Usage

This page covers everything around using a finished assistant — from starting a chat through favorites, sharing and pinning to multi-language support and API access. If you are still creating an assistant, start with Overview and Editor first.

Starting a chat

You can start a chat with your assistant in several ways:

• Click on its profile picture under Favorites to open the chat.
• If you just created it, you can also start it via the Preview on the editing page in the top right.
• Select it under My Assistants and start the chat with a conversation starter or a custom start message.
• When starting a general new chat, you can also select your assistants via the Model Selection at the bottom right. Click on one to start the chat with it.

Favoriting AI assistants

Add an assistant to your favorites by clicking the star on its card. Your favorited assistants appear in the Favorites section of the sidebar with their avatar as the icon. This gives you quick access at any time – click the avatar to open the chat directly.

Sharing AI assistants

Sharing happens in two steps:

1. Click the Share icon on the assistant card or in the editor in the top right.

2. In the share dialog, add teams and select the type of access:

• Execute only – the team can use the assistant but not edit it
• Read only – the team can view the assistant but not use it
• Edit – the team has full access to your assistant

You can also remove access via the same dialog if a team should no longer have the assistant.

Importing assistants via link

You can add assistants via a shareable import link. Links can be created with the Assistant Creator: assistant-creator.meingpt.com.

The import page supports two URL parameters:

• c (recommended): deflate-compressed JSON payload, base64url-encoded (shorter URLs)
• p (legacy): uncompressed JSON payload, base64url-encoded

Example:

https://app.meingpt.com/assistant/import?c=<base64url>

Pinning Assistants to the Sidebar

Workspace admins can pin organization-shared assistants to the Apps section of the sidebar, making them available to all users as dedicated chatbot apps.

How It Works

1. Open the assistant you want to pin (from My Assistants or the assistant editor)
2. Click the Pin icon (📌) in the assistant card header or the assistant editor toolbar
3. The assistant now appears in the Workspace Assistants section of the sidebar for all organization members
4. Users can click on a pinned assistant to immediately start a new chat with it

Key Features

• Dedicated Chat Experience: Clicking a pinned assistant opens a chat with that assistant pre-selected
• Visible to All Users: Pinned assistants appear in every organization member's sidebar, regardless of sharing settings
• Admin-Only Management: Only workspace admins can pin or unpin assistants
• Deletion Protection: Pinned assistants cannot be deleted until they are unpinned first
• Context Menu: Admins can right-click or use the dropdown menu on pinned sidebar items to edit or unpin them

Unpinning an Assistant

To unpin an assistant from the sidebar:

• Click the Unpin icon in the assistant card header or editor toolbar
• Or use the context menu on the pinned item in the sidebar and select Unpin from Sidebar
• The assistant will be removed from the sidebar for all users (existing chats are not affected)

Offering an assistant in multiple languages

International teams can use the same assistant in their own language, without duplicating it per locale. Description, system prompt and conversation starters can be stored in multiple languages, so when the assistant is opened, the variant matching the workspace or user language is shown.

Calling assistants via the API

Through the meinGPT API, you can call assistants from your own applications or automations — for example, from Make integrations or your own front-ends.

The full API reference with endpoints, authentication and code examples is available at Assistants API.
