Artifacts

Artifacts are the dashboards, reports, comparisons, scorecards, diagrams, and explicitly saved generated files CloudThinker agents create from your connected cloud data. Generated files appear in the conversation first. Click Save to artifacts to add one to the Files gallery. Describe the insight you need in plain language, and the agent builds a data-backed visual from your connections. Charts are components of dashboards and reports, not standalone Artifact types.

How it works

Ask — send a prompt using the CloudThinker Language syntax: @agent #tool instruction.
Gather — the agent queries live data across your connections: Cost Explorer, CloudWatch, databases, and more.
Generate — the agent assembles an Artifact with charts, tables, and a written summary.
Save, download, or rerun — save generated files to Files, download supported Artifacts as PDFs from their PDF URLs, or schedule the prompt to run again.

A scheduled task reruns its prompt in a new scheduled conversation. It may create a fresh Artifact; it does not refresh an existing Artifact in place.

Artifact types

Artifact	Description
Dashboard	A multi-widget view of related metrics
Report	A narrative analysis with data, findings, and recommendations
Comparison	A view that contrasts items, time periods, or environments
Scorecard	An assessment against defined criteria
Diagram	A visual of relationships or flows
Saved generated file	A file shown in the conversation until you select Save to artifacts, which adds it to the Files gallery

Charts are components of dashboards and reports. The #chart tag is not a standalone Artifact type.

Example prompts

Start with a one-line request — agents pick sensible defaults for scope and time range:

@alex #dashboard AWS spending by service for the last 30 days
@oliver #report quarterly security assessment across all accounts
@kai #dashboard cluster resource utilization

Cost analysis dashboard

Add structure to the instruction when you need specific breakdowns:

@alex #dashboard Generate a comprehensive AWS cost dashboard for [start_date] to [end_date].

Include:
- Monthly spending trends by service with month-over-month growth rates
- Top 10 cost drivers and their utilization patterns
- Reserved Instance vs On-Demand cost comparison
- Cost anomalies and optimization opportunities with estimated savings

Segment by: [cost allocation tags such as environment, team, or application]

Cross-domain dashboard

Ask Anna to correlate data that lives in different systems:

@anna #dashboard Create an operational dashboard correlating database performance with infrastructure costs for [time_period].

Analyze:
- Aurora and DocumentDB query performance metrics
- Resource utilization and spending patterns
- Correlation between database load and compute and storage costs

Context: [recent changes, migrations, or specific concerns]

Database and infrastructure correlation dashboard

Charts in dashboards and reports

Ask for a chart as part of a dashboard or report:

@tony #dashboard Create a dashboard for Aurora cluster [cluster-identifier] over the past [time_period].

- Include a query execution time chart with p50, p95, and p99 query latency
- Separate lines for read queries vs write queries
- Highlight queries exceeding [threshold] ms

Aurora query performance time-series chart

Reusable templates

Save parameterized prompts as templates for recurring investigations, then fill in the {variables} on each run:

Template: database_performance_review
@tony #dashboard Create a performance dashboard for Aurora cluster {cluster_id} covering {time_period}.

Include:
- Slow query analysis (queries exceeding {latency_threshold} ms)
- Resource utilization trends (CPU, memory, IOPS)
- Replica lag monitoring
- Connection pool health

Compare against baseline: {comparison_period}
Alert on: queries exceeding p95 latency of {latency_threshold} ms

Template: cost_anomaly_investigation
@alex #report Investigate the cost anomaly for {service_name} on {date}.

- Compare costs to the 7-day and 30-day averages
- Break down by cost component (compute, storage, I/O, data transfer)
- Identify the specific resources driving the increase and quantify the impact
- Recommend immediate actions to mitigate ongoing cost increases

For example, run database_performance_review with cluster_id=production-aurora-cluster, time_period="past 7 days", comparison_period="previous 30 days", and latency_threshold=200.
