Ask asambl

Ask asambl is a conversational assistant built into the app. It has access to your plans, check-ins, and life-area data, so its answers are specific to you rather than generic. Use it to think through your week, review your habits, check progress against your goals, or get a quick read on anything the app already knows about.

Opening Ask asambl

You can open Ask asambl from the sidebar or with a keyboard shortcut. Once it is open, type a question and asambl responds using the context it has from your vault. Because it draws on your own plans and check-ins, you do not have to re-explain your situation each time.

Suggested prompts

asambl suggests prompts to get you started, and the suggestions adapt to two things: the time of day and the life areas you have turned on. In the morning you might see "Plan my day"; in the evening you might see "Reflect on my day". If you have only enabled certain life areas, the suggestions stay relevant to those. You can always ignore the suggestions and ask your own question.

Conversations

You can keep several conversations going at once, so a thread about your fitness goals can stay separate from one about weekly planning. Past threads are searchable, which makes it easy to return to an earlier conversation rather than starting over. You can also open a conversation straight from a plan, so the assistant starts with that plan already in context.

What it can answer

Ask asambl answers questions grounded in the data the app holds:

• Your week: what is coming up, what you planned, where things stand.
• Your habits and check-ins: how consistent you have been, what you have logged.
• Your goals: progress, and what a given goal needs next.
• Your life areas: anything tied to the areas you have turned on.

The more you capture in the app, the more specific its answers become.

Privacy

Your vault stays on your machine. When AI is on, only the prompt for that specific request goes to asambl's managed AI endpoint (hosted on Azure OpenAI), and it is not stored long-term. Semantic search and embeddings run locally on the device, so finding and retrieving your own data does not depend on the cloud.

If you prefer not to use AI at all, you can switch it off entirely. With AI off, Ask asambl cannot generate responses, but your local data and search remain available.
