders, sort/filter, heatmaps, conditional formatting, and totals rows.
- Markdown-editable text blocks (headings, paragraphs, dividers) to explain context anywhere on the surface.
- Natural language AI input box tied to approved data sources so teams can ask follow-up questions beyond the predefined views.
- Shareable URLs with public or email-based permissioning. Editors' changes persist, while viewer experiments stay ephemeral.
