# AI Feature settings

> Enable and disable individual AI features in your Omni organization.

<Note>
  **Organization Admin** permissions are required to access and modify AI settings.
</Note>

## Enable AI

Enables AI features in the instance. **Must be enabled to individually enable or disable the other AI features in this tab.**

<h2 id="workbook-agent">
  Omni Agent
</h2>

Enables the [AI agent in workbooks](/ai/queries) and the [standalone chat](/ai/chat) page. **Must be enabled to individually enable or disable the other AI features listed under this setting.**

### Chat

When enabled, the [Omni Agent](/ai/chat) page is accessible outside of workbooks. This also enables [embedding the Omni Agent into external applications](/embed/customization/ai-chat).

### Chat in navigation

Controls whether the Omni Agent appears in the main [sidebar](/administration/settings/sidebar). When disabled, the Omni Agent entry point is hidden from default and embed navigation, while other chat surfaces (ex: workbook, dashboard) remain accessible. Enabled by default.

This setting is useful for embed customers who want chat functionality in workbooks and dashboards without exposing the standalone Omni Agent page in the sidebar.

### Chat on right side

When enabled, the split-view AI chat panel defaults to the right side of the screen, with the document or dashboard on the left, for everyone in the org. When disabled (default), the chat panel defaults to the left, matching the current behavior.

Individual users can override this default for themselves with the [**Chat panel side**](/administration/users/your-account#chat-panel-side) setting in their account settings. You can also override it for specific users with the [`omni_chat_on_right_side`](/administration/users/attributes) user attribute.

### Skills

Controls whether users can access [skills](/ai/skills). When enabled, users can access the [**Skills** page](/ai/skills#ui-create-skill) in the main [sidebar](/administration/settings/sidebar) and create and run skills in the [Omni Agent](/ai/skills#agent-create-skill). Enabled by default.

<Tooltip tip="Skills defined in model files and topic files using the skills parameter" headline="To be deprecated." cta="Learn more" href="/ai/skills#ide-create-skill">Model-defined skills</Tooltip> are not affected by this setting. These skills will still be runnable even when this setting is disabled.

### Blank workbook topic picking

Enables the **Ask AI** option in blank workbook tabs.

### Read result data <Tooltip tip="This setting uses an LLM to process query results." cta="Learn more" href="/ai/security"><Icon icon="database" color="#1e40af" /></Tooltip>

Allows the AI to read query results. [Used to respond](/ai/queries#summarizing-query-results) to summarization prompts, detect anomalies, and highlight insights in the chat interface. **Must be enabled to use [Chat with Content](/ai/dashboard-assistant).**

### File uploads <Tooltip tip="This setting uses an LLM to process query results." cta="Learn more" href="/ai/security"><Icon icon="database" color="#1e40af" /></Tooltip>

Allows users to upload files and images in chat conversations for analysis and context.

### AI Memory <Tooltip tip="This setting uses an LLM to process query results." cta="Learn more" href="/ai/security"><Icon icon="database" color="#1e40af" /></Tooltip>

<Note>
  This feature is not currently supported for embedded instances.
</Note>

Controls whether users can store personal context on their profile that the Omni Agent reads across conversations. When enabled, users can save information from chat to their [personal memory](/ai/chat#memory) or add context manually from their account settings page.

When disabled, the Omni Agent cannot use personal memories in chat sessions, save new memories, or update existing memories. The **AI memory** section on users' account settings pages will not be visible to users. Existing user memories are retained and will become accessible to users and the Omni Agent when the setting is re-enabled.

### Web search

<Note>
  This setting only appears when your organization is deployed on AWS in a [supported cloud region](/administration/security/cloud-regions). Currently, web search is only supported for United States and EU AWS regions.
</Note>

Allows the Omni Agent to search the web for real-time information, using a web search connector managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Enabled by default.

Each agent turn is limited to five web searches. After the Omni Agent reaches this limit, it can't run more searches in the same turn. See [AI data privacy](/ai/security#web-search) for information on how data is processed when web search is enabled.

## AI visualization summary <Tooltip tip="This setting uses an LLM to process query results." cta="Learn more" href="/ai/security"><Icon icon="database" color="#1e40af" /></Tooltip>

Enables the [**AI summary** visualization type](/visualize-present/visualizations/types/ai-summary) and [AI-generated subtitles and descriptions on charts](/visualize-present/dashboards/charts#adding-chart-subtitles-and-descriptions).

## Default connection

<Note>
  This setting only appears when your organization has more than one [connection](/connect-data).
</Note>

Defines the database connection the [Omni Agent](/ai/chat) initially uses when a user opens a session. If not set, Omni will use the first connection in an alphabetically-sorted list of connections.

When a user opens the Omni Agent, the connection is selected in the following order of precedence:

<Steps>
  <Step noAnchor title="URL parameter or chat history">
    A connection specified in the URL (`?modelId=`) or previously used in the chat session
  </Step>

  <Step noAnchor title="Organization default">
    The connection configured in this setting
  </Step>

  <Step noAnchor title="Alphabetical">
    The first connection alphabetically (default behavior)
  </Step>
</Steps>

If the configured default connection is deleted, hidden by access controls, or otherwise not visible to a user, Omni selects the first connection alphabetically.
