# Hippoly Intelligence

**Hippoly Intelligence** is the collection of AI features that power **hi**, the personal assistant in Hippoly. Workspace administrators control whether Hippoly Intelligence is available in the workspace and what content **hi** is allowed to use.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Hippoly Intelligence is part of a paid plan. If your current plan does not include it, the section is still shown in **Workspace settings** but the toggles cannot be changed. See [Upgrade to a paid plan](/administration/subscription-and-billing/upgrade-to-a-paid-plan.md) for how to enable it.
{% endhint %}

## Enable or disable Hippoly Intelligence

When `Enable Hippoly Intelligence` is on, **hi** is available to all workspace members in the team panel and across the workspace. When the toggle is off, **hi** is hidden from the workspace and no one can use it.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to `Settings` in the main menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Expand the **Hippoly Intelligence** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Toggle `Enable Hippoly Intelligence` on or off.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Turning off `Enable Hippoly Intelligence` also turns off `Allow workspace content access`. When you turn `Enable Hippoly Intelligence` back on, content access is re-enabled automatically. You can then turn content access off again if you want **hi** available without giving it access to workspace content.
{% endhint %}

## Allow workspace content access

By default, **hi** can answer general questions but cannot read or reference documents, files, or meetings in your workspace. Turning on `Allow workspace content access` lets **hi** use workspace content such as documents, files, and meetings to answer questions and perform tasks.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to `Settings` in the main menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Expand the **Hippoly Intelligence** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Make sure `Enable Hippoly Intelligence` is on, then toggle `Allow workspace content access` on or off.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Hippoly Intelligence is a secure assistant that does not share any information outside of Hippoly. Information shared with **hi** is used solely to process and respond to the user's specific query.
{% endhint %}

| Allow workspace content access | hi can answer general questions but cannot read documents, files, or meetings. | hi can read and reference workspace content to give more relevant and specific answers. |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/administration/workspace-administration/hippoly-intelligence.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
