AI assistant

# AI assistant

Get contextual help with Console commands, TypeScript scripts, and dashboards while keeping every change under your control.

Varc's AI assistant helps with the tool you are currently using. Select the AI
button in Console, Scripts, a Dashboard, or the widget editor to open a floating
assistant scoped to that source.

The assistant is included with Pro and Team. Pro includes 200 requests per UTC
calendar month. Team includes 500 requests per UTC month, pooled across the
Team rather than multiplied by its seat count. One message you send uses one
request; the reply does not use another. Requests cannot be topped up and there
is no bring-your-own-key option.

## Work alongside the assistant

The assistant stays open until you select its X button. You can drag, resize,
or minimise it and continue using the rest of Varc. Opening AI from another
tool switches to that source's most recent conversation; conversations never
inherit another tool's context.

Select **New chat** to start a blank conversation for the current source. This
does not use a request until you send its first message. Previous chats are
available only for that source and remain in memory until you close the
assistant, close the workspace, quit Varc, or turn AI off.

## Review every suggestion

AI output is always a draft:

- Console suggestions insert command text, but never run it. The normal parser,
  risk warning, confirmation, and Run action still apply.
- Script suggestions open a source diff and can update the local editor draft,
  but never run, save, enable, or grant capabilities to a script.
- Dashboard suggestions open a review draft. You explicitly append them or
  separately confirm replacement. A widget suggestion updates the widget
  composer only; the normal Save action is still required.

Dashboard generation does not query Redis, preview widgets, save the dashboard,
or start polling.

## Context and privacy

When you send a message, Varc sends that message and a bounded snapshot of the
current source to Varc's API for inference with Cloudflare Workers AI. Depending
on the tool, that snapshot can include the current command, script source,
dashboard definition, safe diagnostics, deployment type, logical database,
command catalog, and the public scripting API description.

Varc does not include credentials, environment-variable values, Redis key or
value data, command results, script output, transformer samples, or widget
results and history. Varc does not store prompts or replies in its database,
logs, analytics, or traces; conversations remain in desktop memory.

To remove every AI button and clear open conversations, open **Settings → AI
assistant** and switch off **Enable AI features**.
