Assistant troubleshooting
Fixes for the Assistant being off, credits running out, diagrams it does not read, proposals that do not apply and files it refuses.
On this page
The Assistant is off or unavailable
“AI is off in this workspace. These tools run in your browser and send nothing.”
Why it happens. In a Team or Enterprise organisation, the Assistant stays off until an owner accepts the AI addendum, and an owner of a workspace can turn it off there.
Fix it. Ask an owner of the organisation to turn it on: see Turn on the Assistant for your organisation. Until then, instant tools still answer: describe a view, run the checks, ask what depends on an element.
“Verify your e-mail address to use the assistant.”
Fix it. Open the e-mail iyedy sent you and enter the 6-digit code, or select Verify e-mail in the message to get a new one. See Sign-in problems.
“The assistant needs a seat in this workspace.”
Fix it. Your account has no seat in this organisation. Ask an owner or a billing admin to assign you one: see Manage seats.
“The subscription has lapsed: the assistant is paused until it is renewed.”
Fix it. Renew the subscription, or ask the person who pays for it. Your diagrams stay readable meanwhile. See Plans and billing troubleshooting.
Credits
“Not enough AI credits for this call.”
Why it happens. The request needs more credits than you have left. The message gives both figures.
Fix it. Narrow the request to a selection or to this view; use an instant tool; or select Buy 500 credits or Upgrade when the message offers them. In an organisation, an owner can add credits. See How the Assistant uses credits.
A run stopped because the credits ran out
What the run found so far is kept: apply what it staged, or read its findings. Add credits, then ask for the rest.
“The free assistant capacity is used up for today.”
The capacity shared by Free accounts is used up for the day. Try again later, or move to a paid plan: see Change your plan.
What the Assistant reads
“This diagram is classified Confidential: the assistant does not read it.”
Why it happens. The diagram is above the classification ceiling: Internal on Enterprise, for example. A Restricted diagram is never read.
Fix it. If the classification is wrong, its owner lowers it; otherwise use instant tools, which send nothing. See What the Assistant reads.
The conversation is locked and the box disabled
Something the conversation read is now above the ceiling. Select Clear or Delete now under the conversation to unlock it. See Conversations and retention.
The answer ignores part of the diagram
A question reads the selection and one step around it. Clear the selection, or say in the whole diagram. To ask about other diagrams, ask a research question that names your library.
Proposals
I asked a question and got a proposal
Nothing is applied. Select Discard, then ask again starting with Explain or What. A fix is coming: see Ask questions about a diagram.
I cannot see the Apply button on a long proposal
Scroll to the end of the proposal card, or press Ctrl Enter while the proposal has the focus: it applies the proposal.
The proposal left out a removal or a security setting
The Assistant only changes what your words ask for. Select the button on that line (Remove it too, Edit it too), or ask again and say it explicitly: remove the legacy batch job. See Ask, review, apply.
“The diagram changed since, so this can't be undone here.”
Use Before / after in the diagram's history to restore the version before the Apply. See Save and restore versions.
“Nothing was staged”
The change could not be prepared in a form the diagram accepts. Say what to add in other words, or ask for fewer changes at a time.
Images and PDFs
“This image could not be read.”
Use a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP file. An SVG is refused. See Bring images and PDFs.
The PDF is refused
A scan without text, an encrypted PDF, a PDF that holds a password or key, or one too complex to check for secrets is refused. Paste the text of the brief instead.
“Choose the image or the PDF again to continue: iyedy never keeps it.”
The request paused and iyedy did not keep your file. Choose the same file again.
Still stuck
None of these fixes it
