# AI Assistant

Dastra's AI assistant allows you to generate and enrich elements in your workspace from simple text descriptions. It relies on generative AI models hosted on Azure, in France and within the European Economic Area, without any of your organization's data being used to train these models.

{% hint style="info" %}
The AI assistant is available on all Dastra workspaces. If you wish to disable it for your organization, please contact our [support team](https://doc.dastra.eu/en/commencer/support/request-support).
{% endhint %}

#### AI as a starting point, not a final answer

The AI assistant is designed to **accelerate your compliance work**, not to replace human expertise. All content generated by the assistant — whether a processing activity description, a privacy notice, or a compliance analysis — is a **proposal that requires review and validation** by a qualified person before any use.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In particular:

* **AI-generated content does not constitute legal advice.** It should not be relied upon as a substitute for the judgement of a data protection professional or legal counsel.
* **Compliance assessments are analytical aids.** Scores and recommendations produced by the AI are based solely on the information recorded in your workspace. They reflect the quality of that documentation, not an independent legal opinion.
* **You remain in control.** No AI output is applied or communicated automatically — every result requires a deliberate human action to be used.
  {% endhint %}

***

#### Data protection and confidentiality

Your organisation's data is never used to train AI models. The models used by Dastra are hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure in France, under contractual guarantees that exclude your data from any training, fine-tuning, or sharing with third parties. For full details, see [How does it work?](https://doc.dastra.eu/en/features/generalites/ai-assistant/how-does-it-work)

#### What the AI assistant can help with

The assistant is available across multiple areas of the platform:

* **Processing activities** — generate descriptions, datasets, security measures, privacy notices, and compliance analyses
* **AI systems** — generate descriptions, notices, and risk analyses
* **Questionnaires** — generate AI-assisted responses to PIAs and risk assessments
* **Rights requests** — draft responses in multiple languages and tones
* **Assets and actors** — generate structured entries from a URL or free-text description
* **Contracts** — extract metadata from uploaded documents
* **Custom documents and reports** — generate content from your own instructions

For step-by-step guidance on each feature, see [Use cases](https://doc.dastra.eu/en/features/generalites/ai-assistant/use-cases).

***

#### Beta features

Some AI features are released as **beta**, meaning they are functional but still being refined based on user feedback. Beta features are clearly labelled in the interface.

When using a beta feature:

* Results may be **less consistent** than in stable features and should be treated with additional caution
* The underlying prompts and criteria are **actively being improved** — outputs may evolve between versions
* Feedback is welcome and helps Dastra improve the feature — use the feedback option in the interface where available

{% hint style="info" %}
⚠️ Beta features should never be used as the sole basis for a compliance decision. They are intended to support, not replace, a thorough human review.
{% endhint %}

Currently in beta: **compliance analysis of processing activities** and **compliance analysis of AI systems**.
