How Gale Works 

Gale is a conversational assistant that uses real-time weather data and, when configured, account-specific context to tailor responses and recommendations.

Core Capabilities

• Generate reports based on locations or views 
• Create monitors from existing insights and saved locations 
• Log operational decisions based on insights or summaries 
• Answer timeline-based weather questions (e.g., next 12 hours) 
• Summarize impacted locations using configured views 
• Provide severe weather information (U.S. only)
• Provide industry-specific, context-aware responses based on your organization’s vertical (see dedicated section for more information)
• Search and summarize relevant Help Center content

Industry-Specific Agents

Gale supports industry-specific agents, tailoring responses and workflows to your organization’s vertical.

• Align insights and actions with industry-specific use cases
• Adapt responses based on operational context and priorities
• Include industry-relevant prompts and capabilities

Advanced Capabilities

For advanced features such as map analysis and specialized data queries, see Advanced Capabilities in Gale.

Getting Started: Setting Up Account Context

Admins can add organization-specific context to guide Gale’s responses and recommendations.

While Industry Agents define the overall vertical experience, Account Context allows you to customize Gale with your organization’s specific operations, preferences, and priorities.

Examples include:

• Operating procedures
• Industry focus
• Operational history
• Language preferences and priorities

This information is used to tailor responses, summaries, and suggested actions, and may be referenced where relevant.

For detailed setup instructions and examples by industry, see Configuring Gale Account Context (Admin Guide).

Note: Only available to admins on Gale-enabled accounts.

Note: File uploads are not supported. For complex cases, contact support@tomorrow.io.

Onboarding Flow

Gale includes a guided onboarding flow for users without configured monitors.

Once complete, Gale returns to standard assistant mode.

Available Actions

Report creation is available to users with access to the Reports package.

Gale supports several operational actions triggered through conversation:

• Create a Weather Report

Example Queries

Predefined Queries (Example Questions)
