What is the project, workspace, gateway?

Project is the billing unit.

Use one project for a company or brand.

Inside a project, you can have multiple workspaces and multiple gateways.

Workspace is the unit of agent configuration.

It contains the instructions, assets, actions, and deployment setup for one workflow.

Use one workspace for a team, function, or store.

A workspace can be deployed to multiple gateways.

Each gateway can deploy only one workspace.

Gateway is the deployment unit.

It defines which workspace runs on which managing point and in which mode, such as Auto-Pilot or Co-Pilot.

Messages from free accounts include an aissist.io footer.

Paid accounts can use both the base engine and the advanced engine with no usage limit.

Messages from paid accounts do not include Aissist branding.

How to upgrade to a paid account

Difference between base engine and advanced engine

The base engine costs $0.05 per AI interaction.

The advanced engine costs $0.09 per AI interaction.

The advanced engine handles emotional messages and more complex logic better.

Use the base engine for simpler workflows.

Use the advanced engine when the workflow is more nuanced or complex.

AI generates duplicated messages

This usually happens when more than one gateway manages the same inbox, tag, or conversation source.

Check whether:

  • multiple gateways point to the same managing point

  • multiple workspaces are deployed to overlapping traffic

  • the same user message appears in more than one inbox

What’s Aissist’s relationship with OpenAI?

Aissist uses a proprietary orchestration layer that can work with multiple LLM providers.

Most traffic currently uses OpenAI, but the platform is not limited to a single model provider.

AI use the wrong order number

This usually happens when multiple IDs appear in the same context, such as a ticket ID, user ID, and order ID.

To reduce ambiguity, standardize order IDs with a clear prefix.

For example:

  • AISSIST123456789

This makes the intended order ID easier to detect correctly.
