## Want to understand how Generative AI actually works? 
If you want to get the most out of generative AI tools, watch this video! You'll learn step by step how "the magic trick" happens, so that you'll be a better, more informed and more deliberate user of generative AI.

This is a re-recording of a talk given by Rajat Paharia, founder of Ask Steve, at the University of Arkansas for the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

The slides are available [here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PTvN5x3sfl-EiHoddB9wfNboKeFppOglzNnfCOS1Rgw/edit).

Demystifying Generative AI - How it Works


## Eating my own dogfood 🐶
I have a high school senior and was recently helping him put together a spreadsheet of prospective colleges. We wanted them in a spreadsheet so that we could sort and filter them, add our own notes, and share the sheet with others. After manually copy and pasting 1 college's details from Niche.com into a Google Sheet, I thought to myself:
1. This sucks
1. I have a tool that can make this easier!

So I made an Agent to help. Learn more at the [For Applying to College](/a2c) page! 

Use Ask Steve to Help you with Applying to College


## Saving User Inputs
Many of Ask Steve's [library tools](/docs/library) request feedback from the user via [User Variables](/docs/tools#user-variables). This enables you to provide some details at runtime, which makes the Tools much more flexible. For example the `Chart this for me` Tool asks you what kind of chart you want, and the `Do something` Tool lets you type in any command. 

If you are going to be using the Tool the same way every time, you can remove the User Variables from the Tool and just paste in the value that you want to use. Then you can skip the dialog that asks you for your input every time. 

To do this, look for the User Variables in your Tool's instructions/prompt. These will be any text surrounded by `{{Double curly braces}}`, and optionally followed by some selection options `(inside parens)`. Delete this text and type or paste in what you want the fixed data to be. Then resave your Tool and you're done! 

Hardcode Your User Inputs So You Can Skip the User Input Dialog


## So You Built a Great Squarespace Site...
And now you're thinking it would be even better for your users if could you add some AI to it. But then you start thinking about what that entails. You need to learn to code, figure out what AI system to use, build an integration into your site, maintain it forever, and then **pay for it all**! It's easier just to do nothing. 

What if you could add AI capabilities to your website in minutes, without having to do any of those things? 

## The Ask Steve Solution
The Ask Steve browser extension gives users a 1-click AI assistant and tool belt for their browser. While it comes with a few default tools and has a library of 100+ more, **you can create & brand your own tools, just for your site, and give your users the ability to install them with 1-click**. So instead of building your own integration, leverage Ask Steve and then you don't have to learn how to code, you don't have to learn about all the different AI systems, you don't have to build an integration into your site, you don't have to maintain anything, and best of all, you don't have to pay anything, and neither do your users. Ask Steve has a free plan, and users use **their own** accounts with AI providers (which they can also get for free), so it's **TOTALLY FREE** for everyone. 

## How Does it Work? 
You use the Ask Steve extension to configure some code that you then copy and paste into a page on your Squarespace site. Then you tell your users to go to that page and in a few clicks they have everything installed. 

<br />
<div style={{ position: 'relative', paddingBottom: '56.25%', height: 0, overflow: 'hidden', maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto' }}>
  <iframe 
    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UZzPzxTez98?si=GPOpQTEJf4alBn4B" 
    title="YouTube video player" 
    frameBorder="0" 
    allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" 
    referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" 
    allowFullScreen 
    style={{ position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, width: '100%', height: '100%' }}>
  </iframe>
</div>
<br />


## What's the Catch? 
There is no catch! You get AI capabilities on your site for free and your users get to use them for free. We built our product and made a free plan because we want people to use it! If you have concerns about how any of the data is used, [this page](/docs/permissions) explains the permissions that we ask for and how we treat user data.

## Did You Know...
.. that you can build your own AI agents with no code at [Agent.ai](https://agent.ai)?

And that you can access them in the flow of work with Ask Steve?

I like to try out the various agent platforms to get a sense for what they're capable of. Billed as the "professional network for AI agents", Agent.ai currently has 800+ agents that you can use, and they have a no-code agent builder so that anyone can build their own and make it available for others to use.

It was built by [Dharmesh Shah](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dharmesh/), founder and CTO at HubSpot. 

The video below starts with a quick demo of the end result, and then dives in to how to create an agent and then wire it up to Ask Steve.
