Overview

Ask AI brings the power of artificial intelligence to your workplace, providing instant answers to questions, intelligent insights, and automated assistance. The AI assistant can help with policy questions, process guidance, data analysis, and general workplace inquiries.

Highlights

Ask any workplace question in plain language from web or mobile and get an answer grounded in your company's own knowledge.
Route each question automatically to one of 80+ specialized agents — scheduling, HR, leave, service desk, reporting, safety, and more.
Attach a photo, PDF, or spreadsheet and have the AI read it, or use voice mode to speak your question and hear the answer.
Take action, not just chat — agents look up live data and perform writes only after you explicitly confirm.
Turn a corrected answer into durable "Company Brain" knowledge that every future question can draw on, once an admin approves it.
Escalate to a person — or auto-open a service desk ticket — whenever the AI is not confident it can help.
The assistant comes to you — playbook results and approvals land in your Inbox, and you can reply to any of them to continue the conversation.
Remembers you across sessions and tracks your multi-step goals — onboarding a hire, migrating a policy — so you don't carry the mental load, each private to you with its own review/erase page.

Capabilities

AI Chat & Conversation
  • Chat from a web sidebar, the mobile app, and a browser extension — one conversation synced across all three
  • Multi-turn follow-ups that keep context, including short/ambiguous ones ("two weeks ago", "no", "those")
  • Streaming, token-by-token responses — the answer appears as it's written
  • Rich, interactive answers — inline tables, charts, timelines, report cards, and clickable action buttons
  • @mention a specific agent inline to force routing (e.g. @hr, @scheduling)
  • Multi-lingual greetings and per-language response translation
  • In-app Prompt Library of reusable starter prompts (central + tenant-authored)
  • Searchable conversation history across every past question and answer
Proactivity, Memory & Journeys
  • The assistant prompts you — playbook results and approvals arrive in your Inbox instead of waiting to be asked
  • Reply to a proactive Inbox item and the assistant answers in-thread, grounded in the item
  • Cross-session memory — remembers durable, per-user facts (preferences, what you're working on) across sessions, recalled by meaning
  • Every user reviews and erases their own memory on a private My Memory page
  • Journeys — tracks a multi-step goal (onboarding, a migration) across sessions and guides you step by step, on a private My Journeys page
  • Auto-detect goals — optionally starts tracking a multi-step goal it notices, transparently and one-click dismissible (admin opt-in)
  • Weekly self-improvement — analyzes failed / misrouted / low-rated turns and sends admins concrete fixes
Agent Routing
  • Automatic routing of each question to the best-fit specialist agent
  • Sticky routing keeps a multi-turn session with one agent ("Continuing with: <Agent>")
  • Cross-app handoff — one agent hands the goal to another app's assistant
  • Plugin agent proxies for third-party marketplace extensions
  • Number of built-in domain agents: 80+
Knowledge & Grounding (RAG)
  • Grounds answers across your knowledge base, HR policies, SOPs, wikis, Sites pages, and shared Drive files
  • Admins choose which knowledge sources the AI is allowed to draw on
  • Optional platform help articles included in answers (admin toggle)
  • Semantic, meaning-based retrieval finds the right passage even when the wording differs
  • Every answer shows how it was produced — Computed, Sourced, or Verified badges with citations
  • Company Brain — a user's correction becomes admin-approved verified knowledge; News Feed "verified answers" flow in too
  • Live data pulled from connected apps via agent tools (schedules, leave, tickets)
  • Browser extension grounds answers in the LinkedIn, email, or calendar page you're viewing
Tool Calling & Actions
  • Agents call live, read-only tools for real-time data across apps
  • Write/risky actions require explicit user confirmation, with multi-step clarification before acting
  • See a before/after diff preview of any change before you approve it
  • Human handoff — escalate to a person, or auto-create a service desk ticket when confidence is low
  • Attach files to a question — image (PNG/JPG/WebP/GIF) vision + PDF text extraction (Word, Excel, and CSV files can also be attached)
Voice & Multimodal
  • Voice mode — speak a question, hear a spoken answer
  • Live, hands-free voice conversation you can speak into and interrupt naturally
  • Selectable AI voice, response style (concise/detailed), and speech pace, with in-settings voice preview
Safety, Audit & Admin Control
  • Content moderation with prompt-injection / system-prompt-security checks
  • Business-scoped tenant isolation — data never crosses organizations
  • Admin Agent Guidelines + per-agent instruction overrides
  • Admin toggles to disable action execution, voice, or help-article grounding
  • Admin review queue to approve, edit, or retire verified-knowledge (Company Brain) entries
Limits & Specs
  • Voice daily limit (admin-configurable): 30 minutes per user (0 = unlimited)
  • Voice session limit: 15 minutes per session
  • RAG token budget / context window: 128,000 tokens
  • Attachments per message: Up to 3 files, 8 MB each; PDFs up to 100 pages

