Creating a new Ask AI client

In order to configure Ask AI on your site, you must first have an Ask AI client available.

To configure an Ask AI client:

1. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings.
2. Select the site for which you wish to configure the Ask AI client.
3. Under Integrations, expand the AI cluster.
   

   

4. Toggle on Ask AI Enabled.
5. Expand Ask AI Client, and click Create New.
6. Enter a Name for the Ask AI client you are creating.
7. Select a Vector Embedding provider from the list of available providers. This service converts data (such as queries) into high-dimensional vectors.
   
   Tip

   Brightspot recommends starting with a smaller provider to see if it works for you before moving onto the larger providers.
8. In the module below, click the name of the Vector Embedding provider you selected in step 6, and use the table to complete the fields as needed.
   

   Amazon Bedrock: Claude

   Field	Description
   Credentials	Expand Credentials and select one of the following options: Default—Uses the default credentials that have been set up for your site to access Amazon Bedrock: Claude. Assume Role—This option is used to assume a role that has been created for Amazon Bedrock: Claude that may have different access than the default role. You must also provide the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) for this role. Static—Functions as a separate user with its own set of credentials.
   Region	Enter the AWS region for this Ask AI client.
   Model Version ID	Enter the version ID of the foundation model you are using for this Ask AI client. Learn more about the models available to you by visiting Amazon Bedrock: Claude documentation.
   Max Tokens To Sample	Enter the maximum number of tokens the model should sample per prompt. A token equates to the basic unit of text that a model learns to understand the user input and prompt.
   Temperature	Enter a value between 0.0 and 1.0. The temperature is a parameter that controls the randomness of predictions in a model's text generation. A lower setting makes the model more conservative and deterministic, while a higher setting increases randomness and more creative outputs. recommends a temperature of 0.4 (for Ask AI) or 0.6 (for Create with AI).
   Top K	Enter the Top K value for the model. The model considers a certain number of most-likely candidates for the next token. A lower value narrows the pool and limits the options to more likely outputs, while a higher value expands the pool, giving the model more freedom to consider less likely outputs.
   Top P	Enter a value between 0-1. Top-p is an inference parameter that controls the model's token choices based on the probability of potential options. It is a float with a minimum and maximum of 0 and 1, respectively, and a default of 1. Choose a lower value to decrease the size of the pool and limit the options to more likely outputs. Choose a higher value to increase the size of the pool and allow the model to consider less likely outputs.

   Embedding Model	Enter the name of the embedding model to be used with this configuration. See OpenAI documentation for available models.
   Max Tokens	Enter the maximum number of tokens Open AI should sample. Tokens can be thought of as pieces of words. Before the API processes the request, the input is broken down into tokens. These tokens are not cut up exactly where the words start or end; instead, tokens can include trailing spaces and even sub-words.
   User	Enter a unique identifier that represents your organization, which will help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse.

9. Select a Search Provider. The selected provider converts your content into vectors for use with Ask AI.
