# AI assistant

> Ask questions about your workspace and data, let the assistant act inside the app, and track background jobs.

Fail Fast includes an AI assistant that knows your workspace. You can ask it questions about your data, have it help you find and do things in the app, and reach it from anywhere. It comes in two surfaces: the full **Home** page, and a floating **Ask AI** button on every other screen.

<Note>
  AI can make mistakes — verify important information. The app shows this same disclaimer alongside the assistant, and it applies especially to answers you plan to act on.
</Note>

## Home: the full assistant page

Select **Home** in the sidebar to open the assistant as a full page. It greets you with "What can I help with?" — from there you can:

* **Ask about your workspace and your data.** Pose questions in plain language and get answers grounded in what's in your workspace.
* **Keep multiple conversations.** Past chats live under **Previous conversations**; select **Start a new conversation** to begin a fresh one, and rename conversations to keep them organized.
* **Attach files.** Add files to a conversation so the assistant can work with their contents.
* **Use voice mode.** Talk to the assistant instead of typing.

### The assistant can act in the app

Beyond answering, the assistant can take actions inside Fail Fast — for example, navigating you to the right page, or refreshing data after it performs an action on your behalf. That makes it a practical way to get around the app, not just a question-and-answer box. New to the platform? Pair it with the [quickstart](/docs/getting-started/quickstart) to learn your way around.

## Ask AI: the assistant everywhere else

On every other screen, a floating **Ask AI** button opens the same assistant in a side panel. Use it when you're in the middle of something — reviewing records, configuring a page — and want help without leaving where you are.

<Tip>
  The side panel and the **Home** page are the same assistant. Start a question from **Ask AI** while you work, and continue the conversation later from **Home**.
</Tip>

## Agent Tasks: background jobs

Select **Agent Tasks** in the sidebar to open a panel that tracks the background jobs your workspace runs. Its primary use today is monitoring data imports.

For each job you can see:

| Information       | What it tells you                                               |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Progress          | How far along the job is.                                       |
| Processed count   | How many rows or items have been handled so far.                |
| Failed count      | How many rows or items could not be processed.                  |
| Error rows export | Failed rows can be exported, so you can fix them and try again. |

Updates arrive live — you can watch a job advance without refreshing.

<Note>
  **Agent Tasks** is hidden for guests. If you don't see it in the sidebar, your access level in this workspace doesn't include it.

See [Import and export](/docs/data/import-export) for how to start a data import and what happens to rows that fail.
