Ask the AI assistant

The assistant is your main agent: the first member of your AI team. It knows the workspace you have open, answers questions and can make changes for you. Your other agents sit beside it in the same window.

Open your AI team

1. Choose Ask AI in the top bar. On a phone, tap the sparkle button at the top of the screen, or open the menu and choose Ask AI.
2. The AI team window opens over the page, with your main agent selected. On a computer you see your agents on the left, the chat in the middle and the agent's Details, Library and Apps on the right. On a phone you see the chat: the back arrow shows your agents.

To talk to another agent, choose it in the list. The arrows button next to the close button opens that agent's own page in Agents.

Ask something

1. Type in the box at the bottom. In an empty chat with your main agent you can also pick a suggestion: it only fills the box, so you can change it before sending.
2. Press Enter to send. Shift and Enter starts a new line.
3. To talk instead of typing, choose the microphone button (Speech to text). It shows only in browsers that support it.

While the agent works on an answer, the chat says so (for example "Assistant is working"), also while it thinks between two steps. You can send another message at any time: it waits under the answer with "Sends when Assistant is done" and goes once the answer is finished. Choose Edit to take it back into the box.

What the assistant looks up shows as small cards in the chat, like your tasks or meetings. When you ask for a stock photo, it shows numbered photos: answer with a number, like "use 2". See What the assistant can do for you.

The line under the box names the workspace your main agent works in. To work on another one, switch workspaces in the menu first. Communities you own or run are the exception: the assistant finds them and edits their settings, page and application questions from any workspace.

Your chats are saved, so they are still there on your other devices and the next time you open the window. Press Escape or the close button to hide it; a reply still being written is kept.

Make it yours

In your main agent's Details you can change its name, give it a New face, tell it how to work with you and add routines. See Add an agent to your team.

To let it post in your Slack, Discord or Telegram channel, open its Apps tab and turn on the switch under Posts to. Every post it writes in the chat waits for your OK, and it never reads the channel. See Choose what an agent may do on its own.

Messages use your AI credits, except questions about how StartupCorners works, which are free. When it runs low, a small label beside your main agent's name shows what is left with a Top up button. See How AI credits work.

The assistant can make mistakes, so check important details before you rely on them.

Report an answer

When an answer is wrong, repeats itself or does something you did not ask, tell us:

1. Choose the flag under the answer (Report this answer).
2. Pick what was wrong: It repeated itself, Not what I asked, Wrong or made up or Something else.
3. Add a note if you like, then choose Send.

Our team reads reports to make the assistant and your agents better. Sending again replaces your report. The Privacy Policy, section 8, says how we check AI answers.
