Delphi is a chat-first command center for people who run complex operations. Instead of stitching together BI tools, spreadsheets, and dashboards, you describe what you’re trying to understand and Delphi composes the visualizations, metrics, and data connections for you. In the next ten minutes you’ll go from a fresh sign-in to asking a question in plain English and getting an answer grounded in your own data.
Sign in
Every Delphi tenant is keyed off its own subdomain — there is no shared sign-in page. Your organization has a URL that looks like https://<your-tenant>.outcome.com, and that’s where you need to start. Delphi resolves your tenant from the hostname, so the sign-in page you land on is already scoped to the right organization and everything you do is isolated from every other customer.
If you don’t know your tenant subdomain, ask whoever invited you or your IT administrator. Once you’ve signed in, bookmark the URL. Typing the wrong subdomain (or landing on a generic outcome.com) won’t route you to your data — Delphi has no single “global” sign-in that figures out which tenant you belong to.
If you were invited by a teammate, clicking the invite link will sign you in on the correct subdomain and drop you directly onto the command center they shared with you. You can skip ahead to the “Ask your first question” section in that case. Otherwise, you’ll start by creating your first command center.
Create your first command center
There are two ways to create one, and you can pick whichever you prefer. The primary path is a chat-driven interview: choose to create a new command center and Delphi’s Onboarding Assistant walks you through a structured conversation about your problem, your domain, the entities you care about, and the systems of record you want connected. Answer in your own words — the assistant builds a tailored command center while you talk and saves your draft in the browser so you can resume if you step away.
The faster alternative is the domain pack picker. If you’d rather start from a curated template, choose a domain (Financial Planning & Analysis, Agricultural Operations, Water Resources & Environmental Monitoring, or National Governance & Sovereign Intelligence), preview what’s included, name your command center, and click “Generate my command center.” Each pack ships with industry-standard KPIs, suggested visualizations, and recommended data sources, so you’ll have a working dashboard in under a minute.
For a deeper walkthrough of both paths, see Create your first dashboard.
Either way, you’ll land on the metrics page of a brand new command center: KPI cards across the top, a chart grid below them, and a chat panel on the right. From here, every change you make happens through chat — there’s no separate edit mode to learn.
Ask your first question
The chat panel on the right is where most of the work happens. Delphi is the agent behind the panel, and it has access to your dashboard’s data, tools for querying live connectors, and the ability to pull from documents you’ve uploaded. Click the chat icon if it isn’t already open and type a question.
Start with something concrete about the dashboard you just created. For a financial command center you might ask:
What’s driving the change in gross margin over the last quarter?
Delphi will pick the right tools, query the data it has, and answer in the chat with references to the KPIs and datasets it consulted. If you haven’t connected any live sources yet, it will tell you exactly what data it needs and offer to help you wire it up. Ask follow-ups the same way you would with a colleague — the agent keeps context across the conversation.
Next steps
From here, the most useful things you can do are connect real data sources from the Data tab, invite teammates from the Permissions tab, and keep talking to Delphi. The chat is the primary interface for almost every feature — querying, creating alerts, generating reports, proposing actions — so the more comfortable you get with it, the more leverage you’ll have.
