Stories turn a chat analysis into a persistent, shareable document — with live charts, tables, and narrative text — that you can revisit, refine, and distribute to your team.

Creating a Story

Stories are created directly from a chat conversation. Simply ask the agent to write one:
“Write a story about our new user growth since the last release.” “Create a story summarizing MRR trends over the past quarter.”
The agent will:
  1. Run the relevant queries against your data.
  2. Compose a structured document with narrative text, charts, and tables embedded inline.
  3. Open the story in a side panel next to the chat thread.

Editing a Story

Once a story is open in the side panel, click the pencil icon to switch to edit mode. The editor is Notion-style: every block (text, chart, table) can be dragged and reordered using the grip handle on the left. You can edit text in rich markdown, rearrange sections, and remove blocks you don’t need. When you’re done, click Save — this creates a new version of the story. To discard your changes, click Cancel.

Versions

Every time you save a story, nao creates a new version. Use the version navigator in the story header (v1 / v2 / ...) to browse previous versions.
  • ← / → arrows step through versions.
  • When viewing an older version, a Restore button lets you roll back to that version (creating a new version from it).
Recipients who receive a shared link always see the latest version automatically.

Adding a Chart from the Thread

When the agent produces a chart in the chat thread, you can embed it directly into a story:
  1. Open the story side panel.
  2. Ask the agent to add the chart: “Add this chart to the story.”
The chart is embedded as a live block — it renders with the same query data and can be repositioned in the editor like any other block.

Sharing a Story

Click the share icon in the story header to open sharing settings. You can share with:

Entire project

All members of your nao project can view the story via the shared link.

Specific people

Search by name or email and select individual team members.
Clicking Share & copy link copies the URL to your clipboard. Recipients open the story in their browser — they always see the latest version. Managing an existing share Once a story is shared, the share icon turns green. Click it again to:
  • Copy link — grab the URL again.
  • Update access — add or remove specific people (for specific-person shares).
  • Unshare — revoke access and disable the link entirely.

Stories Library

The Stories Library is your central hub for all stories. Access it by clicking Stories in the left sidebar. Stories Library The library shows:
  • My Stories — stories you created.
  • Shared with me — stories other team members have shared with you.
You can switch between a grid view (thumbnail cards) and a list view, search by title, and group stories by ownership, date, or author.
