Getting Started
The Agent (formerly Copilot) is available to all Vendo users with an active account and at least one configured data source.
Opening the Agent
- Log in to your Vendo account
- Click Agent in the left sidebar (sparkles icon, first item)
- The Agent opens in a split-screen view with chat on the left and a canvas on the right
Your First Interaction
The welcome screen shows three suggested prompts to get you started:
- Build a churn prediction model — Creates a Python model from your data
- Segment users by behavior — Analyzes user patterns
- Explore my datasets — Lists your available BigQuery datasets and tables
Click any prompt or type your own question in the input field at the bottom.
Example: Exploring Your Data
Type:
Show me what datasets and tables I have available
The Agent will:
- Browse your BigQuery datasets
- List all tables with row counts
- Summarize what data you have (event data, user profiles, etc.)
You’ll see the Agent’s progress in a collapsible activity timeline that shows each step (browsing datasets, listing tables, etc.).
Example: Asking a Data Question
Type:
How many events do I have by event name? Top 10
The Agent will:
- Identify the relevant table
- Write a SQL query
- Execute it against BigQuery
- Display the results in a sortable table on the right panel
Example: Building a Model
Type:
Build a churn prediction model using my Mixpanel data
The Agent will:
- Browse your source datasets
- Inspect table schemas to find relevant columns
- Generate Python code for the model
- Display the model configuration on the right panel
- Run a preview to validate the output
Conversation History
Your conversations are automatically saved and can be resumed later:
- Click the clock icon in the Agent header to see previous conversations
- Click any conversation to resume it with full context
- Click New Chat to start a fresh conversation
- Delete old conversations with the trash icon
Conversations are saved per-user — other team members cannot see your chat history.
Tips
- Be specific — “Show me revenue by month for the last 6 months” works better than “show me revenue”
- The Agent is proactive — It will browse your data automatically without asking clarifying questions
- Results persist in the canvas — The right panel keeps showing the last query result or model config until you start a new task
- Use Enter to send — Press Enter to send a message, Shift+Enter for a new line
- Switch models mid-conversation — Change the AI model from the dropdown without losing your chat history
