Aria Chat

Aria Chat is an assistant for investigating the project you currently have open in Proximal. It can help you explore project performance, equipment, events, and other operational information without leaving the project workspace.

Start a conversation

1. Open the project you want to investigate.
2. Select Aria in the project navigation.
3. Enter a question in the chat box.
4. Press Enter or select Send.

Aria uses the context of the open project. Switch to the relevant project before asking about its data or operations.

Clear questions produce more useful answers. Include the relevant time period, equipment, or metric when possible. For example:

What were the largest production-impacting events at this project last week, and which ones are still open?

Aria's response may include text, tables, charts, record summaries, and related questions. Select a related question to continue the investigation.

Work with a response

Aria displays its progress while preparing an answer. Wait for the response to finish before relying on it.

To stop a response, select Stop in the chat box or press Escape. If you send another message while Aria is working, the message is placed in a queue. After the current response finishes, select Steer to send the queued message, or remove it if it is no longer needed.

Aria can make mistakes. Verify critical answers against project records and source data before taking action.

Use conversation history

Recent conversations for the open project appear in the navigation panel. Select a conversation to reopen it. On smaller screens, open the navigation panel to see recent conversations.

• Select New conversation to start with an empty chat.
• Select the delete button beside a recent conversation to remove it.

Export a conversation

After sending a message, use the export button at the top of the chat to:

• copy the conversation as Markdown;
• download the conversation as a Markdown file.

The export includes conversation content and diagnostic details. Review it for sensitive project information before sharing it, and attach it to a support request when troubleshooting an Aria response.

Keyboard controls
