The AIoT Chat is a conversational AI assistant built directly into Ubidots. Instead of navigating dashboards, digging through device lists, and checking variables one by one, you type a question in plain language and the assistant fetches real data from your platform to answer it.
Think of it as a 24/7 data analyst for your IoT fleet: it reads what's already in your Ubidots account, analyzes it, and tells you what's happening and what you should look at next.
Requirements
Trials and Professional, Industrial, and Enterprise plans.
1. How to access the AIoT Chat
From any page in your Ubidots account, click AIoT Chat in the navigation menu. You will land on the AIoT Chat welcome screen.
Tip: The welcome screen displays a rotating set of example queries tailored to your fleet. Click any of them to run a query instantly without typing. |
2. Using the AIoT Chat
Start a new conversation
Click + New Chat to open a fresh session. Previous conversations are saved in the sidebar so you can revisit them at any time.
Ask a question in plain language
Type your question in the input field at the bottom. You can ask about fleet status, specific devices, variable trends, anomalies, or active alerts.
Provide context if prompted
For broad queries, the assistant may ask you to narrow the scope — for example, a specific device, time range, or variable. The more context you include upfront, the faster and more precise the response.
Review the response and follow up
The assistant returns a structured summary based on your real platform data. You can continue the conversation in the same thread to drill down into specific devices or timeframes mentioned in the response.
Note: Each conversation is independent. Context from one chat session is not carried over to a new one. |
3. What the AIoT Chat can and cannot do
The AIoT Chat is a read-only analyst. It queries and interprets the data already in your Ubidots account — it does not take actions or modify your configuration.

4. Usage and billing
Usage is measured in AI credits. Characters in both your prompt and the assistant's response count toward consumption.
Monthly included credits | 1,000 credits / month |
Approximate character equivalent | ~4 million characters (English) |
Overage billing unit | Blocks of 1,000 credits |
Cost per overage block | $2 USD |
The monthly allowance is a soft limit. You will receive a notification as you approach it. Overage charges apply only when usage exceeds the included 1,000 credits.
Heads up: Credits are shared across all conversations in your account during the billing period. Broad queries that fetch large datasets will consume more credits than targeted, specific questions. |
