LearnBoard
It Reads the Chart,
so Nobody Has to.
- Reads any card back in plain English
- Names the movers, the watch list and what to do
- Every query validated read-only
The two modes, and what each one does
Mode A, ask a question
A question in English becomes a query against your data
The assistant is given your schema, never your rows. What it writes goes through a validator before anything runs: every write verb rejected, an allowlist of analytical Moodle tables, cross-schema references refused, and a hard row limit injected. The generated SQL is never sent to the browser.
Mode B, explain this card
Any chart on screen, read back to you in a few sentences
The Ask AI button on a card sends that card's already-aggregated figures, with no personal data in them, and gets back two to four sentences naming the highs, the lows and the one thing worth acting on. It opens in a drawer over the page you were already looking at.
Pinned answers
An answer can go on a board, as an answer
Pin an AI result and it saves a snapshot of the rows it returned. It stays static on purpose: an AI answer cannot live re-run, because the query behind it is never exposed. Every other pinned card does redraw live.
Ask AI
Every chart explains itself
There is an AI button on every dashboard, every chart and every table. Click it and LearnBoard reads the chart for you. Works with LearnNoow and Moodle.

What it is allowed to do
Six things stand between a question and your database.
The assistant is the part of an analytics product a security review asks about first. This is what is actually in place, from the product's own service layer.
Read only
The same validator as everything else
Anything generated is checked against the base query validator, which accepts only SELECT, WITH, SHOW, DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN. Being read-only is not something the assistant can opt out of.
Table allowlist
A positive list, not a blocklist
Only analytical Moodle tables are reachable. Every other table is rejected as a schema probe, even one with the right prefix.
No config tables
Admin, config, role and plugin tables blocked
A second regex layer refuses anything matching admin, config, version, theme, plugin or role fragments, as defence in depth behind the allowlist.
No cross-schema
information_schema and friends refused
References to information_schema, mysql, performance_schema and sys are rejected outright, so the assistant cannot look sideways out of your data.
Row cap
A limit is injected, not requested
A hard limit is added to every query the assistant runs, so no question can pull the table.
Audited
Including the questions we refuse
Every turn is written to the audit log. A question probing the platform's own internals is answered with a fixed deflection and logged as a separate row, so an organisation admin can see the attempt.
Questions
Questions about the assistant and what it is allowed to do.
What can the LearnBoard AI assistant answer?
Two things. It turns a plain-English question into a safe, read-only lookup against your connected LMS, and it reads a chart that is already on screen back to you in two to four sentences. The second mode is the Ask AI button that sits on every card.
Can the AI change our data?
No. Anything it generates goes through the same validator as everything else in the product, which accepts only SELECT, WITH, SHOW, DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN, and the connection to your LMS is read-only besides.
How many questions do we get?
Ten a month on Free, a hundred on Pro, a thousand on Business, two and a half thousand on Scale and unlimited on Enterprise. Clicking Ask AI on a card counts the same as typing a question. Running out warns you; it never stops your data syncing.
Does the AI provider see our learner data?
No. Providers receive schema, never rows and never personal data. In the explain mode they receive the chart's already-aggregated figures. Provider keys, SMTP credentials and database secrets stay on the LearnBoard server and never reach a browser, including inside your LMS.
Can we use our own AI keys?
Yes, on Business and above, with OpenAI or Anthropic. Keys are installation-wide rather than per workspace, because one workspace editing them would change every other customer's behaviour.
Does it work inside your LMS too?
Yes. Every embedded card carries the same Ask AI action and it opens the real assistant in a drawer over the LMS page, under the same per-organisation budget.
Why can a pinned AI answer not refresh itself?
Because the query behind it is deliberately never exposed. A pinned AI result saves a snapshot of the rows it returned. Every other kind of pinned card redraws live.
Which platforms does LearnBoard support?
LearnNoow and Moodle. Connect either one read-only and the same dashboards, charts, alerts and AI answers run on it. Nothing is installed on LearnNoow; Moodle has two free companion plugins.
