AI Analysis

This page covers how AI analysis works in CLARITY and what to expect.

Built-In AI

CLARITY's AI analysis is built into the platform and managed by your CLARITY subscription tier. There is no separate configuration, API key, or external service to set up — AI capabilities are available out of the box based on your plan.

What AI Adds

When AI analysis is active, it augments the deterministic rule engine with:

  • Batch validation — Every recommendation, insight, and anomaly is reviewed by AI after each sync. Results appear as confidence badges (Agree, Partial, Disagree).
  • On-demand explanations — Click Explain on any finding to get root cause analysis, impact assessment, and step-by-step remediation actions.
  • Contextual awareness — AI considers your full usage history, resource relationships, and cloud best practices when evaluating findings.

Rule-Based Mode

On the Starter tier, CLARITY operates in rule-based mode:

  • All insights are generated by deterministic threshold rules (e.g., CPU < 5% = idle)
  • All recommendations are computed from usage metrics and pricing data
  • All anomalies are detected via statistical analysis of historical baselines

Rule-based mode is fully functional — AI adds an extra validation and explanation layer on top of the same underlying analysis.

Verifying AI Is Working

To confirm AI analysis is active:

  1. Trigger a cloud data sync from the dashboard
  2. Wait for the sync to complete
  3. Navigate to any recommendations or insights page
  4. Look for AI validation badges (Agree, Partial, Disagree) on findings
  5. Click Explain on any finding to test on-demand analysis

If badges do not appear after a sync, verify that your subscription tier includes AI analysis.
