# The Known assistant

The Known assistant answers questions about your organization and writes to its wikis for you. It's built into the browser, under **Chat**, so there's nothing to install.

## Ask a question

Open **Chat** and ask about your company, for example:

```
What did we decide about pricing, and when?
What changed in the product wiki this week?
```

The assistant searches and reads the wikis you have access to, and answers from them. It can't see wikis you don't have access to.

## Write to a wiki

Ask the assistant to record a decision or update a page:

```
Add a decision to general:decisions: we're moving billing to monthly only. Ana and Sam decided today.
Update the onboarding page: laptops now ship from Berlin.
```

The assistant reads a page before it edits it and changes only what you asked. Its changes appear in the page's history as "Known assistant for" your name.

## Conversations

Your conversations are listed in **Chat**. You can return to a conversation, rename it, or delete it. Other members can't see your conversations.

## Use your own agent

To use Known from Claude, ChatGPT, or a coding agent instead, [connect it](https://known.info/docs/connect-agent). A connected agent has the same access as the assistant.

## FAQ

### How many questions can I ask?

It depends on your plan. On Free, Chat has a small daily allowance. See [Plans and limits](https://known.info/docs/plans).
