AI Jobs
AI Jobs turn your process data into business-ready insight reports. You start a job from the New AI Job screen, choose how you want to begin, and the AI agent does the analysis and writes the reports for you. You can leave the page while it runs - the job finishes in the background and emails you when it is done.
Overview
An AI Job runs the mindzie reporting agent against your process data and produces a set of insight reports (bottlenecks, rework, variants, throughput, recommendations, and more). When you create a job you pick how to start, and that choice decides what the agent does first:
- You choose a starting point on the New AI Job screen
- You provide the data (an enriched dataset, or raw CSV files)
- You pick a report type
- The agent builds the reports and notifies you when finished
How to Access
- Open a project
- Click AI Jobs in the top navigation
- Click New to open the New AI Job screen
Choosing How to Start
The New AI Job screen groups the starting points into two sections.
AI Insight reports
These two on-ramps both produce the same thing - an AI Insight report. The only difference is the input you already have:
| On-ramp | Start here when | What the agent does |
|---|---|---|
| AI Insight report from a Dataset | You already have an enriched dataset or event log | Analyzes the dataset you pick and builds the reports |
| AI Insight report from CSV files | You have raw CSV exports but no event log yet | Builds the event log from your CSVs automatically, then builds the reports |
More ways
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Describe it in chat | Start an empty job and tell the agent what you want in your own words. Attach data with + Add files, or ask the agent to create a sample dataset for you. |
| Process Analyst (Alpha) | A data scientist for the project that builds analyses and dashboards directly into the project. This is an Alpha feature and only appears for tenants with PreRelease enabled. |
AI Insight Report from a Dataset
Use this on-ramp when your data has already been through the enrichment pipeline.
- Choose AI Insight report from a Dataset
- Select one or more enriched datasets to analyze
- Click Next: Report type
- Pick the report type and click Start
The agent never sees raw uploads on this path - only enriched datasets that have come through an enrichment pipeline. If no datasets appear, run an enrichment pipeline on your data first.
AI Insight Report from CSV Files
Use this on-ramp when you do not have an event log yet - for example a quick proof of concept where you just want to see results from raw exports.
- Choose AI Insight report from CSV files
- Upload your raw CSV files (up to 10)
- Click Next: Report type
- Pick the report type and click Start
You do not need to prepare an event log or map any columns. The agent builds a single process-mining event log from the files you upload - it detects the case id, activity, and timestamp columns automatically and joins multiple files where needed - and then generates the reports from that event log.
CSV upload notes
- You can upload up to 10 CSV files per job
- Remove a file with the x next to it before continuing
- Next: Report type stays disabled until at least one file is added
Report Types
Both AI Insight report on-ramps end on the same report-type step. Your choice becomes the opening instruction the agent works on; you can keep chatting with it afterwards.
| Report type | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Business-relevant process improvement reports | Bottlenecks, rework, failed cases, and the time or cost impact of each - with recommendations |
| Process mining research reports | Discovery and variants, throughput, conformance, rework loops, and bottleneck analysis with statistics |
| Write what you want me to create reports about | A free-text box where you describe the reports you want in your own words |
After You Start
- The job is named automatically (report type plus the date)
- You can leave the page - the agent keeps working in the background
- You receive an email when the report is finished
- Open the job again from the AI Jobs list to read the conversation and download the reports
Best Practices
Pick the right on-ramp: use from a Dataset when your data is already enriched, and from CSV files for a quick proof of concept with raw exports.
Keep CSV files focused: upload the files that describe one process so the agent can build a clean event log.
Start with a preset: the business improvement and process mining research presets cover most needs - use the free-text option only when you need something specific.
Let it run: you do not need to wait on the page. The completion email links straight back to the finished job.
Troubleshooting
No datasets available (from a Dataset)
Solution: The agent only analyzes enriched datasets. Run an enrichment pipeline on your data in the Data Designer, then start the job again.
The agent built an unexpected event log (from CSV files)
Solution: The agent infers the case, activity, and timestamp columns from your CSVs. If the result looks wrong, continue the conversation on the job page and tell the agent which columns to use, or upload cleaner files and start a new job.
I do not see Process Analyst
Solution: Process Analyst is an Alpha feature and only appears for tenants with PreRelease enabled. The two AI Insight report on-ramps and Describe it in chat are always available.
