AI Chat enables users to interact with an AI-powered conversational interface to quickly find information and get answers to their questions. It integrates with company-specific knowledge sources to provide accurate and relevant responses in natural language.
With the AI Chat you can deliver a seamless unified chat experience, or isolate support scenarios with independent chat bots. The unified chat experience presents you with the best chat bot to answer your questions and guides you to the best next action, all in the same flow.

AI Chat brings together multiple AI assistants into a single, smart conversation experience. It doesn't just respond—it understands what you're asking, pulls the right information, and suggests the best next step, no matter which chat bot it comes from.
How it behaves
Interaction Type |
What Happens in the Chat |
---|---|
Text to Text |
You type a question or message, and get responses powered by AI chat bots. These responses are based on a mix of internal and external knowledge sources. |
Text to Actions |
You write a request, and AI Chat suggests direct actions—like launching a WalkMe flow, triggering an ActionBot, or opening a tool—right in the conversation. |
Actions to Text |
You launch a chat (for example, via a WalkMe Launcher), and the chat opens pre-filled with helpful content or context to guide your next step. |
You can choose how you want to interact with the chat. By default, the chat opens in the AI Chat (unified chat experience), which combines all available AI chat bots into one smart conversation. But if you prefer, you can switch to an independent chat bot at any time.
How to switch:
At the top of the chat, click the AI Chat dropdown
Select the which Chat Bot interface you want to chat with directly
What happens when you switch:
AI Chat (default): gives you responses and suggestions from all connected assistants in one place. It automatically chooses the best chat bot for your request
Independent chat bot view: lets you chat directly with a single assistant showing only that chat bot's responses and tools
AI Chat automatically sends your question to the most relevant AI chat bot
No need to switch between tabs or guess where your answer lives. It all happens behind the scenes, in one chat
Start a conversation in one web app (like Google or Concur), and continue it in another
No need to restart the chat or lose progress when changing platforms
Keeps your flow going, wherever you work
Maintains your conversation history across web apps and devices
Whether you're on web, desktop, or mobile, your chat picks up right where you left off
Need more space to read or type? You can easily expand the AI Chat to a full-screen view.
The AI Chat tab in the console allows you to configure and manage the chat experience across two main tabs: Chat Bots and Appearance. Learn how to set up chat bots for the AI Chat here:
