The assistant can:
* **List Apps** - List all apps in your workspace with their IDs and names.
* **Get App Details** - Return full details about an app, including integrations, connectors, vendors, tables, queries, and canvases.
* **Explore Data** - Ask natural language questions about your environment, security posture, compliance, and more. Uses Sola's graph intelligence and security domain expertise.
* **Run Existing Query** - Run a saved query from your workspace by name or ID. Just ask the assistant to run a specific query and it will return the results directly in Slack.
For example, you can ask the assistant:
```
What apps do I have in my workspace?
```
```
Show me the details of my AWS security app
```
```
What are my most critical misconfigurations across AWS and Okta?
```
```
Run my "Admin access review" query
```
