Getting Started

AI Hub is the platform for interacting with governed AI assistants called Channels, retrieving answers grounded in approved organizational documents, and using AI within your organization's policies. The application launches from Akabot Center and inherits the identity, organizational context, and permissions of the current Akabot Center session.

How to use the procedures​

Each procedure in this guide uses the following conventions:

  • Prerequisites describe access or configuration required before starting.
  • Procedure lists the ordered steps.
  • Expected result states what a successful outcome looks like.
  • If it fails describes the first safe corrective action.

Menu names, button labels, tab names, and status values are shown in bold. Values such as <CENTER_URL> represent environment-specific addresses provided by your administrator.

Step 1: Open the application​

Prerequisites

  • An active Akabot Center account.
  • Permission for at least one AI Hub function.
  • A supported browser allowed by the customer.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to Akabot Center at <CENTER_URL>.
  2. Select the organization in which you intend to work.
  3. Open AI Hub from the Akabot Center application menu.
  4. Wait for the embedded application to finish loading.
  5. Confirm the active organization shown in the top bar. If the indicator is not visible, verify your organization selection in Akabot Center before continuing.

✅ Expected result: The application opens without a second login prompt and displays only permitted navigation items.

⚠️ If it fails:

  • If Session expired appears, sign in to Akabot Center again and reopen the application.
  • If the frame is blank, capture the browser error without sensitive data and contact support.
  • If the wrong organization appears, return to Akabot Center and select the correct organization before making changes.

Step 2: Find your way around​

The top bar may also display a usage meter. Open it to view used, allowed, and remaining quota for the current period.

Language​

The application follows the locale supplied by Akabot Center and supports Vietnamese, English, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Change the language in the Akabot Center user settings when available, then return to or refresh the embedded application. If the host does not provide a supported locale, the application uses its configured fallback.

Step 3: Know what you're allowed to do​

The application hides or locks functions that the current account cannot use. Access is controlled in Akabot Center and enforced again by the backend, so what you see below explains why a menu item may be missing rather than something you need to configure yourself.

Typical user profiles​

Find your role below to understand what you can do and what permission your administrator needs to grant you.

When a menu item is missing​

Check the following before opening a support case:

  1. Confirm the correct organization is selected in Akabot Center.
  2. Refresh or reopen the application after a permission change.
  3. Confirm the feature is available and not degraded.
  4. Ask the administrator to verify the relevant resource and permission level.

Do not use a bookmarked deep link as a way to bypass a hidden menu. The backend will still deny unauthorized requests.
