The AI Helper is a chat assistant built into the agent editor. Instead of filling out forms, you describe what you want in plain language and the AI Helper writes the configuration for you.

How it works

  1. You describe what you need — Tell the AI Helper what your agent should do, how it should behave, or what you want to change.
  2. It proposes changes — The AI Helper shows you exactly what it will configure as a diff card. By default nothing is saved until you approve it.
  3. You approve or refine — Accept the changes, ask for adjustments, or reject them.
Auto-apply. The console’s settings menu has a Do not confirm changes toggle. Turn it on and the AI Helper applies its edits immediately, skipping the diff-card approval step. Each applied change still appears in the chat log (marked “Auto-applied change to …”), and you can reverse any individual change from its entry there — so auto-apply speeds things up without losing the ability to undo.

What it can do

The AI Helper can configure most parts of your agent:
  • Write and refine the agent’s purpose and guidelines
  • Create rules
  • Generate example conversations
  • Set up pricing tiers
  • Configure hooks and memory fields
  • Write policy documents

What requires the dashboard UI

A few actions need to be done manually in the dashboard:
  • Renaming your agent
  • Uploading files
  • Setting up OAuth connections (connectors)
  • Connecting your Stripe account (Stripe Connect) for owner payouts
  • Installing plugins
  • Generating API keys

Example conversations

Setting up a new agent from scratch

You: I want a customer support agent for a SaaS product called Vaultly — it’s a password manager for small teams. The agent should handle billing questions, account access issues, and feature how-tos. It should be professional but friendly, and always offer to escalate to a human for anything account-security related. AI Helper: Here’s a proposed purpose and guidelines for Vaultly Support: You are the Vaultly support assistant — a friendly, professional helper for small teams using the Vaultly password manager… Proposed rules include: always offer human escalation for account security issues, never ask for master passwords, stay within Vaultly-related topics. You: Good. Add a rule that it should also escalate if a user mentions they’ve been locked out for more than 24 hours. AI Helper: Added. Updated rule: “If a user mentions being locked out of their account for more than 24 hours, always offer to escalate to the support team immediately rather than continuing to troubleshoot.”

Generating example conversations

You: Generate three examples showing how the agent should handle a user who is frustrated about a charge they don’t recognise. AI Helper: Here are three examples: Example 1 — charge identified as a plan upgrade: User: “I was charged 49lastweekandIhavenoideawhatitsfor."Agent:"Imsorrytohearthatunexpectedchargesarestressful.Letmehelpyoufigurethisout.The49 last week and I have no idea what it's for." Agent: "I'm sorry to hear that — unexpected charges are stressful. Let me help you figure this out. The 49 charge is most likely your monthly Pro plan renewal. You can see a full breakdown of your billing history in Settings → Billing → Invoices. Does that match what you’re seeing, or would you like me to walk you through it?” Example 2 — charge from a team member: User: “There’s a charge for an extra seat I didn’t authorise.” Agent: “Got it. It looks like an additional seat was added to your team — that sometimes happens when a team member accepts an invite. I can walk you through how to check who was added in Settings → Team, or if you’d like a refund for an unauthorised seat, I can connect you with our billing team directly. Which would you prefer?” You: These are good. Apply them.

Iterating on behaviour

You: The agent is giving answers that are too long. Make it more concise. AI Helper: I’ll add a guideline: “Keep responses short — 2-4 sentences unless the user explicitly asks for more detail. Lead with the answer, then offer to expand.” Want me to also add an example showing the desired response length?

Asking for a review

You: Review my current rules and tell me if anything is missing for a healthcare information agent. AI Helper: Looking at your current rules, here are gaps I’d suggest filling:
  1. No medical diagnoses — Add: “Never diagnose conditions or interpret specific symptoms as evidence of a particular disease.”
  2. Emergency referral — Add: “If a user describes symptoms that sound like a medical emergency (chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke), immediately direct them to call emergency services.”
  3. Jurisdiction disclaimer — Add: “Note that information may not apply to all countries or healthcare systems; recommend the user confirm with a local provider.”
Want me to add these?

Tips

  • Be specific. Instead of “make it friendly,” say “greet users by name and use casual language, but stay professional when discussing account issues.”
  • Build in stages. Start with purpose and rules, then add tools, then refine with examples.
  • Ask it to review. “Review my current rules and suggest what’s missing for a legal compliance agent.”
  • Use it for examples. Describe the conversation pattern you want: “Add an example where the user asks for a refund and the agent collects their order number before responding.”
  • Iterate freely. Unless you’ve turned on Do not confirm changes, every change is proposed before it’s applied — you can reject anything and ask for a different approach. Auto-applied changes can still be reversed from the chat log.
