In BoltAI, an AI Assistant includes a set of configuration that help you with specific tasks: Software Developer, Technical Writer, Marketing Expert...

I'm working to migrate toward the official Assistants API from OpenAI.

How to create an AI Assistant?

Creating a new AI Assistant is simple. Go to Settings > AI Assistant, click on the "+" button.

Fill the form:

  1. Give your Assistant a friendly name. For example: "Life Coach"

  2. Set the System Instruction for the Assistant.

  3. (Optional) Set a custom ID for the Assistant. Note that this will change the Trigger Phrase for this Assistant. For the example below, you will need to type //ask_life_coach.

  4. (Optional) Set other advanced configurations such as AI Service & Model (only applicable for inline usage), Temperature or Output Language

  5. Click Save

How to use an AI Assistant?

You can select the assistant when starting a new chat (1). Clicking on the info button to view the detail information, and optionally set it as the default assistant (2)

You can change the AI Assistant mid-conversation with the Statusbar. You can toggle the Statusbar in the "View" menu item, or with the keyboard shortcut Command+/

For inline usage, follow this guide
