Use Ask AI assistant in the Help Center when someone needs first guidance on a feature, setting, or work situation before moving into a tracked case.

## This matters once the team wants faster first orientation inside the product

- Ask in plain language about features, settings, workflows, and common issues.
- Get a faster first answer without starting from a long documentation search.
- Continue with follow-up questions on the same topic before moving into another support path.
- Move into tickets, phone, or documentation when the case needs tracking, account-specific help, or a person.

## Use AI for orientation, not for every support case

The assistant matters when someone does not yet know which article, setting, or step they need. It shortens the path to a first useful answer and helps choose the next channel.

## Ask in free text, continue the conversation, then choose the right channel

This is not an autonomous AI layer running the business. It is faster first orientation inside the same Help Center the team already uses.

- Open the Help Center and choose Ask AI assistant.
- Ask the question in free text.
- Review the first answer about the feature, setting, or workflow you need.
- Continue with follow-up questions on the same topic if you need more context.
- If the issue is account-specific, needs tracking, or still needs a person, move into tickets, phone, or documentation.

## Where the assistant helps most

The focus is the assistant’s confirmed role in the product: first guidance and quicker orientation inside the Help Center.

- **Features and settings** — The assistant helps people find where a feature or setting lives and what it is for.
- **Workflows and next steps** — When someone is unsure which screen to start from or what to do next, the assistant gives faster orientation.
- **Follow-up questions on the same topic** — After the first answer, the conversation can continue until the team has enough context to move on or escalate.
- **Repeated questions that do not need a ticket** — Common product questions can reach a useful first answer before they become a tracked human case.

## Faster first answers and less blind searching

Teams reach a usable first answer sooner and can decide more easily whether the issue ends there or needs to move into another support channel.

- **A faster first answer** — People do not have to begin every question from zero inside the full documentation set.
- **A clearer next step** — After the first answer, it becomes easier to decide whether the right next move is a ticket, a phone call, or a deeper help article.
- **Less time lost on repeated questions** — Frequent questions about features and settings reach first guidance faster.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the AI assistant a real person?

No. It is a fast first-guidance layer inside the Help Center, not a live human support chat.

### Can it make mistakes?

Yes. Important details should still be checked before action is taken.

### Is it suitable for account-specific problems?

Not always. When the case needs tracking, files, or human follow-up, tickets or another support channel are the better fit.

### Can we continue the conversation with another question?

Yes. It is designed for a first answer and follow-up questions on the same topic inside the Help Center.

### Does it replace documentation?

No. It helps people reach the first useful answer faster, while documentation and tickets still matter for deeper cases.
