# AI Assistants

### Overview

AI Assistants in MangoApps can be accessed from various locations, depending on how your Administrator has configured them. These assistants are designed to help with tasks like research, idea generation, and finding internal resources.

### Module Locations

AI Assistants can be accessed from anywhere within MangoApps, as configured by your Administrator.&#x20;

#### **Horizontal NavBar**

The Horizontal NavBar is typically located at the top of your MangoApps interface. Look for the AI Assistant icon or a labeled section, which might be added by your Administrator. Clicking this will open the AI Assistant interface, where you can interact with tools like MangoGPT or other research assistants.

#### **Vertical Navigation**

The Vertical Navigation is found on the left-hand side of your MangoApps dashboard. Scroll through the menu and locate the section for AI Assistants or Research Tools, which may have been added by your Administrator for easy access. Clicking this will take you directly to the AI Assistant tools.

#### **Dashboard Widget**

If your Administrator has added an AI Assistant Widget, it will appear on your Dashboard. This widget provides quick access to AI tools like MangoGPT, allowing you to start a new chat or search session right from the Dashboard without navigating through menus. Click on the widget to begin using the AI Assistant.

### Administrator Configuration

Keep in mind that the visibility and placement of AI Assistant tools are determined by your Administrator. If you cannot find these tools in the mentioned sections, your Administrator may need to configure access for your account.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.mangoapps.com/ai-guide/user-portal/ai-assistants.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
