This means that you don't have to juggle between our platform and separate applications to leverage advanced AI writing capabilities. It's like having a clever co-worker at your disposal, eager to help you elevate your writing efficiency and quality. This seamless integration ensures that your website has compelling content and conveys your message distinctly to your audience, all the while keeping your workflow streamlined and efficient. To get started, we need to install AI Assistant through Marketplace. To do this, make sure that you're at the Organization level within Content Stack. If you're not sure, just click the Content Stack icon in the top left. Then, you'll notice there's a Marketplace icon. Once you click it, the Marketplace will load and you'll notice there's a Collections section here. You can choose Apps. Once you select Apps, you'll notice on the right-hand side, various applications load in a variety of tiles. AI Assistant should appear in the top row, but if it doesn't, feel free to perform a search within the Search text field. When you hover over the Assistant, you'll notice you get an Install button. Go ahead and click it to start the installation process. The first thing that you have to do is you have to select the stack in which you want to install AI Assistant. In this case, I want to choose my Compass Travel stack. I'll go ahead and accept the terms and conditions, and then I'll click Install. Once you click Install, the Configuration screen will load. You have two options for the platform configuration. You can choose Managed by Content Stack, or you can select to use your own credentials to use with your own provider. If you do select custom credentials, you'll need to provide information like your API key, what provider you're using, and in this case, the API model. For this example, we're going to choose Managed by Content Stack. A quick sidebar. When using the Content Stack-powered API key, it's important to know that we maintain strict privacy standards that follow GDPR guidelines, so you can use AI Assistant with peace of mind. Now, let's go ahead and click Save and proceed. This will bring us to the Advanced Configuration section. For our purposes at the moment, we don't need to configure anything else further, so we'll just click Next. When you do that, you should get confirmation that the configuration was successful. Now, all we have to do is move down to the bottom right and click the Save button. Now, the configuration has been updated and AI Assistant has been installed to your stack. #### Subtitles (WebVTT) ```webvtt WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.160 AI Assistant can simplify and improve the creation of your content by integrating popular 2 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.240 large language models directly within the Content Stack platform. 3 00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:27.520 This means that you don't have to juggle between our platform and separate applications to 4 00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:31.200 leverage advanced AI writing capabilities. 5 00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:36.460 It's like having a clever co-worker at your disposal, eager to help you elevate your writing 6 00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.260 efficiency and quality. 7 00:00:39.260 --> 00:00:45.920 This seamless integration ensures that your website has compelling content and conveys 8 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.800 your message distinctly to your audience, all the while keeping your workflow streamlined 9 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.100 and efficient. 10 00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:59.260 To get started, we need to install AI Assistant through Marketplace. 11 00:00:59.260 --> 00:01:05.740 To do this, make sure that you're at the Organization level within Content Stack. 12 00:01:05.740 --> 00:01:11.220 If you're not sure, just click the Content Stack icon in the top left. 13 00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:15.420 Then, you'll notice there's a Marketplace icon. 14 00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:20.980 Once you click it, the Marketplace will load and you'll notice there's a Collections section 15 00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:22.800 here. 16 00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.120 You can choose Apps. 17 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.760 Once you select Apps, you'll notice on the right-hand side, various applications load 18 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.120 in a variety of tiles. 19 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:39.560 AI Assistant should appear in the top row, but if it doesn't, feel free to perform a 20 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.840 search within the Search text field. 21 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.320 When you hover over the Assistant, you'll notice you get an Install button. 22 00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:51.040 Go ahead and click it to start the installation process. 23 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.360 The first thing that you have to do is you have to select the stack in which you want 24 00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.320 to install AI Assistant. 25 00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:02.400 In this case, I want to choose my Compass Travel stack. 26 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.640 I'll go ahead and accept the terms and conditions, and then I'll click Install. 27 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.600 Once you click Install, the Configuration screen will load. 28 00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:14.680 You have two options for the platform configuration. 29 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:20.680 You can choose Managed by Content Stack, or you can select to use your own credentials 30 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.680 to use with your own provider. 31 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.400 If you do select custom credentials, you'll need to provide information like your API 32 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.800 key, what provider you're using, and in this case, the API model. 33 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.280 For this example, we're going to choose Managed by Content Stack. 34 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.880 A quick sidebar. 35 00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:47.760 When using the Content Stack-powered API key, it's important to know that we maintain strict 36 00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:56.400 privacy standards that follow GDPR guidelines, so you can use AI Assistant with peace of mind. 37 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.600 Now, let's go ahead and click Save and proceed. 38 00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:04.920 This will bring us to the Advanced Configuration section. 39 00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:09.600 For our purposes at the moment, we don't need to configure anything else further, so we'll 40 00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:11.640 just click Next. 41 00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:16.360 When you do that, you should get confirmation that the configuration was successful. 42 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.800 Now, all we have to do is move down to the bottom right and click the Save button. 43 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:28.160 Now, the configuration has been updated and AI Assistant has been installed to your stack. ``` ```transcript [00:00] AI Assistant can simplify and improve the creation of your content by integrating popular [00:17] large language models directly within the Content Stack platform.
