Ask AI is a Beta, read-only assistant available on authenticated Dashboard pages. It uses the current documentation and your Dashboard location to answer questions without changing your data or settings.

## Ask a question [#ask-question]

1. Click **Ask AI** in the Dashboard header next to search.
2. Choose a suggested question or enter your own.
3. Open cited documentation links to verify details or follow a suggested Dashboard link.

Ask AI can explain General Translation, search the docs, list Projects in the current Organization, and help you find Dashboard pages. It cannot edit settings, create resources, or run automations.

## Use page context [#page-context]

Suggested questions change based on the page you are viewing. Ask AI also uses the current workspace and setup progress to make its answers more relevant.

On desktop, the page remains available beside the assistant while you chat. On mobile, the assistant fills the screen and closes when you follow a suggested Dashboard link.

## Revisit chats [#recent-chats]

Click the **Recent chats** history icon in the panel header to open a saved conversation. Use the **New chat** icon when you want to start a separate conversation.

Chats are scoped to your user account and current workspace. Switching Organizations starts a separate workspace conversation.

## Usage and billing [#usage-billing]

Ask AI is available on every plan and is charged in Locadex Compute Units (LCUs).

Your workspace credit balance is the usage ceiling; Ask AI has no separate daily message or spending limit. Short per-minute limits prevent bursts. If a request is blocked, the panel explains whether to wait briefly, add credits, or review billing.

AI responses may be inaccurate. Confirm important instructions against the cited documentation before making changes.
