# Personal Assistant

> Your private assistant inside iTeam: one per person, only you chat with it (not even admins), with personal memory and company knowledge within your permissions. Ask it to connect your accounts (Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack) and work with a copilot that's yours alone.

The **Personal Assistant** is your private helper inside iTeam. Unlike the company agents (which are shared) and the [iTeam Assistant](/en/chat/iteam-assistant) (which helps you build the platform), the Personal Assistant is **yours alone**: there's **one per person**, it keeps **your** memory and works within **your** permissions in the company.

## What it is (and what makes it special)

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="One per person" icon="user">
    Each teammate has their own. It's not shared — it's your individual copilot.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Truly private" icon="lock">
    Only the owner chats with it. **Not even administrators** enter your conversation or read your personal memory.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Personal memory" icon="brain">
    It remembers how you work, your preferences and what you've asked before — so it doesn't start from scratch every time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Knows the company (within your permissions)" icon="building">
    It sees the company's knowledge and resources **as far as your permission reaches** — never beyond.

## What to use it for

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Answer questions about the company" icon="circle-question">
    Ask about policies, processes and company information. It answers based on the knowledge **you** have access to.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Organize your day" icon="calendar-check">
    With accounts connected, it can look at your calendar, summarize emails and help you prioritize — like a personal executive assistant.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Remember your context" icon="bookmark">
    It keeps what matters to you (the projects you're on, how you like to receive answers) and uses it in later conversations.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Connect your accounts

You can ask the Personal Assistant to **connect your accounts** and, from then on, it helps with your email, calendar and messages.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask for the connection">
    Say, for example: *"connect my Gmail"*, *"link my Google Calendar"* or *"connect my Slack"*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize securely">
    Authorization happens through the provider's secure flow (login in the account itself). The Assistant **doesn't** ask for or store your password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it day-to-day">
    Once connected, ask things like *"summarize today's emails"* or *"what do I have on my calendar tomorrow?"*.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The connected accounts are **yours**. They're tied to your Personal Assistant and serve to help you — they aren't shared with the company.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Never paste passwords, keys or tokens directly into the conversation. Always use the secure connection flow (login at the provider). See best practices in [Security & Access](/en/administration/security-and-access).
</Warning>

## Privacy and isolation

<Info>
  The Personal Assistant is **isolated**: your conversation and your personal memory belong to you alone. **Neither the owner nor the administrators** of the company can enter your conversation to read what you said — this is guaranteed by the platform, it's not just a setting.
</Info>

## Recovery when someone leaves the company

What if someone leaves the company? So important work information isn't lost, the company **owners** can **recover** the Personal Assistant of a teammate who left — in an **audited** way.

<Steps>
  <Step title="The teammate leaves the company">
    The person's access is ended normally.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The owner requests the recovery">
    Only the owner can initiate the recovery of that person's Personal Assistant, and the request is **logged**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Everything stays audited">
    The recovery produces a record (who, when, what). It's a controlled exception — not free access to people's privacy.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  While the person is at the company, privacy is total. Recovery exists only for the case of departure, and always with an audit trail — balancing individual privacy with continuity of work.
</Tip>