Use cases

Policy lookups
An employee asks "What is our PTO policy?" and gets an answer sourced from the tenant knowledge base and published policies, not a generic web answer.
Shift & leave self-service
A frontline worker asks "What shifts do I have this week and how much leave is left?" — Ask AI fans the question out to the scheduling and leave agents and answers both.
Report generation for managers
A manager types "Show headcount by department this quarter" and the reporting agent returns a table/chart inline in the chat.
IT / HR help with escalation
A user describes a problem the AI can't confidently resolve; it offers a human handoff and can auto-open a service desk ticket so nothing gets dropped.
Reading an attached document
Someone drops a PDF pay stub or a photo of a schedule into the composer and asks a question about it — the AI extracts the text or analyzes the image to answer.
Curating Company Brain
When a user corrects an Ask AI answer, an admin reviews it in Verified Knowledge and approves it so the correction becomes trusted context for everyone.
Guided multi-step work
A manager onboarding a new hire lets Ask AI track it as a Journey — "you've done 2 of 4, next set their leave balance" — across days, instead of re-asking each step and remembering what's left.
Proactive results delivered to you
A scheduled playbook drops last week's attendance summary into a supervisor's Inbox; they reply "which store had the most late arrivals?" and the assistant answers in the same thread.

FAQ

Responses are grounded in your organization's knowledge base, admin-verified corrections ("Company Brain"), any files you attach to a message, and live data pulled from connected apps through agent tools. Platform help articles can optionally be included by an admin.

From a chat sidebar in the web app, the mobile app, and a Chrome browser extension. All three route through the same agentic pipeline and share one conversation, so you can start a question on the web and continue it on mobile. In the browser extension, answers can also be grounded in the LinkedIn, email, or calendar page you're currently viewing.

Each question is automatically routed to the best-fit specialist agent out of 80+ built-in domain agents (scheduling, HR, leave, service desk, reporting, safety, and more). Multi-turn sessions stick with the same agent ("Continuing with: "), one agent can hand a goal off to another app's assistant, and you can force routing by @mentioning an agent inline (e.g. @hr, @scheduling).

Specialized agents can both read live data (schedules, leave balances, tickets, reports) and perform actions. Any action that writes or changes data always pauses for your explicit confirmation — with a before/after diff preview — and the AI never writes on its own.

Yes — up to 3 files per message, 8 MB each. Images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF) are analyzed with vision, and PDFs are read via text extraction (up to 100 pages; scanned image-only PDFs may have no extractable text). Word, Excel, and CSV files can be attached but are not currently parsed into text, so the AI won't read their contents.

Yes. Voice mode lets you speak a question and hear a spoken answer, including a live, hands-free OpenAI Realtime conversation you can interrupt naturally, with a selectable AI voice, response style, and speech pace. Voice is metered: sessions are capped at 15 minutes, plus an admin-configurable daily limit (30 minutes per user by default, or unlimited).

Ask AI is the unified conversational assistant that routes each question across every specialist agent and grounds answers in org-wide knowledge. Personal Agent is one of those specialists, hard-scoped to your own bookmarks, drafts, tasks, and inbox. Workforce Bots are standalone document-Q&A bots (HR Policy, SOP, Compliance, etc.) that admins install against specific knowledge bases. You reach the same intelligence through Ask AI's single chat surface.

Conversations are scoped to your business tenant and never shared across organizations, with content moderation and prompt-injection checks on every request. History is per-user — each user has their own searchable conversation, not a shared thread.

When cross-session memory is on (the default), Ask AI keeps a small set of durable facts about you — distilled from your own conversations, like preferences or what you're working on — to personalize future answers. These facts are strictly per-user: managers and admins never see them, and you can review or erase any of them on your private My Memory page. Journeys (multi-step goals it tracks with you) are similarly private and managed on your My Journeys page. Admins who prefer not to record per-user facts can turn memory, Journeys, or auto-detect off under Agent Guidelines → AI Features.

When confidence is low it says so rather than guessing, and can offer a handoff to a person; below a confidence threshold it can automatically create a service desk ticket so the request is tracked to resolution.
