# Using the AI Connector

**Time to complete:** 5–10 minutes
**Prerequisites:** An AI client connected to the [Conveyor AI Connector](ai-connector) — see [Connecting Your AI Client](connecting-your-ai-client).

***

## Overview

The AI Connector is at its best when your assistant combines several tools in one conversation. This page collects copy-paste prompts for the most common jobs — answering security questions, staying on top of questionnaires, keeping knowledge current, running your Trust Center, and reporting on your program.

Prompts marked ⚠️ change data in Conveyor — review the assistant's confirmation before it applies.

***

## Writing Effective Prompts

The AI Connector finds things by the words you give it. Five habits separate a clean result from a wrong guess:

* **Name things specifically.** Your assistant looks up documents, customers, and questionnaires by name — there are no ID numbers to memorize. "Our SOC 2 Type II report" lands one clean match; "the report" makes it guess or ask.
* **A clarifying question is a feature.** If two records share a name, the assistant asks which you mean — that's it keeping you from editing the wrong one. Answer it, don't fight it.
* **Give analytics a time window.** "Last quarter," "since the start of the month," "the past 30 days." Leave it out and you get everything.
* **One change per prompt.** For anything that grants access, changes a status, or deletes — keep it single and explicit so you can confirm before it happens.
* **For read-only questions, go broad.** "Summarize Trust Center engagement this month and flag anything odd" is fine — let the assistant pull and synthesize.

***

## Answer Security Questions

> *"Do you encrypt data at rest?"*

Answers pull only from the Knowledge Base and documents you've approved, so anyone can self-serve without waiting on the trust team — and every answer traces back to a source you signed off on.

***

## Stay on Top of Questionnaires

**See what's waiting on you**

> *"Which questionnaires are waiting on my review? Sort them by due date."*

**Run a weekly check-in**

> *"Show me all questionnaires that are due in the next 7 days, grouped by status. Flag any that are still in 'started' and haven't moved to review yet."*

**Spot emerging question trends**

> *"Find every questionnaire question we've received about AI or data training, grouped by theme."*

Use a search like this to build out a Knowledge Base section before a topic becomes a common blocker.

***

## Keep Your Knowledge Current

**Find stale or unreviewed Q\&As**

> *"Find the curated Q\&As marked unverified so I can review them."*

**Audit a topic**

> *"Show me every Knowledge Base entry related to encryption, grouped by relevance. Flag gaps and any unverified entries."*

**Find Knowledge Base gaps**

> *"Which recent questions couldn't ConveyorAI answer confidently? Group them by topic — include questions from the Trust Center Agent, questionnaires, and one-off asks."*

**Add a curated Q\&A** ⚠️

> *"Add a curated Q\&A to the Knowledge Base. Question: 'Do you support SSO?' Answer: 'Yes — we support SAML 2.0 SSO on all plans.'"*

**Push a fact change through the library** ⚠️

> *"We've migrated our infrastructure from AWS us-east-1 to us-east-2. Find every Q\&A that references us-east-1 and propose updated wording for each — I'll review before anything changes."*

***

## Run Your Trust Center

**Approve access in bulk** ⚠️

> *"Find all pending access requests from @stripe.com email addresses, approve them, and add them to the Enterprise access group."*

Routine Trust Center administration — approving access requests, managing invitations, updating documents — works through the same conversation. Keep changes like this single and explicit so you can confirm each one.

***

## Report on Your Program

**Spot your most engaged customers**

> *"Pull this month's Trust Center interactions and cross-reference with our connections list. Who are our top 5 most engaged customers, and what are they downloading?"*

**Find customers going cold**

> *"Which customer connections have had no Trust Center activity in the last 60 days?"*

**Trace a commitment you made**

> *"Search our past answers: which customers did we tell that we support on-premises deployment?"*

When something changes, a search like this shows you the blast radius before customers find it for you.

**See who's asking what**

> *"Pull the access logs for the past 30 days. What has the sales team been asking, and when?"*

***

## When to Use the Conveyor App Instead

A few jobs are better done in the Conveyor app — reach for these through your assistant and you'll fight the tool:

* **Bulk imports** — hundreds of Q\&As or documents at once. The AI Connector writes one record at a time; use the in-app import built for batches.
* **Large file uploads** — big reports or anything near the 100MB limit. Upload them in the app, not through chat.
* **Anything you can't easily undo** — deletes and access revokes. Do them one at a time, and confirm before you commit.

***

## Common Questions

**Q: Are answers ever made up?**
A: Answers are grounded in the Knowledge Base and documents you've approved inside Conveyor — the same source your trust team already maintains. If the knowledge isn't there, the assistant can't invent an approved answer for it.

**Q: What happens when a prompt changes data?**
A: The assistant confirms what it's about to do before it applies. Keep write prompts single and explicit — one change per prompt — so the confirmation is easy to check.
