AI Assistant

Niv - Docs Publicada em

The AI Assistant in Niv is more than just a chatbot—it’s a way to chat with your notes. Because it has access to your knowledge base, the AI can search, connect, and build on everything you and your team have written. It’s like having a collaborator who always remembers the details.

Why Use the AI Assistant?

  • Ask about your notes: The AI searches your content to answer in context

  • Save time: Get summaries, explanations, or brainstorms without manual searching

  • Act on results: Apply AI responses directly to your notes

  • Customize behavior: Use different AI Scenarios to shape how the AI works with you

What the AI Can Do

1. Search Your Notes

When you ask about something you’ve written, the AI automatically searches your notes—by titles, tags, or properties—to bring back the most relevant context.

  • Example: “What did we decide about the testing strategy?”

  • The AI will search your notes and respond with the relevant decisions.

2. Roll Dice (Fun Tool)

For RPG fans, the AI includes a dice-rolling tool. You can ask it to roll dice during a session, or use it for creative experiments.

  • Example: “Roll 3d6 for me” → the AI rolls and gives the result.

  • While niche, it shows how tools can extend the assistant beyond note search.

3. Apply to Notes

Every message the AI produces includes an Apply button. Clicking it will insert the AI’s response directly into your note—no copy-pasting needed.

  • Perfect for drafting, summarizing, or adding generated text into your workflow seamlessly.

4. Scenarios

You can set up AI Scenarios to shape the AI’s behavior.

  • A scenario is like a custom role or instruction set for the AI

  • You can embed notes into a scenario so the AI is always aware of them

  • Use cases: project-specific assistants, writing partners, RPG game masters, research helpers

For Individuals

  • Summarize personal notes and rediscover forgotten ideas

  • Keep an AI tile open to brainstorm while writing

  • Use custom scenarios to turn the AI into a study partner, editor, or creative sparring buddy

For Teams

  • Ask the AI to find decisions or references across your shared space

  • Summarize meetings or documents instantly

  • Use scenarios to create project-specific assistants that everyone in the space can access

Pro Tips

  • Ask naturally: The AI understands plain language—no special commands needed

  • Use “Apply” often: Build your notes collaboratively with the AI instead of copy-pasting

  • Combine with tiles: Keep an AI chat open next to your notes for ongoing assistance

  • Experiment with scenarios: Create different AIs for different contexts and tasks
