# AI Data Assistant

## What is AI Data Assistant?

It’s a natural language search tool powered by AI that allows users to interact with complex data APIs through a simple chat interface. No coding is required. Both technical and non-technical users can explore, analyze, and retrieve data efficiently – making insights more accessible and accelerating decision-making.

***

## How does this work?

* **Eliminates technical barriers**. You can ask questions in plain language without knowing query syntax – AI Data Assistant interprets your intent.
* **Delivers instant answers**. No setup or configuration needed.
* **Explains its logic**. It’s context-aware, showing how results were generated so you can trust what you see.
* **Helps you move forward**. It suggests ways to refine or expand your search, and offers alternatives when something doesn’t work.

***

## What if my query is too vague or complex?

The assistant automatically:

* Follows up with clarifying questions (e.g., “Do you mean companies by funding or by employee count?”).
* Offers suggestions or alternatives if the query doesn’t return results.
* Maintains context so you can easily refine your search (e.g., “Now filter for companies in New York”).

## How is my message history handled?

You can only access your own conversations — no one else can view them, and you won’t see messages from other team members. You can return to any recent chat, continue the conversation, and find it using the `History` button. Your chat list automatically shows messages from the last 30 days, and any chats older than 30 days are cleared from the history.

## How much does AI Data Assistant cost?

AI Data Assistant uses Multi-source data, so it deducts credits based on each Multi-source pricing. Each interaction with the assistant uses **Search credits**. If you choose to collect data, each successfully retrieved record uses **Collect credits**.

|                            | Search credits per interaction | Collect credits per record |
| -------------------------- | :----------------------------: | :------------------------: |
| Multi-source Company data  |                2               |              2             |
| Multi-source Employee data |                2               |              2             |
| Multi-source Jobs data     |                1               |              1             |

## How to download the data?&#x20;

You’ll see an estimated credit cost before confirming the collect.

* If you have enough credits to download all data records based on your search criteria, click the `Download full data` button.&#x20;
* If you don’t have enough credits, you can download the number of records that your current balance allows, or you can upgrade your plan and add more credits to download a full dataset.

After you selected to `Download data` button, the file appears directly in the Data Assistant page. You will be able to download the data in JSONL format.
