Spot trends, discover your AI champions, and see which platforms drive the most engagement in one clear, dynamic view.
Introducing another ControlUp Innovation Guild solution! This time, we unlock the complete picture of AI in action across your organization! The new ControlUp AI Report dashboard provides real-time insights into how your teams leverage AI, showing how many employees are using AI apps and websites, how much time they spend on them, and which tools are taking the lead.
In this video, Chris talks to Doug and explains in more detail what value customers can get out of these new dashboards:
Why Monitor AI Usage in the Enterprise?
AI has moved from hype to daily utility, with tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini becoming fixtures in knowledge worker environments. But are your users adopting them? And are they using the right tools safely and productively?
With ControlUp’s AI Report dashboard, you can:
Measure organization-wide AI adoption by users and devices
Compare app-based vs. web-based AI tool usage
See how deeply AI is integrated into daily workflows by measuring time spent on these tools
Understand usage distribution to help with training, security, and policy planning

What can you track with the AI Report Dashboard?
AI Apps – Total Users: A stat panel showing how many unique users launched AI applications like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Cursor
Top 50 ChatGPT devices: See which devices have spent the most time on ChatGPT.com
AI Usage – % of Users: A donut chart visualizing the proportion of users leveraging AI tools versus those not yet onboard
AI Time Spent: Metrics showing the percentage of total active time users spent interacting with AI applications or websites, giving you a sense of engagement depth
Total Time Spent in AI: A time series graph that shows the amount of time people spend using AI tools. This helps you to track trends between days, weeks, and months
These widgets are fully filterable by device group and tag, allowing you to drill down per department, site, or user cohort.

Prepare for the Future of AI Devices—Track Copilot+ Readiness
Microsoft’s new Copilot+ Devices represent a major evolution in end-user computing. These devices are designed to run next-generation AI features directly on the endpoint, delivering enhanced productivity, personalization, and performance without relying entirely on the cloud.

To unlock these features, devices must meet strict hardware requirements:
Windows 11
16 GB RAM
256 GB SSD
Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with 40+ TOPS (trillion operations per second)
Copilot+ is a game-changer—it powers new on-device AI experiences such as:
Recall: Search your past activities using natural language to instantly retrieve files, emails, websites, and app interactions—even screenshots
Cocreator in Paint: Generate AI-powered art using prompts directly in Microsoft Paint
Live Captions with Translation: Automatically subtitle any audio from any app, with real-time translation
Studio Effects 2.0: AI-driven video enhancements like eye contact correction and background blur during video calls, processed locally
Since the NPU is needed for Copilot+ and not upgradeable, knowing which of your existing endpoints are ready is critical for futureproofing.

How can the AI Report dashboard help with Copilot+ readiness?
Instantly filter and identify Copilot+ ready endpoints
Target non-compliant devices for upgrade or refresh
Support executive decision-making for procurement and rollout
Whether you’re piloting Copilot+ devices or planning for mass adoption, this visibility gives your IT team the clarity and control it needs.
Built on Grafana, Backed by ControlUp
