Craft 6: AI Assistant

Ask AI is a new fea­ture in Craft 6 that’s avail­able on every con­trol pan­el screen, from the sparkle menu or the com­mand palette. It runs on the providers you set up in AI Con­nec­tions, acts as the signed-in user, and works beside the entry you’re editing.

In this video, I use the assis­tant on a real estate site and cover:

• Rewrit­ing a list­ing and an entry sum­ma­ry, then apply­ing the changes to the entry
• Choos­ing the provider and mod­el for the assis­tant in AI Connections
• How the assis­tant respects the signed-in user’s per­mis­sions, so a con­tent author can only do what a con­tent author can do
• Per­son­al guid­ance on your user account, and site-wide guid­ance for the assis­tant and MCP clients
• Skills, like an audi­ence skill for con­tent writ­ing, called with a slash command
• Adding ele­ments and fields as con­text, and ask­ing ques­tions about the site’s content

One impor­tant detail: Apply is not Save. Apply puts the change in the edi­tor and leaves the entry with unsaved changes. You still save or pub­lish the entry, or send it into review if you have a work­flow defined.

The assis­tant uses the same tools as the Craft MCP serv­er, and it nev­er bypass­es the per­mis­sions already set in Craft.
