Periskope has two AI assistants built into the interface — the Org Assistant and the Chat Assistant. Each serves a different purpose, and together they cover everything from bulk workspace actions to per-conversation intelligence.

Chat Assistant

The Chat Assistant is available inside any individual chat. When you open a chat, look for the right-side panel — click the AI tab to access it.

Chat Assistant

The Chat Assistant gives you quick, context-aware actions specific to the conversation you’re in — without needing to read through the entire chat history.

What the Chat Assistant Can Do

When you open the AI tab in a chat, you’ll see a set of built-in quick actions:

You can also type a custom question in the text field at the bottom of the AI panel:

Org Assistant

The Org Assistant is available across every page in Periskope. Look for the AI icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen — clicking it opens the Org Assistant in a side panel.

Org Assistant

Unlike the AI Agent (which talks to your customers), the Org Assistant works for your team. It understands your workspace, can access chat data, and can take real actions — all from a single conversation.

What the Org Assistant Can Do


Manage Multiple Chats at Once

One of the most powerful — and least obvious — things the Org Assistant can do is act across many chats at the same time. Instead of opening each chat individually, just tell it what you need.

Update labels across multiple chats

Apply, update, or remove labels across a group of chats in one instruction. Useful after a busy period when chats need to be re-categorised, or when tagging a batch of conversations for a campaign or audit. Example prompts:

Assign multiple chats to one person

Hand off an entire batch of chats to a team member in a single request. Useful during shift changes or when redistributing workload.

Example prompts:

Send private notes to multiple chats

Drop an internal note into several chats simultaneously — helpful when you need to flag context or instructions for your team across multiple active conversations at once.

Example prompts:

Activate the AI Agent on multiple chats

Switch on the AI Agent across several chats at the same time, without toggling each one manually. Example prompts:

Handle Tasks & Tickets in Bulk

Update multiple tickets or tasks

Describe the change you need and let the Org Assistant apply it across all matching tickets at once — no need to open each one individually. Example prompts:

Look Up Chat Data Instantly

Get custom properties of any chat

Every chat can have custom properties attached — things like org_id, plan type, account tier, or renewal date. Instead of opening the chat to look these up, just ask. Example prompts:

Search messages within a specific timeframe

Search for specific messages across a set of chats within a date range. Useful for audits, escalation reviews, or tracking down a conversation.

Custom Tool Actions

If your workspace has Custom Tools configured, the Org Assistant can call them directly — no tab switching, no manually looking up IDs. When you ask it to perform an action, the Org Assistant will:
  1. Understand what you need from your message
  2. Look up required values — like org_id — from the chat’s custom properties automatically
  3. Call the relevant Custom Tool with the right parameters
  4. Confirm the result back to you in the conversation

Example — Extending a customer’s trial

The assistant finds the org_id from the chat’s custom properties and calls your trial extension tool automatically — no need to open the chat.

Example — Fetching account details

Note: For custom tool actions to work, the relevant tool must be active under AI > Custom Tools, and required properties like org_id must be present in the chat’s custom properties.
