# Astro (https://www.getfounderhq.com/docs/astro)

Astro is the assistant built into FounderHQ. In each product it does that
product's work: it answers questions about your data, writes and edits,
and makes changes you ask for.

Astro runs on an AI provider that you connect. See
[AI providers](/account/ai-providers).

## Where to find Astro

| Product | Where | What Astro does there |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Analytics](/analytics) | **Chats** in the sidebar, and **Ask Astro** on a dashboard | Answers questions about traffic, revenue, and people. Builds insights and dashboards. Creates segments and goals. |
| Publish | The **Astro** panel in the article editor | Rewrites sections, adds examples, changes tone, makes images |
| Compose | The chat | Brainstorms ideas and drafts LinkedIn posts in your voice |
| [Studio](/studio) | **Create**, the editor, and each avatar | Plans and generates videos, edits the timeline, refines avatars |
| [Journeys](/journeys) | **Astro** in the editor | Creates screens, adds blocks, sets up routing and themes |
| [Sequences](/sequences) | **Astro** in the builder, and in the email editor | Designs a sequence, writes and rewrites messages, reports on results |

Each chat belongs to the product you are in. Astro in Analytics does not
edit your Publish article.

## Things to ask

| In | Try |
| --- | --- |
| Analytics | "Compare my acquisition sources and explain the difference in conversion." |
| Analytics | "Add an insight on visitors this month." |
| Publish | "Tighten the introduction." |
| Compose | "Give me five post ideas about our launch." |
| Studio | "Trim the dead air at the start and end." |
| Journeys | "Add a quiz question." |
| Sequences | "Design a 4-email welcome sequence for new signups." |

## Reads and changes

Astro can read your data and it can change things. How a change reaches
you depends on the product.

| Product | How Astro's changes arrive |
| --- | --- |
| Analytics, Sequences | A change your team shares waits for your approval. See [Approve changes](/astro/approve-changes). |
| Publish, Compose, Studio | Astro edits the draft in front of you. Version history lets you go back. |
| Journeys | Astro's edits are unsaved changes in the editor. Nothing is live until you save and publish. |

## What Astro costs

Astro's chats, writing, and image generation use the AI provider you
connected. The only thing that uses FounderHQ credits is video generation
in Studio. See [Credits](/account/credits).
