Frequently asked questions about Assist

Can Assist summarize files, images, or videos in a Card?
No. Assist only summarizes the text content of a Guru Card.

Can I choose specific text to summarize or modify?
Yes. Highlight the text (up to 3,000 words) before clicking Assist.

Why didn’t my custom prompt apply to all content?
If no text is selected before submitting a prompt, the Card's content may not be used. Highlight text to ensure the prompt applies.

How do I save a custom prompt?
Only workspace admins can save custom prompts for Group use in the Assist menu.

Can I control who uses Assist?
Yes. Guru admins manage Assist settings under Settings > Assist.

• Assist for Authors: Available to Collection owners and Authors.
• Assist for Readers: Available to all users when enabled.

Why did Assist generate unexpected content?
If the prompt is vague or lacks semantic meaning, Assist may produce hallucinated output. Always verify generated content before publishing.

Can I limit which Assist actions are shown to Card readers?
Yes. Workspace admins can manage available actions under Manage > Workspace Preferences > Assist.
