PRIVATE CHAT ASSISTANT · Workflow idea

Have a useful AI conversation on your own equipment.

Offer a straightforward chat experience backed by an assistant running on equipment your team manages. A person sends a question and receives a response in the same conversation, making it easier to experiment without relying on a hosted assistant for every exchange.

  2. Send the message to the local assistant

    Use the locally available assistant selected by the team to prepare a response to the person’s message.

  3. Return the response in context

    Show the answer in the same conversation so the person can ask a follow-up or clarify their request.

  4. Explain when an answer is unavailable

    Let the person know when the assistant or local service cannot respond, and offer an appropriate next step.

  5. Review important answers before acting

    Ask a person to check factual, sensitive, or consequential responses against a trusted source.

Keep in mind

Local hosting does not guarantee that information is private or correct. Confirm who can access the equipment and conversation history, avoid entering sensitive details unless approved, and have a person verify important answers before relying on them.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the chat audience and purpose

Decide who may use the assistant and what kinds of questions are suitable for this experience.

Prepare the managed local environment

Confirm the selected assistant is available on equipment the responsible owner maintains.

Set conversation privacy and retention

Choose who can view chat history, how long it is kept, and what information should not be entered.

Test routine questions and unavailable periods

Check common requests, follow-up messages, and a period when the local assistant cannot be reached.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
