AI in Profusia

If the people running your Profusia have configured an AI provider, two extra things appear. "Ask" on a document answers questions about that one document. "Discuss" on a space answers questions about the work in that place — it reads the documents there, the description of what the space is for, the project's goals, and the record of how its direction changed, and it tells you which documents it actually read so you can check the answer. Neither can change anything. They read and answer; they cannot publish, edit, delete or share. Nothing you ask is stored. Close the panel and the conversation is gone. If you do not see these, AI is not switched on for your deployment. That is a setting for whoever runs Profusia, not something a workspace admin can turn on, and it is a perfectly normal state to be in — everything else works the same.

The small compass at the top right of every page opens the Navigator: one place that can find anything, teach you the product, and answer questions. Type, and it matches as you type — pages, spaces, documents (including the text inside them), plans, cards, live tables, and the product's own features. Press Enter and you are taken straight there; where it matched text inside a document, the passage is highlighted when you arrive. Guides are short click-through walks — what each module is for, how sharing works, what the AI can do — built from this help, with a "Show me" that takes you to the real page. If AI is switched on for your deployment, you can also just ask a question in your own words — about the product, or about your own workspace ("which plans mention the pricing work?"). It reads only what you can already see, tells you exactly which documents it read, and offers the places to go next. Nothing you ask is stored. If AI is not switched on, everything else still works — that is a normal state, not an error.

Read-only, always. The built-in AI can read and answer; it cannot publish, edit, delete or share anything, which is also what bounds the risk of a document that tries to give it instructions. Nothing you ask is stored — close the panel and the conversation is gone.

There is a short guide at /skill written for your AI rather than for you. Saving it into Claude or ChatGPT (as a skill, project instruction, or custom instruction) makes your assistant noticeably better at using Profusia — it stops asking you where things go and starts recording project history properly. It is a public page, so you can hand the link to a colleague without giving them access to anything.
