Assistant Studio

Turn expertise into repeatable output. Build assistants for recurring tasks and share them across your organization.

Assistant Studio lets you create reusable AI assistants with custom instructions, default models, and file attachments. Instead of repeating the same instructions in every conversation, define an assistant once and use it whenever you need consistent, specialized output.


What Are Assistants?

Assistants are AI personas configured with specific instructions, behaviors, and expertise. When you start a chat with an assistant, the instructions you defined shape every response—ensuring consistent quality for recurring tasks.

Common use cases:

  • Research Assistant — Configured to provide thorough, cited research

  • Support Agent — Trained to respond in your company's tone and style

  • Code Reviewer — Set up with your coding standards and review checklist

  • Writing Editor — Customized with your preferred writing style and guidelines

  • Content Creator — Designed to produce specific content formats like blog posts, social media, or documentation


Why Use Assistants?

Assistants help teams scale expertise and maintain quality across recurring workflows.

Benefit

How It Helps

Consistent Output

Organized Workflows

Key Features

Custom Instructions

Write instructions in natural language to define your assistant's role, tone, format, and constraints. Instructions are sent as a system message at the start of every conversation, shaping how the AI responds.

Default Model Selection

Choose a recommended AI model for your assistant based on the task. Users can switch models during a conversation, but the assistant's instructions remain active regardless of which model is used.

File Attachments

Attach reference documents to your assistant. Files provide context and ensure responses stay grounded in your standards, templates, or guidelines.

File attachments: Files can be added after creating an assistant by editing its settings. Learn more in Custom Instructions & File Attachments.

Categories

Organize assistants into categories to help teams find the right expert instantly:

  • Research — Information gathering and analysis

  • Support — Customer or internal support

  • Automation — Automated or repetitive tasks

  • Productivity — General productivity and workflow support

Access Control

Control who can use each assistant with four access levels:

  • Private — Only you can use this assistant

  • Team — Available to members of a specific team

  • Workspace — Available to everyone in your workspace

  • Organization — Available across your entire organization
