# AI assistant interaction patterns

Learn about common interaction patterns of the AI assistant, which enhance onboarding and workflow efficiency.

The AI assistant is screen-context aware and provides guidance throughout onboarding and post onboarding workflows.

Common interaction patterns include:

-   **Proactive recommendations**: Analyzes ERP structure and transaction history to suggest an optimal configuration.

-   **Conversational queries**: Allows users to ask questions about the current step or overall configuration.

-   **Guided resolution**: Provides step-by-step workflows for complex tasks such as nexus declaration.

-   **Batch operations**: Supports bulk actions such as applying tax codes across item categories or sending certificate renewal requests.

-   **AI as operator**: Performs actions on the user’s behalf after explicit confirmation at each step.
