How can we connect an quicksight dataset to chat agent? Spaces does not allow connecting to a dataset. Basically trying to ask questions on a large dataset to fetch numbers. The reason why I want to ask questions directly is - the dashboard do not support questions at a granular level as visuals have 500,000 records limit. ---

Hegdg, If i am not mistaken, You cannot directly connect a **dataset** to a chat agent through Spaces, as you’ve discovered. Potential Solution could be to use Q Topics Instead of connecting your chat agent to a dashboard, **create a Q Topic** built on top of your underlying dataset: 1. Go to **QuickSight → Topics → Create topic** 2. Select the same dataset that powers your dashboard 3. Configure the fields and make them natural-language-friendly 4. Add this Q topic to your chat agent’s knowledge base (or Space) instead of the dashboard Important - Q Topics still have a **row limit when returning results** (around 20 rows in some cases I think). Hope this helps a bit Cheers, Deep ---

Thanks, Deep. In my QS account I see ‘Topics’ are deprecated. It say ‘can not create any new topics in this account’. ---

Hello Hedgd, I am not sure why you have topic disabled. Are you an Admin of the account ? if not check with Quick Sight Admin as there might and custom permission restriction applied as shown below ![image](https://d1wl4jav5dp96l.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/5/85ece7ba414a062dcdfbc1bd8986a376591def30.png) Hope this helps.

Hi @hegdg, In addition to @Deep’s suggestion to check the custom permissions, please also note that creating Topics is only available to Author/Admin **Pro** users so I also suggest verifying you have the required user type.
