What Recon is
Recon is presented across the Portal26 website under the heading "Talk to Your AI Data With Recon by Portal26". It adds natural language questioning to the Portal26 platform, so any plain language question about enterprise AI usage can be asked directly of the data. Portal26 describes the result as immediate, actionable answers rather than reports that take weeks to assemble.
