# Sidekick

Sidekick is a **AI-powered sidebar built directly into the Editor**, designed to streamline and speed up the designing process in Conducttr.

| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| No longer necessary to switch tools (Editor vs AXS)                     | A permanent home for multiplicity of AI assistants straight from the Editor |
| Less need to manually create injects one-by-one                         | Write directly into the MEL with LISA                                       |
| Designers can move from raw ideas to working exercises faster than ever | Generate exercise ideas/injects/personas out of natural conversation        |

### What does Sidekick look like?

Sidekick is a **purple sidebar** on the left-hand side of the Editor with the "magic icon" (sparkles) at the bottom:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/iSn3S6lfCRNNWmNU2rwF" alt="" width="369"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

## Assistants

Assistants are AI helpers that make building and expanding exercises **as simple as having a conversation**. The assistants you see in Sidekick build on the ones available in AXS, now integrated into the Editor to streamline workflows and reduce tool-switching.

The result is a faster, more creative way to:

* Turn an idea into an exercise
* Keep adding to it as the conversation evolves
* Reduce the manual work of building large exercises

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only LISA writes directly into the MEL. Other assistants output .csv files for import.
{% endhint %}

### :zap:Sidekick sessions

Assistants remember requests only within the current exercises (until the **sessions expires after 60 days**, after which, the session cannot be recovered). To start a new interaction with an assistant, a new exercise must be created. Assistant sessions are not copied when an exercise is duplicated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdocs.conducttr.com/feature-documentation/planning/ai-assistants/sidekick.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
