The new Aivah workspace makes your AI employees easier to build, faster to use and better at their jobs. Here's what's new, and where everything you know lives now.

Before you start

Sign in at app.aivah.ai. Your employees, conversations, web experiences and settings are all where you left them.

Older Help Center links keep working, so a guide address can still contain playground.

2. Teach your employees skills

A skill is step-by-step know-how for one kind of task. Library → Skills has a catalog of ready-made skills, from qualifying leads to drafting follow-ups. Choose Add & Use to turn one on for every new conversation. You can also give up to six to an employee or pick one for a message in Chat. Or choose New Skill and let Aivah draft one from your own playbook. See Teach your employees skills.

3. Talk face to face in Companion

Companion is its own area now: a lit stage for your employee's character. Choose Voice only when you just want to talk. A live call keeps running while you move around the workspace. See Talk with your employee in Companion.

4. Ask Aivah to do it for you

Press Cmd/Ctrl+K to find anything, and ask Ask Aivah to set things up for you. It asks before it changes anything important. Press ? on any page for help with that page. See Ask Aivah, search and get help.

5. Set your house style once

Generation preferences is now a full page. It has templates for every format, a brand kit, previews and How Aivah reads this. See Set your house style.

6. Get going faster

New accounts get a three-step guided setup that reads your website. Home shows what needs your attention, your last seven days and a checklist to get your first employee working. See Create your account and finish guided setup.

7. More improvements

  • Duplicate an employee from its menu to start a new one from the same setup.
  • Deploy → Meetings takes any kind of character, including Gemini Live. Its Hero option adds group meeting mode. See Invite an employee to a meeting.
  • After you publish a web experience, Links and embed code gives you every link and snippet at once. Each experience also offers Open and Duplicate.
  • Content studio adds downloads, Retry for anything that didn't finish, and notices when long jobs complete.
  • Chat adds Stop generating, Ask again and Edit and send again.

Good to know

Duplicating an employee copies its setup but not its documents. Add documents to the copy from its Knowledge tab.

Troubleshooting

  • A guide or screenshot looks different from your screen: use the table above and follow the labels in your workspace.
  • You can't find a conversation: Chat and Companion now keep separate lists. Check the other one.
  • A word is new to you: see Words we use.
  • Something else is missing: press ? for help on that page, or contact support.

Next steps

Take the workspace tour, then teach your employee skills.
