In the Crashlytics dashboard, you can get AI-generated insights about your issues to help speed up the time it takes for you to understand why an issue happened and how you can address it. AI assistance in Crashlytics identifies root causes, delivers actionable insights and tailored solutions, and recommends best practices going forward.
Available insights
AI assistance in Crashlytics can provide you with the following insights:
- Summary/Cause: A concise but information-rich explanation of what happened to the user and what caused the issue.
- Debugging options: Gemini will offer a few potential ways to either reproduce the error or will provide next steps to further debug the issue to identify a root cause. Gemini can provide recommended commands to try or code to use (with caution).
- Actionable next steps: While Gemini won't initially have all of the context about your issue, AI assistance in Crashlytics will use Firebase's wealth of knowledge on mobile app development to recommend a few potential resolution paths whenever possible.
- Best Practices: Part of the triage process is, ideally, future-proofing your app so these types of issues don't recur. Gemini references thousands of pages of Firebase documentation (and more) to provide you with possible approaches to resolve the issue.

Generate insights
To use AI assistance in Crashlytics to generate insights about your crashes:
In the Firebase console, go to the DevOps & Engagement > Crashlytics dashboard, and then select your app.
Locate and select a crash you want to investigate. The Crashlytics event page appears, including insights with one or more of the following:
- an analysis of the crash with a possible cause
- debugging instructions
- actionable next steps
- best practices
If you don't see the AI assistance in Crashlytics feature at the top of the event page, verify that Gemini in Firebase has been enabled (for setup instructions, see Set up Gemini in Firebase). Also, make sure that you're viewing a crash or ANR event. Non-fatal events are not yet supported.
If you'd like to use AI assistance to fix the issue directly in your app's codebase, consider using AI assistance for Crashlytics via MCP.
