Enterprise AI

Custom assistant

An AI assistant configured for a particular user's or organization's purpose.

Example

A team configures an assistant with approved reference material and response preferences.

Why people use it

It gives a team an assistant shaped around its recurring work.

What you'll hear

“This assistant uses our approved reference material.”

What this means for you

Check which parts are configured and which remain properties of the base AI system.

Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Does customization necessarily adapt through training the AI system?
No. It may only add instructions, tools or finding information sources.
Can two custom assistants use the same basic AI?
Yes. Different instructions, documents or connected features can create different experiences.
Can an old reference document keep affecting answers?
Yes. The assistant may continue using it until the supplied material is updated or removed.
