# hi — Your personal assistant

## **Understand hi**

**hi** is Hippoly's built-in AI assistant, designed to help you work smarter with documents, meetings, and everyday workspace tasks. Think of **hi** as a knowledgeable colleague who is always available to help — whether you need to draft a document, summarize a meeting agenda, create action items, or get a quick answer.

**hi** is **context-aware**, meaning it adapts to where you are in Hippoly. Open **hi** from a document and it can help you edit, review, or improve the text. Open it from a meeting and it can summarize the agenda, suggest protocol items, or create tasks from decisions. You can also chat with **hi** from anywhere in the workspace for general assistance.

### What hi can help you with

* **Write and edit documents.** Ask **hi** to draft a new document, fix grammar, shorten text, translate, or check if anything is missing.
* **Prepare and follow up on meetings.** **hi** can suggest agenda items, help you write meeting minutes, and create action items from meeting decisions.
* **Read and summarize files.** Upload a file or point **hi** to a document in your workspace and get a quick summary or review.
* **Create workspace content.** Ask **hi** to create documents, action items, meetings, calendar events, or posts — **hi** will show you a preview before anything is created.
* **Search and find.** Ask **hi** to find a specific document, meeting, or action item in your workspace.
* **Answer questions.** Ask **hi** about your workspace content, governance best practices, or general questions.

### Privacy and security

**hi** 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 your specific query. Your conversations with **hi** are private — only you can see them.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your workspace administrator controls whether **hi** is available and whether it can access workspace content such as documents, files, and meetings. See [Enable and configure hi](/using-hippoly/hi-your-assistant/enable-hi.md) for details.
