Quick summary
  • Auto is the default mode of Ask Assuric. Ask a question and it answers from your documents.
  • Set the source below the message box to Web to search outside Assuric, and check answers against the official source.
  • Think reasons before it replies, for harder questions, and is off until you click it.
Use Auto for an answer rather than an action, such as what a policy says.

Ask about your documents

1

Open Ask Assuric

Press Ctrl+J, or click Ask at the top of the sidebar. Auto is already selected.
2

Ask your question

Leave the source on Assuric Docs, the default. For example:
What does our Information Security Policy say about how often it is reviewed, and which version is currently approved?
Click Send.
3

Read the answer and its sources

The answer names the approved version and its approval date, and lists the document it used under Sources. Click the document to open it beside the chat, with the cited passages highlighted and a list of citations to jump between.
An Auto mode answer about the review frequency and approved version of the Information Security Policy, with the source listed

An answer drawn from the Information Security Policy. The source is listed below the reply.

To change your hazard log or work through a questionnaire, choose the Hazard Log Assistant or Questionnaire Assistant mode instead.

Search the web instead

Choose Web in the source picker under the message box. It replaces Assuric Docs, because you choose one source at a time.
A web answer about the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit with five web sources listed below it

With the source set to Web, the reply lists the pages it drew on under Web Sources.

Web answers come from pages outside Assuric, so check them against the official source. For a regulator’s requirements, that’s the regulator’s own page.

Think, and adding context

  • Think reasons through the question before it replies. It’s off until you click it, then turns violet. Use it for harder questions, such as mapping one policy to several frameworks.
  • + adds something to work with: Upload file, Add document or Add evidence.

Chat history

Every conversation is saved in Chat History on the left of the chat. Open one to go back to it, or click New Chat. Each chat is titled for you; its options let you Rename or Delete it.

Settings

Click the gear at the top of the chat to open Settings → AI Settings, where you turn the assistant button on or off and set the floating chat’s size.
The AI Settings page with Always show AI chat assistant and Floating chat size

AI Settings. Choose whether the assistant button shows on every page, and how large the floating chat is.

AI can make mistakes. Check answers against the source before you use them.
