Run your community with the AI Owner Copilot

The AI Owner Copilot is a chat-driven admin assistant. You describe what you want in plain language and it performs the work — creating channels, configuring gamification, setting up courses, running analytics, toggling modules, and inviting admins. It supports 18 typed actions, asks you to confirm before anything changes, and records every action in an audit log.

By the end of this tutorial you'll have created a channel, configured a gamification rule, and pulled an analytics summary — all by chatting.

Before you start

You need to be signed in as an owner or admin. Sign-in uses email or Google (no SAML).

Step 1 — Open the Copilot

In your Admin panel, open Admin → AI Copilot. You'll see a chat box.

Step 2 — Create a channel

Type:

Create a #wins channel in the Community space group for members to share progress.

The Copilot proposes the change and shows a confirmation gate. Review the details and click Confirm. The channel appears immediately.

Step 3 — Configure gamification

Now ask:

Give members 20 XP each time they post in #wins.

Confirm when prompted. The Copilot writes the XP rule into Admin → Gamification for you.

Step 4 — Run analytics

Ask:

Show me member growth and retention for the last 30 days.

The Copilot returns a summary you can act on — no dashboards to dig through.

Step 5 — Review the audit log

Every confirmed action is logged. Open Admin → AI Copilot → Audit Log to see exactly what changed, when, and who triggered it. This is your safety net.

What you've learned

You created a channel, set up a reward, and pulled analytics by chatting — and you know where to verify what the Copilot did.

FAQ

Will it change things without asking? No. Destructive or configuration changes pass a confirmation gate first.

How many actions does it support? 18 typed actions, covering channels, gamification, courses, analytics, modules, and admin invites.

Can I undo something? Use the audit log to see what changed, then ask the Copilot or adjust the setting manually.

Does it need a special login? No — your normal owner sign-in (email or Google) works.
