# Ask Crewfather

## Where it is

On the **Pro** plan, a sparkle button sits in the top bar. It opens the assistant panel anywhere in the app.

## What it does

Ask it what an AI connected to your workspace should be able to answer: what is on the schedule this week, where a job sits on the board, who a customer is and what they owe.

It can also act, and this is the part that separates it from a chat window:

- **Schedule work**, and it books a real visit on the job, crew assigned, rather than hanging a loose event on your calendar.
- **Prepare an estimate or invoice** for you to review and send.
- **Request a photo from the crew** on a job.

**Everything it does is on the record.** An action the assistant performed appears in the job's activity feed and says the assistant did it, the same way a teammate's action names the teammate.

## It remembers

Past conversations reopen from the panel, including what the assistant actually did in each one, so "what did I ask it to do on Tuesday" has an answer.

## This is not the same as connecting your own AI

The assistant lives inside Crewfather and comes with Pro. Separately, you can point **Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or any MCP client you already pay for** at your workspace with an API key you control. That works on every plan and is covered in [connect the AI you already use](/ai/connect-the-ai-you-already-use).
