How do I connect my own AI assistant to my brain?

Your own assistant can read the same brain bernard reads. Then you never explain your business twice, whichever assistant you use.

The prompt

“Help me connect my AI assistant to my Bernard brain.”

Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).

Connect it

  1. Open Use your own AI in bernard.
  2. Find the Bernard Brain row: “What bernard knows about your business”. It appears once Bernard Brain is on for your account.
  3. Press Connect and approve the connection in your assistant.

If a connection does not work, see My assistant won’t connect to bernard.

What your assistant can then do

  • List your brains and open any of them, including your business brain.
  • Search for one fact and say which document it came from.
  • Suggest a change, showing you the before and after. Nothing is saved until you say yes.
  • Undo the last change made through bernard.

Disconnecting

Press Disconnect on the same row at any time.

We switch Bernard Brain on for your business when you email [email protected].

Questions people ask

I cannot see the Bernard Brain row.
It appears once we have switched Bernard Brain on for your account. If it is on and you still cannot see it, reload the page; if it is still missing, email [email protected].
Can my assistant change my brain?
It can suggest a change and show you the before and after. Nothing is saved until you say yes in that conversation.
Which assistants work?
Claude connects in one click. Other assistants that support custom connectors can use the same connection.
Can bernard change my brain or my site without asking?
No. bernard shows you the exact change first, and saves it only after you approve it. A change to your site is also a draft that waits for your approval before it goes live.
