Inside a room it reads the room's content and activity, answers questions, drafts and edits content, and proposes changes you review before they land. AI is included in the Core plan — most actions are free, and the ones that generate content use credits from your workspace balance. > ⚠️ Ask AI is available to **members editing a room** (Owner or Editor). It never appears in presentation mode or to buyers. > **AI can make mistakes. Check important info.** Everything the assistant produces is a proposal — read it before you apply or send it. ## Opening the assistant Two ways in: 1. **The Ask AI launcher** — a round button pinned bottom-right of every page, inside rooms and on the dashboard. Click it to open the AI panel. 2. **Ask AI about this** — select any **section** or **block** in the editor. The selection pill shows a gradient AI chip; click it to open the panel with that section or block attached as context. The panel opens as a **right-side drawer** and the room shifts left to make room. Only one drawer is open at a time — opening Ask AI closes the Comments or Notifications drawer, and vice versa. Close it with the **✕** in the panel header. ![Room editor with the Ask AI drawer open on the right and a section selected](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/5/5/4/8/554891f22af0b400/room-ask-ai-drawer_i9ohr7.png) ## What the panel contains ### Conversations list The panel opens on your conversations for this room, with a search box and **quick actions**: - **Summarize this room** — where the deal currently stands - **What needs attention?** — what to look at in this room right now - **Suggest next steps** — how to move the deal forward - **Draft a follow-up** — a message for the people in this room Each quick action starts a new conversation. You can also type anything in the composer at the bottom — *"Ask anything — sends as a new conversation"*. Hover a conversation to delete it. ### A conversation Open a conversation to see the thread. The assistant shows three animated dots while it works. Messages that refer to a section or block carry a **context chip** (for example *Pricing → Text*). Press **Enter** to send and **Shift + Enter** for a new line. When you started from **Ask AI about this**, the section or block stays attached to the thread. Reopening the chip on the same section brings you back to the same conversation with its history. ### Anchored threads Once a section or block has an AI thread, an **anchor pin** appears in its top-right corner when you hover it. The pin shows how many threads exist there; click it to reopen them. ### Applying a generated version When the assistant produces content for a block, the message shows an **Apply to block** button. Click it to push the version into the block; the button turns into **Applied ✓**. Until you apply, nothing changes in the room and buyers see nothing. If you close the panel while a generation is still running, a toast tells you **AI is still generating** and then **Your AI version is ready** — click it to reopen the panel and apply. ## Suggestions Besides answering you, the assistant **proposes changes** on its own: an updated block, a refreshed section, a new section after a call. They appear in the **Suggestions** view of the panel, with a banner *"N suggestions awaiting review"* while some are pending. See [Reviewing AI suggestions](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/reviewing-ai-suggestions-1clh02a/). ## What Ask AI costs - **Chatting, quick actions and reviewing suggestions are free.** - **Generating a room or a template** uses credits, priced by the model quality you pick — see [Generating a room with AI](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/generating-a-room-with-ai-1m7d2kj/). - **The Home page flows** (attention triage, meeting summaries, follow-up drafts) use credits per action — see [Your Home page and AI assistant](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/your-home-page-and-ai-assistant-poa796/). The AI side panel shows how much of this month's allowance is left. See [How credits work](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/how-credits-work-1rardw9/). ## What happened to the AI block? Earlier versions of Katalyz had an **AI block** widget (beta) that generated HTML from a brief. It has been retired: AI is now an **action on your content**, not a kind of content. You point at any block or section and ask the assistant to edit it. Rooms that still contain an AI block keep working — select it and use the AI chip to reopen its thread, then **Apply to block**. ## Related articles - [Generating a room with AI](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/generating-a-room-with-ai-1m7d2kj/) - [Reviewing AI suggestions](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/reviewing-ai-suggestions-1clh02a/) - [Auto-filling room fields from recordings](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/auto-filling-room-fields-from-recordings-149b15o/) - [AI settings](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/ai-settings-3aahfy/) - [How credits work](https://katalyz.crisp.help/en/article/how-credits-work-1rardw9/)
