Ask AI is an intelligent website assistant designed for K–12 independent school and district websites around the world. Unlike traditional rule-based systems, Ask AI delivers dynamic, thoughtful, and helpful interactions by being adaptive, context-aware, and user-focused. Designed to support families, it provides quick and accurate answers without the need to search, click, or sift through pages of information, making it far more than just your ordinary chatbot.

Ask AI Chatbot picker dropdown (top right)
Do you see a dropdown in the top right? If so, you have the capability to manage multiple instances within the same platform.

- Click Add new chatbot and, if you have other sites available, you can configure the settings and even copy the settings from an existing instance to make this process faster.
Translation support
Ask AI features comprehensive translation support for the admin user interface, ensuring your team can manage settings, analytics, and chatbot configurations with localized clarity.
Key features:
- Five supported languages: Choose between English (default), Spanish, French, German, and Chinese (Simplified).
- Full interface localization: Selecting a language translates the entire administrative experience, from navigation menus to action buttons and instructional text.
- Global management: Located conveniently in the top-right menu, the translation toggle allows administrators across different regions to work in their preferred language instantly.
⚠️ Important Note
While the admin interface is fully localized, please note the following exceptions:
- Widget preview: The live preview of the chatbot widget will not translate when you change the admin language. This is intentional to ensure you see exactly what your customers see; since the front-facing widget requires separate configuration for end-users, an automatic preview translation could be misleading.
- Chat Logs: To preserve the original context of user interactions, chat logs remain in the language used during the actual conversation and are not affected by admin interface settings.
