# AI Assistants

> Understand the specialized AI assistants available in Experio

## What Are Assistants?

Assistants are specialized AI agents, each configured for a specific type of task. They differ in their system prompts, knowledge focus, available tools, and response style. Your organization's administrator configures which assistants are available and how they behave.

## Browsing Assistants

Navigate to the **Agents** page from the sidebar to see all available assistants. Each card shows:

* **Icon** — A visual identifier for the assistant
* **Title** — The assistant's name
* **Description** — A brief explanation of what the assistant does

You can **search** assistants by name or description and **sort** them alphabetically.

## Default Assistant Types

Experio includes several built-in assistant types that your administrator may have configured:

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Talk to Your Data" icon="database">
    The primary assistant for exploring your organization's knowledge base. Ask questions about projects, clients, expertise, documents, and more. This assistant searches across all connected data sources and provides answers with source citations.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Knowledge Transition Plan" icon="arrows-turn-right">
    Specialized for organizational transitions and onboarding. Helps teams understand historical context, map expertise, identify best practices, and create knowledge transfer plans.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Organizational Conflict of Interest" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    Focused on conflict of interest analysis. Identifies potential conflicts by analyzing relationships between people, organizations, projects, and contracts in your knowledge graph.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Your administrator may have configured additional assistants specific to your organization's needs. Some assistants may be restricted to staff members only.
</Note>

## Choosing the Right Assistant

Select an assistant based on what you're trying to accomplish:

| Task                                    | Recommended Assistant               |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Search for project details or past work | Talk to Your Data                   |
| Onboard a new team member               | Knowledge Transition Plan           |
| Check for potential conflicts           | Organizational Conflict of Interest |
| General document exploration            | Talk to Your Data                   |

## Starting a Conversation

Click any assistant card to start a new conversation. You'll see the assistant's **welcome message** with guidance on how to use it effectively.

Each conversation is tied to the assistant you selected. To switch assistants, start a new conversation from the Agents page or the Home page.

## Deep Agent Mode

Some assistants use **Deep Agent** mode, which enables multi-step reasoning. When active, you'll see detailed task progress showing the AI's thinking process:

1. **Planning** — The AI determines what steps to take
2. **Searching** — Querying your knowledge base and documents
3. **Analyzing** — Processing and synthesizing information
4. **Responding** — Generating the final answer with citations

This mode provides more thorough answers for complex questions but may take longer to respond.
