# AI Assistant

Holocron includes a built-in AI chat assistant that appears as a sidebar widget. Users can ask questions about your documentation and get answers based on the docs content.

## Enabling and disabling

The assistant is enabled by default. To disable it:

```json
{
  "assistant": {
    "enabled": false
  }
}
```

When disabled, the sidebar widget, chat drawer, and mobile "Ask AI" button are hidden. The chat route still exists and returns `404 Assistant is disabled`.

## How it works

The assistant uses the hosted Holocron AI gateway to process questions. When deployed, the docs app sends the current page plus either inline docs in local development or a `docs.zip` URL in production, then streams the answer back into the chat UI.

Hosted chat uses Cloudflare Workers AI. Authenticated sites send `HOLOCRON_KEY`; unauthenticated requests use a temporary fallback with stricter IP rate limits. The default model is GLM 4.7 Flash.

## What gets disabled

Setting `enabled: false` removes:

* The sidebar chat widget
* The chat drawer overlay
* The mobile "Ask AI" floating button
* Useful responses from `/holocron-api/chat`; the endpoint returns 404 while disabled

## Skill loading

The hosted gateway can accept remote skill URLs, but the built-in docs assistant does not expose a `docs.json` setting for them yet. Today it answers from the current docs content and the docs zip payload.
