The Assistant

The Assistant

Ask questions about your plant by typing or by voice, approve what it does, and ask why a scan was refused.

Open the Assistant tile on Home. It needs DataMagik Mobile - Assistant, which every default role except Guard includes, the AI assistant in your company's plan, and an assistant chosen by your Mobile Admin. Until one is chosen it says No assistant is connected. Ask your Mobile Admin to set one.

Asking a question

1. Tap one of the starter questions, or type in Ask a question.
2. Tap send. While it works, it shows what it is doing, for example Querying Plex…. Stop stops it.
3. Answers can include tables, charts and files. Tap a follow-up suggestion to put it in the box, then send it.

The Assistant reads Plex and DataMagik as you, so it sees only what you are allowed to see. If your company has more than one assistant, pick one under Talking to.

Talking instead of typing

1. Tap the microphone, Tap to talk.
2. Speak. Your words appear in the box as you go: Listening… tap the mic to stop. Check the words, then send.
3. Tap the microphone again, or stop speaking. Check the words, change them if needed, and tap send.

Nothing is sent by voice alone, and nothing is read aloud. The Assistant listens in the app's language: English, Spanish or Chinese. The first time, the phone asks to use the microphone and speech recognition. If you said no, allow them in the phone's settings.

When it asks before acting

Before the Assistant runs a query or changes anything, it shows The assistant wants to do this — allow it?, what it will do and exactly what it will send. Choose:

• Allow: this once.
• Allow in this chat: for the rest of this conversation, where offered.
• Always allow: from now on, where offered.
• Deny, with an optional reason under Why not? (optional).

Ask why

When Plex refuses a scan, tap Ask why on the red card or under Needs a fix on My work. The Assistant opens on About the refused action, asks Why was this refused, and what do I do? for you, and explains in plain words what happened and what to do on the floor.

Answers, files and links

• Under each answer: Copy, Helpful or Not helpful, and Ask again.
• Files the Assistant makes (spreadsheets, PDFs, CSVs, images) open in the phone's app for that type, where you can save or share them. File links expire after a while: if one does not open, ask again.
• Links ask before leaving the app: This opens {site} outside the app.

Your conversation

Your conversation is kept on this phone for 24 hours. On a shared handheld, the next person never sees it. Clear forgets it on the phone and in DataMagik. Signing out also clears it from the phone.
