Aster

Aster is a built-in agent available in every organization. Tell it what you need and it points you to the right place:
  • The right agent, with a link that opens a new chat with that agent and your request already typed in.
  • The right app, such as a dashboard or tracker.
  • The right page, such as Knowledge Bases or Scheduled Tasks in Control Hub.
  • Answers about Aster itself, from these docs.
If nothing in your organization fits, Aster says so and points you to the agent that builds new agents. Aster routes; your organization’s agents do the work. It doesn’t create, change or delete anything.

​
Where Aster appears

  • New chats: if your organization has no default agent, new chats start on Aster. In Control Hub → Settings → General → Default agent, this is the Aster option.
  • Agent picker: Aster is at the top under Start here.
Aster is the same for every organization and is maintained by Aster Agents, so it isn’t listed in Control Hub and can’t be edited. It runs on your organization’s default chat model.

​
Turn Aster off

Turning Aster on or off requires the Organization Admin (org:admin) role. See Roles & Permissions.
In Control Hub → Settings → General, set Aster to Off. Aster then disappears from chat, the agent picker and the default agent setting. Turn it back on the same way. To turn it off through the API, for example when provisioning organizations, send:
See Update organization settings.
