AI Assistant

The AI Assistant (/ai-assistant) is a chat interface inside Nexa where you ask questions in natural language and get answers in a threaded conversation. Use it when you want a conversational way to explore your data and workspace instead of clicking through screens. It keeps a history of past chats so you can return to earlier conversations.

The screen has three parts:

Area Purpose
Chat sidebar (left) New chat, search, and your history of past conversations
Header (top) Your account menu — profile, notifications, and log out
Conversation (center) The message thread and the composer where you type

Each conversation is a separate thread, so you can keep unrelated questions apart and come back to any of them later.

  1. Select New Chat in the sidebar to start a fresh thread.
  2. Use Search Chat to find an earlier conversation by its title.
  3. Select any conversation in the history list to reopen it.
  4. Use the per-conversation menu (the three-dots control on a chat) to Share, Rename, or Delete that thread.
  1. Type your question into the composer at the bottom (the input prompts How can I help you today?).
  2. Select the send control to submit it.
  3. Read the response in the thread; continue the conversation with follow-up messages, which stay in the same thread for context.

The composer also has an add control (the + button) for starting additional input alongside your message.

  • Keep one topic per thread. Because history is organized by conversation, a focused thread is easier to find and reuse later.
  • Rename a thread as soon as it has a clear subject so it is easy to locate from Search Chat.
  • Delete threads you no longer need to keep the history list manageable.
  • Agents — build and deploy AI agents for end users.
  • Business glossary — the shared business terms that ground answers about your data.
  • Platform overview — where the Assistant fits in the wider platform.
