Grafana Assistant is an AI-powered tool now available in public preview for Grafana Cloud users, designed to streamline the onboarding process for teams using the platform. It aids users in learning observability concepts, comparing features from different tools, and providing context-aware answers to enhance their experience. By offering tailored guidance and interactive tutorials, Grafana Assistant aims to help users quickly and effectively adopt Grafana for their observability needs.

Grafana Labs has introduced new data sources to enhance its observability platform, allowing users to visualize and analyze data from various applications and databases, including Amazon Aurora, Zendesk, and Azure CosmosDB. These updates, showcased at GrafanaCON 2025, aim to unify data querying and visualization from disparate systems within a centralized Grafana dashboard.
