Enabling the Arc Assistant in Arc
In the Process Editor, you can now ask any question you want to the Arc Assistant. The Arc Assistant is powered by OpenAI (ChatGPT).
How to activate the Arc Assistant
To use this feature, you need to sign up and request an API key here. Once you have your key, go to the Arc user preferences and paste your key.
Once the API Key is entered, in the process editor after clicking on the Arc Assistant button, a new panel will open on the left. You can now ask any question you like to OpenAI.
Just one example would be to highlight some part of the code and then ask the Arc Assistant to explain it to you:
Be aware that the highlighted code is sent to OpenAI servers
How to disable the Arc Assistant
The Arc Assistant only sends data to OpenAI when you press the Ask Assistant button. It only sends the code highlighted.
If you have to disable it for security reasons, open your settings.yml file and add the following setting:
enablearcassistant: false
Once the settings.yml file updated then you just need to refresh your browser.
