The AI companion executes setup steps on your behalf and asks for your confirmation before any change takes effect. - **Skill activation and deactivation** Activate or deactivate generative AI skills through conversation. The panel presents skill details and current state before requesting confirmation. - **Instance and product details** Query configuration details about your instance including translation status, language configurations, data sharing settings, model providers, model versions, and integrations. - **Create and manage intents** Create intent records and generate the name, description, example utterances, detection criteria, and resolution criteria for them. Use the conversation to find, update, activate, deactivate, or delete existing intents. - **AI-assisted help** Ask questions about AI features, concepts, and admin tasks. The panel sources product documentation and training resources and returns answers with references and links to the source material. After you enter your request in the chat, your AI companion generates a plan to implement your AI solution using the available AI assets. You can review the details of the solution, test it, and activate it, all in the conversation. ## Self-service conversational troubleshooting Depending on your chat request, the self-service conversational troubleshooting AI agents may be engaged to diagnose common AI administration issues.
