From changing data to channels people can follow.
Explore a channel to understand what is happening, or create one to publish updates from your own data. Zmist connects signals, charts, sources and reports in one place.
Discover. Understand. Follow.
Explore
Browse real public channels and pick a topic that matters to you.
Understand
Read the changes, signals, charts, sources and the history of dated reports.
Follow
Follow a public channel, share a link to it, or press Create similar to start your own version.
Ask Coming soon
Asking the AI about a public channel straight from its page is coming soon.
Connect. Create. Publish.
Start
Begin with a blank channel, or press Create similar on a public channel to copy its structure.
Connect
Bring data in by webhook, the Zmist agent, a CSV, JSON or Prometheus file, or a page Zmist checks on a schedule, then map values, timestamps and labels.
Publish
Review the channel, choose whether it is public or private, write a report and let others follow it.
Under the hood, in five steps.
Sources → Signals → Channels → Reports → Share & follow.
01
Sources
Start where your data already is: a webhook, the Zmist agent on a server, a CSV or JSON file, a Prometheus feed, or a page Zmist checks on a schedule. Nothing to rebuild first.
02
Signals
Everything that comes in becomes a signal — a timestamped value or event with a type, labels and where it came from. Mappings and signal templates teach Zmist what each field means.
03
Channels and charts
Signals land in a channel, a live timeline with charts that update as data arrives. A channel can stay private or be published for anyone to open.
04
Reports
Zmist writes a readable report of what changed, with the evidence next to it and a stated confidence. Reports are dated, so you can look back at what was said and when.
05
Share and follow
Share a link, or let people follow a public channel. Anyone can open a public channel and press Create similar to start from a working setup.
06
Ask the AI
In a channel's Reports tab, write a report or ask the AI a question about your data, including across several channels. You choose the AI provider and can use your own key. Asking about someone else's public channel, straight from its page, is coming soon.
Bring data from where it already lives.
Webhooks
Send events from your tools to a Zmist address and map the fields once.
Zmist agent
A small agent on your server reports host metrics and watches files.
Files and feeds
CSV, JSON and Prometheus data can be imported and mapped to signals.
Web pages
Zmist can check a page on a schedule and turn the numbers on it into signals.
A channel is something people can follow.
See real ones first. Every public channel has a Create similar button, so you can start from a working example instead of a blank page.
Honest answers.
Can the AI be wrong?
Yes. Reports are written by AI from the signals in a channel, and they can be incomplete or mistaken. That is why each one shows its evidence and a confidence level, and why you can read the underlying signals yourself.
Is my channel public?
Only if you choose. Channels are private by default. A public channel can be opened and followed by anyone; before you publish, check what viewers will see.
What does Create similar copy?
The structure of a channel — not its owner, credentials, members or private data. The copy starts private and belongs to you.
Do I need to pay to read public channels?
No. Reading public channels is free. See the pricing page for what creating and automating costs.
What sources can I connect?
Webhooks, the Zmist agent, CSV, JSON and Prometheus files, and web pages Zmist checks on a schedule. Anything not listed here is not available yet.
How often do channels update?
It depends on the source and how often it sends or is checked. Every public channel shows when it was last updated, and a channel that has stopped updating is marked as stale rather than live.
Can I ask the AI about my data?
Yes. Open a channel, go to Reports, and write a question in the box at the bottom. Answers can be wrong, so check them against the signals. Asking about public channels you do not own is coming soon.
