Ask AI

Learn how to use Ask AI to get more done inside Ivorey™, and access our step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and everything you need to know!

Before You Dive In

Ask AI is your built-in AI assistant inside Ivorey™, ready to help you get things done without switching between a dozen different tools. You can use it to draft content, generate and edit images, create blog posts, summarise a contact, take quick actions in your account, and ask questions about your business, all from one place.

The more context Ask AI has about your business, the better its results, so it's worth knowing how it gets to know you before you begin.

How does Ask AI understand my business?

Two things help Ask AI feel tailored to you. Your Brand Voice gives it your tone, services, and messaging, so the content it writes sounds like you rather than generic copy. Setting this up first makes a real difference to the quality of what you get back.

Ask AI also has a memory. As you chat, it quietly saves useful, reusable details, like your role, your business, and your preferences, so you don't have to repeat yourself every time. You’ll notice it sometimes seems to remember earlier conversations. You're always in control of what it keeps, and you can review or clear these memories whenever you like.

This guide is perfect if you want to:

  • Use AI as an assistant inside your Ivorey™ account

  • Draft on-brand content like emails, blog posts, social media posts and captions without leaving Ivorey™

  • Use AI to create a course or course offer

  • Generate and edit images for your campaigns, website, and socials

  • Schedule recurring AI prompts

Ask AI comes at an additional usage-based cost. Please refer to our Billing and Inclusions guide for the current pricing.

How to Use Ask AI

Ask AI works through simple, natural prompts - you tell it what you need, and it responds or takes action for you. You can type your prompt or dictate it out loud.

info icon
For content that sounds like you, set up your Brand Voice first so Ask AI can match your tone and messaging. Without it, responses will be more generic.

Use Ask AI to Create a Course or Course Offer

Ask AI can take you from an idea to a structured, ready-to-publish course through a simple chat conversation. Describe what you want to build and it will generate the full outline, write lesson content, set up quizzes and assignments, configure your settings, and set up your course offer, without you needing to click through every setting manually.

Click here for the written steps
  1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Ask AI > click New chat > and describe the course you want to build, for example:

    1. Create a 5-module course on email marketing for small business owners, with 3 lessons per module

    2. Build a course called The Confident Leader Lab based on my attached materials, with a welcome module and a drip schedule that unlocks one module per week

  2. Ask AI will generate a course outline for you to review > reply to ask for any changes or to approve, before it builds the full structure (e.g. rename module 1 to “Getting Started”)

  3. Once you confirm, Ask AI will create the course, modules, lessons, and any quizzes or assessments inside your Ivorey™ account

  4. Get Ask AI to help you configure your course settings, for example ask it to:

    1. Set this course to drip one module per week

    2. Set the price for this course to [price and currency] per month

    3. Add an instructor bio for [your name]

  5. Always review and test a course before publishing or sharing the link - refer to our Course guides for the details

Note: Ask AI will ask for confirmation before making any significant changes and won't delete content without a clear instruction, so you can experiment freely without worrying about losing your work.


Use Ask AI to Generate and Edit Images

Ask AI can create an image from a written description and refine it through follow-up prompts, for a post, email, or web page. You can keep adjusting it until it's right, then save it to reuse.

info icon
Image generation in Ask AI runs on Content AI. Image generation typically uses more tokens than text, so these sessions can cost more. This is billed as part of your Ask AI usage rather than a separate Content AI charge. Please refer to our Billing and Inclusions guide for more details on AI tokens.
Click here for the written steps
  1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Ask AI > click New chat > type a description of the image you want (e.g. Generate an image of a sunny beach yoga class for a wellness brand) > you can add a design style if you like, such as "realistic", "cartoon", or "3D" > and press Enter

  2. After a few seconds, Ask AI will generate your image > type an edit instruction into the prompt field below the image, to refine it (e.g. add soft morning light or make the background brighter) > and press Enter

  3. You can keep refining as many times as you like

  4. Once you're happy with your image, click the [↓] down arrow, in the bottom left corner to download the image to your device, so you can use it


Use Ask AI to Create a Blog Post

Ask AI can turn a single prompt into a structured, SEO-friendly blog draft, complete with title suggestions, headings, and long-form copy. You then drop it into your blog to format and publish.

Click here for the written steps
  1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Ask AI > click New chat > write a clear prompt describing the post you want (the more detail you give, the better the draft), try to include:

    1. Your topic and who it's for

    2. Roughly how long you'd like it (e.g. around 1,000 words)

    3. Your tone of voice (e.g. warm and professional)

    4. Any keywords or a call to action you'd like included

      Example: “Write a 1,000-word blog post for busy founders on how to stay consistent on social media. Warm but professional tone. Include headings and a call to action to book a discovery call.”

  2. (optional) Paste in a URL or add an image for extra context > and tell Ask AI how to use it (e.g. use this page for context on my services)

  3. Press Enter to submit your prompt > and review the draft

  4. Ask for changes if you need them, such as "shorten the intro" or "make it more story-driven"

  5. When you're happy, copy the draft > and paste it into a new post in your blog to format > add images > set your SEO details > and publish - refer to our Create a Blog Post guide for the detailed steps

Note: Ask AI can pull in recent information from the web for current topics, but always read through and fact-check your draft before publishing.


