  • Generate reports: The agent can generate valid Evidence markdown, including the SQL queries and chart components to create reports from your data.
  • Edit reports: The agent can edit the markdown of your reports, including adding or removing components.
  • Read the schema: The agent can read the schema of your data sources, and use it to generate valid SQL queries.
  • Fix errors: The agent can fix errors in the editor, including invalid SQL queries and missing components.
  • Read documentation: The agent can answer general questions about Evidence Studio, including how to use the editor, and how to use the agent.
The Evidence Agent suggests changes in a “diff view”, which you can accept, reject, or send another message to improve.

AI Models

The Evidence Agent uses:
  • OpenAI GPT-4o: For general purpose reasoning.
  • Mistral Codestral Latest: For generating Evidence markdown.
Data from your data sources is never sent to these models. The only information sent to the models is the schema of your data sources, and relevant markdown of your reports, when you request it.
