AI Chat is where you create and manage assistants for your users. Assistants connect to different sources — AI public models, ActionBot, WalkMe in-app content, and more — giving users one place to get answers, complete tasks, and navigate their applications without leaving their workflow.
AI Chat is built around the Unified AI Chat, a single interface where smart routing automatically directs each query to the most relevant assistant. Optionally, you can also set up Independent Assistants — stand-alone assistants users can select from a dropdown, each opening in its own tab, for when you want to give users direct access to a specific assistant.
Once configured, AI Chat is surfaced to users in the locations you enable.
Access
Access the AI Chat in the console:
Open the WalkMe Console:
Go to the Content category
Select AI Chat
AI Chat contains two pages: Assistants and Locations
The Assistants page is where you create, view, and manage your AI assistants. It has two tabs: AI Assistants and Appearance.
The Assistants tab lets you create and manage assistants that power the chat interface, either as part of unified chat or as standalone independent assistant
The Appearance tab lets you control the look and feel of the chat interface, including welcome messaging and logo branding
Each assistant appears as a card showing its name, description, and current status. Assistants are organized into two sections depending on how they're surfaced to users — Unified AI Chat and Independent Assistants. From here you can create new assistants or select an existing one to edit.
Status
Each assistant card displays its current status. The status indicates whether the assistant is available to users.
Published: The assistant is live and available to users
Unpublished: The assistant has been published before but is currently not available to users
Draft: The assistant has never been published. Changes are saved but users can't see it yet
The Unified AI Chat section displays all assistants integrated into the unified chat interface. When a user opens AI Chat, smart routing directs their query to the most relevant assistant automatically.
The section header shows the number of assistants currently added to the unified interface.
Key Benefits
