FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can my AI start a new automation job?

    No. The AI can only list existing jobs and retrieve details about them.

  • 02

    Can the AI fix a failed extraction for me?

    No. The AI can tell you that a job failed, but you have to go into Captain Data to fix the logic or settings.

  • 03

    Can I delete jobs through the chat?

    No. There are no tools available to delete or modify automation jobs through the chat interface.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my extracted data?

    The AI only sees the job status and metadata. It doesn't automatically pull the full datasets unless you ask for specific job details.

  • 05

    How often does the status update?

    The status is live because the AI calls the tools every time you ask a question.
