Assistants

What are Assistants?
Assistants are specialized AI "helpers" within Alice. They are designed to focus on specific tasks or areas of knowledge, allowing for more tailored and efficient interactions. Think of them as your personal team of experts!
Key Benefits of Assistants:

  • Specialization: Assistants can have in-depth knowledge about a particular topic (like marketing, coding, or law), providing more focused and accurate responses.
  • Customization: You can tailor assistants to your specific needs and preferences with detailed instructions and settings.
  • Organization: Assistants help maintain structure within Alice, keeping your conversations and prompts for different projects separate.
    Creating an Assistant
  1. Navigate to Assistants: In the Alice app, locate the "Assistants" section.
  2. New Assistant: Click on "Create Assistant".
  3. Name and Purpose:
    • Naming: Give your assistant a clear name that represents its area of expertise (e.g., "Marketing Guru," "Legal Assistant").
    • Description: Briefly outline your assistant's intended tasks and focus.
      Configuring Your Assistant
  4. Master Instruction: This is the core set of guidelines your assistant will always follow. Think of it as their foundational knowledge. Provide detailed information on:
    • Area of Expertise: Clearly define the assistant's specialty and scope.
    • Tone of Voice: Formal, friendly, humorous – let the assistant reflect your preferences.
    • Company/Project Details: Include any relevant information to help the assistant provide context-aware answers.
  5. Snippets: Create specific prompts or templates that your assistant can use for common tasks. These snippets are only accessible to the designated assistant.
    Using Your Assistant
  6. Switching Assistants: Select your desired assistant from the dropdown menu in the Alice interface.
  7. Conversations: Your questions and interactions will now be directed to your chosen assistant, utilizing its specialized knowledge base.
    Example Use Cases
  • Marketing Assistant: Help brainstorming campaign ideas, writing persuasive copy, or analyzing market trends.
  • Coding Assistant: Assist with debugging, generating code snippets, or explaining complex programming concepts.
