Living Dashboards

Definition: Living Dashboards are Genesis-powered dashboards that go beyond static data display. They track, visualize, analyze, and act in real-time — connecting to your AI agents and automations to create intelligence that moves.

What Makes Dashboards "Living"?

Traditional Dashboards:

• Display static snapshots of data
• Require manual refresh and updates
• Show information but don't act on it
• Disconnected from business processes

Living Dashboards:

• Update in real-time as data changes
• AI agents analyze patterns and anomalies
• Automations trigger actions based on thresholds
• Fully connected to your workspace DNA

How Living Dashboards Work

Real-Time Data Flow:

1. Data enters from forms, integrations, or manual input
2. AI agents analyze and categorize information
3. Visualizations update instantly
4. Automations trigger when conditions are met
5. Notifications alert relevant team members

The Intelligence Layer:

• Pattern recognition identifies trends
• Anomaly detection spots problems early
• Predictive analytics forecast future states
• Recommendations suggest actions
