Chatbot capabilities
The ValidMind in-app assistant helps you navigate the platform and find answers to product questions. This page describes what the assistant can and cannot do.
Current capabilities
The in-app assistant provides context-aware assistance, understanding where you are in the platform and tailoring responses accordingly.
What the assistant can do
- Answer questions grounded in published ValidMind documentation
- Understand where you are in the platform and tailor responses to your current context
- Provide permission-aware guidance based on your role
- Help you understand platform features and workflows
- Respond to follow-up questions within a conversation
- Offer guidance for the specific page or feature you’re viewing
What the assistant cannot do
- Execute actions in the platform on your behalf
- Make changes to your organization’s data
- Access data you don’t have permission to view
- Guarantee accurate answers for topics outside indexed documentation
- Replace compliance judgment or regulatory expertise
Important limitations
Keep these limitations in mind when using the assistant:
- Hallucination risk — AI-generated responses may occasionally contain inaccuracies. Verify critical information before acting on it.
- Documentation lag — The assistant’s knowledge is based on published documentation, which may not reflect the latest release features. Check release notes for recent changes.
- Not a compliance substitute — The assistant provides guidance but cannot replace professional compliance judgment or regulatory expertise.
- Limited live query scope — When querying your organization’s data, the assistant can currently access model inventory and artifacts only. Questions about workflows, analytics, or other platform areas are not yet supported.
In-app assistant vs. MCP
ValidMind offers two AI-powered interfaces:

The in-app assistant (described on this page) is focused on helping you use the platform. For programmatic access to your model inventory, refer to Connect AI assistants via MCP.
