      🔹 Use your AI assistant

      Type your question into the provided textbox and hit "Enter." Your AI assistant will sift through your Trainual account to source answers for you.


      You can also try a ready-made prompt to get the idea of how it all works.


      🔥 Tip:       Unsure about an answer? 🤔 Verify it with the linked sources to stay confident in your assistant and don't worry — your conversation stays open as you dig deeper.

      Access your AI assistant chat history:

      2. Hit the history icon (the clock) in your AI assistant panel.

      AI assistant best practices:

      Make the most of your AI assistant with these quick pointers. 👇

      Suggestion: Description:
      🎯 Be specific.

      The more context you include, the better the answer.

      Example ↓

      • 👎 Broad: “IT setup.”
      • 👍 Specific: “New hire laptop setup (Mac).”

      Keywords help too, like adding tool names, roles, or locations to your searches (i.e. “Sales Manager" or "HubSpot overview”).
      ↩️ Follow up. Keep chatting until you feel certain you have what you need. The AI assistant keeps up with what has been discussed.
      ♨️ Hot key launch. 

      To open the AI assistant anywhere in Trainual:

      • Mac → Press ⌘ + K
      • PC → Press Ctrl + K

      Enable or disable AI-powered features:

      AI features are on by default, company-wide, but to adjust that account setting...

      1. Expand the "Account" options from the left-hand navigation menu.
      2. Choose "Settings."
      3. Locate and toggle the "Enable AI features" in the "General" tab to on or off.
