# In-Dashboard Help Assistant

> Ask the BubblaV Assistant to configure your chatbot or update settings for you — without leaving your dashboard

Not sure how to set something up? The **BubblaV Assistant** is an inline help chat built into your dashboard. Ask how to configure your bot in any language you like, and get answers right where you're working — no need to open a separate tab or dig through docs. The assistant can also **update settings for you** — it doesn't just answer questions, it can make changes directly, so you don't have to hunt for the right toggle.

## Where to Find It

You can open the BubblaV Assistant from two places:

* The **Assistant** on the **Dashboard Home page** — available as soon as you log in.
* The **question-mark icon** in the workspace header on any website page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Assistant">
    On the Dashboard Home page. Or, inside a website page, click the question-mark icon in the top header.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask your question or request a change">
    Type in any language — ask how to configure something, or ask the assistant to update a setting for you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and confirm">
    For changes the assistant makes on your behalf, review the summary and confirm before it's applied.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The first time you open a website page, a small nudge points out the help icon. Dismiss it, or simply open the assistant — it won't show again.
</Note>

## What to Ask (and Do)

The assistant is tuned for setup and configuration. It can both answer questions and apply changes, such as:

* "How do I make the bot collect leads?"
* "Add a review link to my chatbot."
* "Turn on lead collection for the 'Get Free Quote' button."
* "Connect my Google Business integration."
* "Update my chatbot's greeting message."

For the full mapping of common requests to setup steps, see [Make Your Bot Collect Leads, Quotes & Reviews](/user-guide/configure-bot-leads-quotes-reviews).

## How It Works

* The assistant opens as a **side panel** that stays in view as you scroll — your page remains visible alongside it.
* It's powered by the same BubblaV chatbot, answering from BubblaV's documentation and your setup.
* When you ask it to change a setting, it performs the update through the dashboard — no manual clicking required.
* Close it with the **X** or press `Esc`.

<Tip>
  Think of it as a guided helper for the dashboard: ask where something is, how to enable a feature, or just tell it to make the change — then follow along in the same window.
</Tip>

## Credits

Each BubblaV account gets **100 free assistant credits per month**.

<Note>
  These assistant credits are **separate from your monthly message quota** — using the assistant does not count against the messages your chatbot uses with visitors.
</Note>

When you run out of free credits for the month, the assistant will let you know and point you to alternative ways to get help until your credits reset on the first of the next month.
