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.
| Tier | AI Analysis |
|---|---|
| Starter | Rule-based analysis only |
| Pro | Full AI analysis (batch validation + on-demand explain) |
| Business | Full AI analysis |
| Enterprise | Full AI analysis |
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:
- Trigger a cloud data sync from the dashboard
- Wait for the sync to complete
- Navigate to any recommendations or insights page
- Look for AI validation badges (
Agree,Partial,Disagree) on findings - 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.
