Beta

This feature is in active development and may change before final release. Feedback is always appreciated at [email protected].

Your users can get instant answers about your product with Ask AI. The assistant uses your selected model, trained on your documentation, to deliver accurate, context-aware responses. It includes direct links to your docs, allowing users to explore topics in more detail.


End-User Preview

When your users interact with Ask AI, it’ll open the Assistant with your custom example questions and receive responses based on your configurations from the Admin panel. Responses will only reference any public pages. For Enterprise groups with public and private projects, Ask AI will provide info based on the users’ permission to view a project.

Configure

Customize the AI assistant’s tone, answer length, and forbidden to fit your branding. Set example questions for your end-users to see and select an available model that fits your needs.

Enterprise Groups

All configurations mentioned above are available for Enterprise projects in your Group Dashboard. Customizations at the group level will apply across all corresponding child projects.

Analytics

Dig into user questions, responses, and feedback to understand what your users are looking for—and how effectively the assistant is performing. You can view all analytics in the Ask AI dashboard under Settings. To share insights with your team, export the data as a CSV with custom date ranges. The export process may take some time depending on the data volume, but when ready, the download will immediately begin in your browser.


FAQ
