+understand the capabilities of the platform.

+For local deployments of OpenFn, the instance administrator needs to configure the AI
+Assistant before it is available. See
+[deployment docs](https://github.com/OpenFn/lightning/blob/main/DEPLOYMENT.md#ai-chat)
+here for help or contact the super user of your instance.
+
+The Assistant is available on app.openfn.org, with usage credits subject your
+project's plan. See [openfn.org/pricing](https://www.openfn.org/pricing) or contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 
+for more information on paid plans for usage of OpenFn's cloud-hosted platform.

+
+## About the Assistant
+
+The AI Assistant is built on the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model from
+[Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/) and is trained with OpenFn documentation
+and example job code.
+
+At the moment, the Assistant is only configured to help with job writing. Later
+versions of the assistant may be rolled out to other pages.
+
+All chat sessions are shared between all users of the project. You can start a
+new chat session at any time, or open an old one.
+
+Input data and run-time job logs not sent to the model. But we do include
+your step code so that the Assistant can provide a contextually relevant answer.
+
+## A Note on Responsible AI Usage
+
+The AI assistant is built on emerging Large Language Model (terminology). Like
+other LLMS and chatbots, its capabilities are impressive, but imperfect.
+
+Remember that ultimately, all responses are generated by an algorithm and YOU,
+the human in charge, are responsible for how its output is used. You should
+consider all responses critically and verify the output where possible.
+
+You can read more about our approach to AI in our
+[Responsible AI Policy](https://www.openfn.org/ai).
+
+## How to access the AI Assistant
+
+The AI Assistant is located in the Inspector, in the Input panel to the left of
+the step code. You may need to open the inspector first - to do this, click on a
+step in the workflow and hit the `</>` button.
+
+If there has been a prior chat session on this step, you'll be presented with a
+list of them. Click on one to open up that chat history.
+
+To stat a new session, type a question in the text area at the bottom of the
+Assistant. Click on the `Send` button to send your question. The Assistant will
+return a respond in a few seconds in the chat interface.
+
+You can close a chat session by clicking the `(X)` button on the top right of
+the chat interface, which will take you back to the list of sessions for this
+step.
+
+:::caution Feedback or Questions about the Assistant?  
+
+We welcome your questions or feedback on [community.openfn.org](https://community.openfn.org/), 
+or contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with private queries.
