Ask Assuric: what it can do

Open Ask Assuric, choose a mode, add files or documents, and pick what it searches.

Quick summary

• Ask Assuric is Assuric’s AI assistant, with 3 modes: Auto, Hazard Log Assistant and Questionnaire Assistant.
• Ask Assuric answers from your workspace unless you choose Web. Open it with Ctrl+J or Ask in the sidebar.
• Ask Assuric is in beta, so check what it tells you: you’re accountable for what you act on or submit.

Open Ask Assuric

Click Ask at the top of the sidebar, or press Ctrl+J. A window opens on the Ask Assuric tab, next to Go to. Type a question or command and click Send, and the conversation opens as a full-page chat.

You can also click the AI bubble (the sparkle button) at the top right of the page to open a floating AI Assistant panel beside your work, with the same modes, Think and source picker.

Choose a mode

The 3 mode buttons sit under the message box; your pick shows as a label on your message.

The Ask Assuric window. 1 the three modes. 2 the + button for files, documents and evidence. 3 Think. 4 the source picker, set to Assuric Docs.

Mode	Use it for
Auto	General questions about your workspace, documents and frameworks
Hazard Log Assistant	Adding hazards, causes and controls to a product’s hazard log, and asking questions about it
Questionnaire Assistant	Security and compliance questionnaires: paste or upload the questions and it drafts cited answers, including the DSPT

Add context and choose what it searches

Under the message box:

• + adds something to work with: Upload file, Add document or Add evidence.
• Think reasons through the question before it answers. It’s off until clicked. Turn it on for harder questions, such as mapping a policy to several frameworks.
• Assuric Docs is the source picker. It starts there, so answers come from your workspace. Switch it to Web to search the web instead, one source at a time.

Chat history

The full-page chat keeps every conversation in Chat History on the left, with New Chat above it. Each is titled automatically; its options let you Rename or Delete it.

Under each reply, Assuric Docs answers list their sources, and Web answers list their links under Web Sources.

Settings

Click the gear at the top of the chat to open Settings → AI Settings:

Setting	What it does
Always show AI chat assistant	Keeps the assistant button on every page, and if you turn it off you can still reach Ask Assuric from the sidebar.
Floating chat size	Sets the floating chat window to Small, Medium or Large, and you can also drag the window to resize it.

Ask Assuric is in beta and AI can make mistakes. You’re accountable for whatever you act on or submit, so check answers against the source, especially anything going to a regulator or customer.