Use Ask AI to Build a Knowledge Base for Your AI Agents

Ask AI can help you build a knowledge base, a library of information about your business, and connect it to your customer-facing AI Agents so they answer more accurately. It can use your Brand Voice or your website as the starting content.

warning icon
Prerequisite: Make sure the Conversation AI or Voice AI Agent you'd like to connect to is already set up in your account before you start, so it's ready to attach.
Click here for the written steps
  1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Ask AI > click New chat > and type what you'd like Ask AI to build

    Example: "Create a knowledge base from my website [paste in URL] and attach it to my Conversation AI"

  2. Confirm the content source when prompted

    1. Ask AI may want to use your Brand Voice, suggest your website, or let you enter a different URL

    2. It always asks before crawling any website

  3. Let Ask AI create the knowledge base (if you've chosen a website, it adds it as a source and begins gathering the content automatically)

  4. If prompted, choose whether to generate FAQs from your business information (you can also add these later)

  5. Choose where to attach your knowledge base:

    1. An existing or new Conversation AI bot (these can use more than one knowledge base) - refer to our Conversation AI guide for the details

    2. An existing Voice AI agent (these use one knowledge base each)


Schedule Recurring AI Tasks

If you find yourself asking Ask AI the same thing regularly, you can schedule it to run automatically and save the results for you, like a weekly content brief every Monday, or a daily summary of new leads. Your insights arrive on time without you lifting a finger.

Click here for the written steps
  1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Ask AI > click the [◧] window icon, to open the left-hand side panel > and click [Scheduled]

  2. Click [+ New task] > and fill in your task details:

    1. Name: a clear label (e.g. Monday content brief)

    2. Description: (optional) give more information about the task

    3. Prompt: exactly what you want Ask AI to do (e.g. Give me three content ideas for this week based on my brand voice)

    4. Frequency: choose how often it runs - Hourly, Daily, Weekdays, or Weekly

  3. Click [Save]

  4. You can also create a scheduled task straight from a chat by asking (e.g. Send me a summary of new leads every weekday at 9 am) > and Ask AI will set it up for you

  5. Your task appears in the list with its next run time shown in your local time > and will also display in the left-hand sidebar, under the Scheduled drop-down

  6. When a task runs, open it from your task list to read the result > a 🔵 blue circle marker shows you when a new result is waiting

    1. Click the 📝 note icon to edit the task > click [Save Changes]

    2. Click the 🗑 trash icon to delete the task

    3. Click the [▶ Run Now] button to run the task immediately

    4. Under Repeats, toggle it OFF to pause > and ON to resume (pausing stops it running until you resume it, without losing your past results)


Use Skills to Save Set Instructions

Skills let you teach Ask AI a process once, so it repeats it the exact same way every time you ask. This doesn’t repeat on a schedule like Scheduled Tasks do, but Ask AI can use Skills on demand or whenever they’re relevant to a request. From a caption format to a full report structure - once it’s set, it's ready whenever you need it.

Please refer to our Ask AI Skills guide for the detailed steps.


Connect Ask AI to External Apps or Your Browser

Beyond your Ivorey™ account, Ask AI can operate directly in third-party tools or apps to complete tasks or pull data into Ivorey™. It can also connect directly to any Chrome-based browser, to open new tabs and run tasks online, without you leaving your Ask AI chat.

Please refer to our Ask AI Connectors guide for the detailed steps.


Manage What Ask AI Remembers

Over time, Ask AI saves useful details about you and your business so you don't have to repeat yourself in every chat. You're always in control of what it keeps, and you can review or remove anything that's no longer relevant.

info icon
Ask AI only saves meaningful, reusable details, not every message. It skips one-off requests and anything it already knows.

Click here for the written steps

  2. On the Personalization tab, next to Memory, click the [Manage] button

  3. Review the list of saved memories, or search to find a specific one

  4. Click the 🗑 trash icon, next to any specific memory, to remove anything that's outdated or no longer useful

  5. In the top right corner:

    1. Click the [≡] lines icon to sort by newest or oldest first

    2. Click the 🗑 trash icon, to delete all memories

    3. Click the [↑ Import Memories] button, to type or paste in anything you want Ask AI to remember about you or your business

      1. Copy the provided prompt > and paste it into your existing AI assistant (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, etc.), to get a summary of your business from those existing threads

Note: You can import up to 100 memories at a time, and any duplicates are skipped automatically.


Frequently Asked Questions

Will a scheduled task email me when it runs?

No, a scheduled Ask AI task will not email you with the result by default. It runs your prompt and saves the result to its history for you to read. It will only send an email or message if your prompt specifically asks it to, and your account is set up to send internal notifications and/or emails.

Can Ask AI take actions in my account, not only answer questions?

Yes, alongside writing content and answering questions, Ask AI can carry out supported actions from chat when you ask, such as creating a contact, applying tags, or updating a pipeline.

Can I use Ask AI from my phone?

Yes, Ask AI is available in our mobile app, LeadConnector! Please refer to our LeadConnector App guide for the steps to download the app.

Can my team see each other's Ask AI conversations?

No, each user only sees their own Ask AI chat history, even when sharing the same Ivorey™ account.
