Mira Insights
Mira doesn't just answer questions — she watches your financial data in the background and surfaces observations when something in it is worth knowing. This means you don't have to constantly check your numbers to stay on top of your business.
Looking for the alert system? Automated threshold notifications — low cash, budget variance, expense spikes, sync delays — are covered in Smart Alerts, including how to configure them and who receives them. This article is about the insights Mira surfaces on her own.
What are Mira Insights?
Insights are observations Mira surfaces based on patterns and changes she detects in your data. They're designed to give you context — not just what the numbers say, but what they mean.
Examples of insights Mira might surface:
A revenue account that's trending significantly above or below forecast
An expense category that's grown faster than your revenue over the past 90 days
A month where your gross margin dipped outside of its normal range
A positive trend — like three consecutive months of improving net income
Insights are written in plain language so they're easy to act on, even without a finance background.
Insights vs. Smart Alerts
The difference is who decides what matters:
Insights are Mira's own observations. Nothing has to cross a threshold — she surfaces a pattern because it's interesting or unusual.
Smart Alerts fire when a defined condition is met, like a cash balance forecast to fall below a set level. You configure those thresholds yourself.
Where do I see insights?
The Dashboard — key insights appear here so you see them as soon as you log in.
The Mira chat — ask directly: "What should I be paying attention to right now?"
Email — depending on your notification settings, Mira can send insights to your inbox.
Acting on an insight
Every insight links directly to the relevant part of your Clockwork account — your Financial Model, Cash Flow, or a specific metric. From there you can dig in, ask Mira follow-up questions, or take action like adjusting a forecast assumption or updating an invoice.
