# What the AI assistant can do and how to ask it

Source: https://archiboard.design/help/how-to/ai-assistant

The ArchiBoard AI assistant helps you quickly find information about your projects or create a task using plain language. It saves time and makes project management easier.

1. **Open the AI assistant.** Click «Open the AI assistant» inside a project to ask about that project, or on the home page to have the assistant search «All projects».
2. **Ask a question or create a task.** Type your request in the text field, or click «Dictate by voice» to say it. The assistant understands plain language and typos.
3. **Example requests.** You can ask: “What do I need to order this week for the Waterfront project?”, “How much does the bedroom lighting cost?” or “Create a task for Anna to approve the sofa by Friday”.

- The assistant answers using the data from your projects.
- It understands typos and product names in other languages.
- A task counts as created only once it has actually been saved.
- «Clear context» starts a new conversation with the assistant.
- The paperclip in the input field (inside a project) opens the «Receipts & quotes» window with the selected files; the assistant itself doesn't match files to items.
- To upload a whole folder or a Google Drive link, use «Estimates» → «Receipts & quotes».
