And that&rsquo;s just one place Assistant now meets you — also announced: the <strong>Grafana mobile app is GA</strong> (with Assistant on mobile in public preview), <strong>Assistant Desktop</strong> in public preview, <strong>Microsoft Teams</strong> support in private preview, and context-aware <strong>Assistant Search</strong> in public preview. Add it all up and Assistant is now wherever you are: the Grafana UI, the API, your terminal, your coding agent, Slack, Teams, mobile, desktop, and search. That&rsquo;s a wrap on five days of announcements.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/obBh4pMrHCM?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="transcript">Transcript</h2> <p>It&rsquo;s the final day of Grafana Labs&rsquo; AI Week, and Friday is all about <strong>collaborating</strong> — using AI right where your team already works, no context switching required.</p> <p>Today, <strong>Grafana Assistant in Slack is generally available.</strong> Investigate issues, ask follow-up questions, query your metrics and logs — all from the channel where your incident conversation is already happening.</p> <p>And that&rsquo;s just one place Assistant now meets you.

So if you missed a day, or you just want the full picture of where AI at Grafana stands today, I made a video for exactly that: everything you can do with AI in Grafana Cloud, including everything we shipped this week. It&rsquo;s linked below and pinned in the comments.</p> <p>One last time: <strong>grafana.ai</strong> for all of it. Thanks for spending AI Week with me.</p>
