:::warning Who can do this?
Before using Atlan AI, your admin user must [enable Atlan AI](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/governance/atlan-ai/what-is-atlan-ai/llms.txt) in your Atlan workspace.
:::

Atlan AI can help you understand [lineage transformations](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/lineage/what-are-processes/llms.txt) using natural language. You can use Atlan AI to create a natural language explanation for assets with SQL attributes and help you better understand the transformation logic.

## Explain lineage transformations

To use Atlan AI to explain lineage transformations:

1. From the left menu of any screen in Atlan, click on **all assets**.

 If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, from the left menu of any screen in Atlan, click **Assets**.
2. Select an asset, and from the top right of the asset card, click the **View lineage** icon to open the lineage graph.
3. On the lineage graph, click any circular [process](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/catalog/lineage/what-are-processes/llms.txt) button to view more details in the sidebar.
4. From _Overview_ in the sidebar, under _Query_, click the **Atlan AI** icon to explain the SQL query.

You can now understand lineage transformations using Atlan AI! 🎉
