• 

• **AI Recommendations – When this is ON, the system shows recommended results based on what users click next. This helps users discover more relevant information automatically.

  • You can choose Show Both (default) to display both the original and AI-generated fields, or select Replace to show only the AI-generated title and description.

    

• **AI Assist – When enabled, each search result will include a SearchAI Assist button. This feature allows the AI to analyze, compare, and answer questions based on the content of the document.

  

• **ChatBot – Turn this ON to use the built-in ChatBot. It can answer questions using the document content and also store the conversation history.
