AI Center

Brief Overview

The AI Center in the Admin Center is a powerful tool for admins to monitor their AI usage across various systems and applications. It also includes an AI settings page where admins can connect knowledge sources to AI Answers and enable AI Answers for their integrations.

The AI Center offers an AI file scanning capability that enhances the versatility and effectiveness of conversational search, ensuring users have access to the information they need in the flow of work. Additionally, admins can request for webpages to be scanned, but this process must be requested though their CSM.

Admins can also request segmentation to knowledge sources to boost the accuracy of answers and improve compliance by ensuring access to information is restricted to the right users.

Note

Access to different AI Center tabs and capabilities varies depending on the WalkMe plan you've selected.

How to Access

The AI Center can be accessed from the Admin Center at admin.walkme.com.

  • The AI Center includes two tabs: AI usage and AI settings
Getting started screen

Getting started

  • If you have not yet purchased an AI features plan, the getting started screen will appear
  • By clicking on Get Access Now, you will be redirected to the AI SmartTips Landing page

AI Usage

This is the AI Usage page in the Admin Center. The dashboard provides an overview of total usage in dollars, allowing you to keep track of your AI consumption. This information helps you understand which features are most used and which items within them are the most utilized.

You can adjust the timeframe for the data displayed by months and export this data in CSV format for further analysis.

Based on the cap defined in the signing, we've included an alert that triggers when 90% of the cap has been used.

This alert gives you options to either contact customer service for assistance or send an admin email alert.

The page consists of two tabs:

  • AI Knowledge Sources: This dashboard allows admins to view, manage, and upload all of their knowledge sources
