Troubleshooting
Common problems and how to fix them.
AI & Chat Issues
AI is not responding
- Check your internet connection — the AI needs an active connection
- Try refreshing the page — sometimes the connection drops
- Start a new chat — the current conversation may have an issue
- Contact your admin — the AI provider might be temporarily down
AI gives wrong or irrelevant answers
- Rephrase your question — be more specific about what you need
- Check the source citations — see which documents the AI used. The answer might be based on an outdated document
- Try a different thinking mode — switch to Deep or Ultra for complex questions
- Ask in the right assistant — a specialized assistant (HR, IT) may give better answers for domain-specific questions
- Report to your admin — the Knowledge Base may need updated documents
AI says it cannot find information
- The document may not be uploaded — ask your admin to check the Knowledge Base
- You may not have access — the document might be at a higher access level than your role
- Try different wording — use different keywords or phrases
- The document may be too new — recently uploaded documents need a moment to be processed
Tool confirmation card does not appear
- The AI may respond with text instead — some actions are confirmed through text, not cards
- Try being more explicit — "Create a task titled X assigned to Y due Z" gives the AI clear instructions
Task Issues
I cannot create a task
- Check your role — only Managers and Admins can create and assign tasks to others. Members can create tasks for themselves
- Check if you are in the right department — task creation may be department-scoped
Task is stuck in "In Review"
- A manager needs to approve it — check with your manager
- The approval notification may have been missed — remind the approver directly
SLA timer seems wrong
- SLA only counts business hours — nights, weekends, and holidays are not counted
- Check business hours configuration — ask your admin if the working hours are set correctly
I cannot move a task to "Done"
- Completion conditions may be required — check if there are conditions (checklist, file upload, approval) that need to be met first
- Open the task detail and scroll to the Completion Conditions section to see what is pending
Document Issues
Document upload fails
- Check file size — there may be a size limit set by your admin
- Check file format — see Supported Formats for the full list
- Try a different browser — some browser extensions can block uploads
- Remove password protection — encrypted or password-protected files cannot be processed
AI cannot find my uploaded document
- Wait a moment — new documents need time to be processed
- Check the access level — if set to "Personal", only you can access it in your own chats
- Verify the document uploaded successfully — go to My Documents and check if it appears
Document search returns no results
- Try different keywords — the search understands meaning, so rephrase naturally
- Ask the AI instead — chat search is more powerful than the document list search
- The document may be at a restricted access level
Login Issues
I forgot my password
- Contact your organization administrator to reset it
My account is locked
- Wait for the countdown timer to finish (10 or 30 minutes depending on attempts)
- Do not keep trying — it will extend the lockout
I cannot access the platform
- Check that your admin has created your account
- Verify you are using the correct email address
- Make sure your account has not been deactivated
Notification Issues
I am not receiving notifications
- Check Settings — notification preferences may be turned off
- Check your email spam folder for email notifications
- Verify your email address is correct in your profile
Too many notifications
- Go to Settings to customize which notifications you receive
- You can disable non-critical notifications while keeping important ones (like SLA warnings)
Blueprint Issues
I cannot see the Blueprints section
- Blueprints are only visible to Managers, Executives, and Admins
- Members cannot access Blueprints (but they receive tasks created by blueprints)
A blueprint process is stuck
- Check which step is pending — someone may need to complete a task or approve
- Contact the assignee of the stuck step
- Admins can cancel stuck processes if needed
General
The page looks broken or UI is not loading
- Hard refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
- Clear browser cache
- Try a different browser
- If the problem persists, contact your admin
I need a feature that is not available
- Contact your admin — they may be able to enable it or configure it for your role
- Some features are role-restricted and may require a role change
