Assistants

Overview

The Assistants feature in empowerGPT allows users to design, configure, and deploy customized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks, workflows, and business needs. Each assistant can be fine-tuned with instructions, capabilities, and model selection to ensure it performs optimally for its intended use case. Users can also share assistants with colleagues, enabling team-wide collaboration and consistent task execution.

On the Assistants page, all assistants accessible to the user are displayed in a card layout. Each card includes:

• Assistant Name

• Description

• Creator’s Name

Depending on the user’s role and permissions, additional actions (such as edit, duplicate, or delete) appear when hovering over an assistant card.
