# Nextcloud Assistant

The Nextcloud Assistant: its purpose, subscription details, model selection, data handling, and how to turn it off.

The Nextcloud Assistant is the AI assistant in Nextcloud Workspace, enabled in every new workspace. It runs on the [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD AI Model Hub</mark>](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub.md), so inference stays on <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> infrastructure rather than reaching a third-party provider.

## What the Assistant does

The Nextcloud Assistant groups its core capabilities as follows:

* **Chat with AI:** Hold a conversation with the Assistant.
* **Work with text:** Generate text, write from context, summarize, generate headlines, extract topics, reformulate, change tone, and proofread.
* **Translate:** Translate text between languages, with the source language detected automatically.
* **Work with images:** Generate an image from a description.

## What the subscription includes

Use of the Assistant is included in the per-seat price, and carries no separate charge. For how seats are billed, see [<mark style="color:blue;">Nextcloud Workspace Billing</mark>](/cloud/sovereign-workplace/nextcloud-workspace/billing.md).

## How the models are selected

<code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> provides the models behind the Assistant and maintains them as part of the managed service. For most tasks you can choose which of the available models generates the result, and set a limit on the length of that result. Chat with AI runs on a fixed model. The models on offer may change over time as more capable ones become available.

Integrating your own or a third-party model is unavailable.

Further AI capabilities are planned.

## Data handling

Workspace content is never used to train AI models. Because the Assistant runs on the AI Model Hub, the data-handling terms of that service apply to Assistant requests, including processing locations, sub-processors, and security measures. For more information, see [<mark style="color:blue;">AI Model Hub Data Handling</mark>](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/governance-and-compliance/data-handling.md).

## Turning the Assistant off

A workspace administrator can disable the Nextcloud Assistant, which removes it from the workspace for all users.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/sovereign-workplace/nextcloud-workspace/overview/ai-assistant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
