What the AI Assistant Can Do for You

The AI Assistant can help you out with the following tasks:

• Instant Access to Relevant Resources: Say goodbye to endless searching! The AI Assistant provides you with the documentation, APIs, and SDKs you need, right at your fingertips.
• Code Generation on Demand: Need a code snippet? Just ask! The AI Assistant can generate code to kickstart your projects. Refine, regenerate, or customize the code to fit your exact needs.
• Guided Exploration: Not sure where to start? Select Start building with Webex for Developers for a guided tour of the AI Assistant. Choose a specific Webex product, and the assistant will suggest follow-up questions to guide you.
• Clarification and Precision: The Assistant will ask clarifying questions to ensure it understands your intent, providing you with the most relevant and accurate information.
• Iterative Enhancement: Use the provided tools to further refine generated code to get to an output which is aligned with your requirements.

Get Started with the AI Assistant

To get started with the AI Assistant:

1. Visit Webex Developer Portal
2. Log in with your Developer portal ID (or sign up for free if you don't have one).
3. Select the AI Assistant icon next to your profile picture.
4. Start building! Select a quick action or type your query.

Making the Most of the AI Assistant

The AI Assistant makes it easier to build on Webex, with different layout options, the ability to tweak generated code output in multiple ways and collaborate to get your desired results.

Layout Options

Choose between full screen, floating, or docked view, to align with your development environment

Refine Your Generated Code

Tweak code using the edit bar options, Refine, Regenerate, or Customize. You can also change specific parts of the code by selecting/highlighting the specific lines and right clicking to get the option to refine or customize.

Refine provides some pre-defined change options like Make modular, Add annotation and Simplify code which can be used either on the entire code or specific sections. Customize allows you to enter custom queries to edit the code with specifics. For example, you could ask the assistant to elaborate on the error cases and handle different possible error scenarios with error codes!

Each refinement/regeneration creates a new version of the code, allowing you to work across multiple versions and choose the one that suits your needs the best. The assistant allows up to 5 versions for each generated code block.

Share and Collaborate

Easily copy, export, or share your generated code directly to a Webex space for seamless collaboration with the options provided on top of the code block.

Important Considerations

Please keep these considerations in mind when using the AI Assistant:

• Usage is limited to fifteen prompts per day.
• The AI Assistant is currently available to organizations in the following regions: US, EU.
• The AI Assistant may occasionally make mistakes, so please validate the generated information and code.
• Currently, only Webex APIs are supported for code generation (SDK support is coming soon!).
• To change the language of your generated code, just post a follow up query with the language you want it in
