9. Configure AI Assist and Agent behavior

Prev Next

AI Assist (chat)

Setting Default Effect
AI Assist Off Makes AI Assist available in support sessions when entitled
Images and Screenshots On Allows the supported image attachment and capture workflows; the AI Assist feature itself still needs to be enabled
AI Assist Activity in Session Logs Off Writes AI Assist activity into session event logs for tracking/auditing; this is separate from explainability artifact creation
Incident and Case Data On where the integration exposes it Supplies supported CRM incident/case title, description, notes, and history to improve context; the visible setting is integration-dependent

Case context is acquired once for an AI conversation. Changes to the CRM record after that acquisition are not a continuous live feed. Ask and Agent share the acquired context. Starting a new conversation resets the working context; it does not remove the external case record or change saved retention policy.

Agent Config

Setting Default Effect
Enable AI Agent Off Exposes Agent capability for entitled, compatible sessions; connection and Remote Control are still required
Behavior Prompt Empty Adds organization instructions in Ask and Agent, such as terminology, response style, and escalation procedures
Tool Execution Read-only auto; other levels require review Defines approval behavior by declared risk level; see section 10
Allow AI-generated scripts Off Lets technicians choose generation for a session and use eligible code-block Execute actions
Allow running AI-generated scripts without approval Off Allows technicians to select the session's auto-run mode; it does not select that mode for them
Explainability JSON Logs On Creates structured explainability artifacts for the session
Explainability HTML Logs On Creates a self-viewable HTML explainability artifact

Use the Behavior Prompt for stable operating guidance. For example:

Explain findings to a first-line support engineer. Start with available read-only checks. State what evidence supports each conclusion. If a change could interrupt the user, explain its impact before proposing it.

Behavior instructions guide the model's choices and wording. They do not enable a disabled tool, waive consent, create administrator access, or override deterministic installation policy. A reusable troubleshooting procedure belongs in a skill; a runnable organization script belongs in a custom tool.

Model provider

Where available, AI Model Provider offers OpenAI (direct) and OpenAI (Bedrock). Only ScreenMeet administrators can change this setting. It changes the route for AI Assist/Agent model requests and related retrieval embeddings; the application chooses the models used for particular tasks.

Agent configuration and risk policy

Bedrock-routed Harness requests do not fall back to the direct OpenAI API if Bedrock fails. A provider error should be investigated as an error, rather than assumed to have switched providers. Global inference routing and hosted web search can use different Bedrock routes; this selector is not a promise that all processing stays in one AWS Region.

AI Summary has its own provider/model behavior. Changing this selector does not change AI Summary, whose inputs can include the session's AI Assist messages. Use your deployment's data-processing and retention documentation for contractual statements; this UI selector alone does not establish a retention guarantee.

Some integrations can use an end-user audience rather than a technician audience. That changes how the agent addresses the requester. It does not change tool availability, privilege, or approval rules, and is an integration setting rather than a control shown in these configuration screenshots.
