# Gen2 Assistant Creation

### **What is an assistant?**

An assistant is an artificial intelligence application designed to help users answer questions and provide information in an efficient and personalized way.

It uses advanced natural language models to understand and generate text in a way that mimics human interaction.

### **Creating a Power Pilot AI Assistant**

The next step is to create an assistant so that users can view it and ask their respective questions.

This menu is extremely important, as it is where you configure everything and define which users or groups will have access, as well as which dataset the assistant will be able to use.

To create an assistant, go to:

**Power Pilot – AI > Assistant > Create Assistant** or [click here](https://admin.powerembedded.com.br/PPGen2Assistants/Create).
