New: The AI Content Assistant uses rich context to help you generate content directly in Ashby

The new AI Content Assistant is now available to all customers. Use the AI Content Assistant to create content for your job descriptions, email templates, one-off candidate emails, and sequences in Ashby.

The assistant appears right in your Rich Text Editors and understands the context in Ashby like substitution tokens, candidate information, and job details. You’ll also have the ability to refine inline for quick edits using various shortcuts to help adjust existing content.

How it works

Click the "Write with AI" button in your Rich Text Editors where the content assistant appears. Give it a prompt and you can generate content to help you write directly in Ashby.

This workflow becomes really powerful because the assistant can fully use context across Ashby. The content assistant will know things like:

• How to generate substitution tokens
• Data from Interview transcripts created by our new AI Notetaker feature
• Specific candidate context like notes, feedback, interviews
• Existing job postings to help you write new ones

Let’s take a look at some common examples.

Creating job postings

Open the assistant from a job description text editor.

Use the built in shortcut to create a new job description based on previous job descriptions.

From here you can regenerate the output by continuing to prompt the assistant. When you're ready it's one click to insert the content in your editor.

You can also specify a job description like “Backend developer” if you want to narrow in the context for the assistant.

Email templates with substitution tokens

The assistant also recognizes Ashby substitution tokens.

When writing email templates you can tell it to "write email copy using the AI generated feedback token that gives the candidate constructive coaching" and it generates the template with tokens intact.

Candidate communications

From the candidate profile, draft one-off emails that reference context like notes and feedback.

Look for the "Write with AI" button in editors on:

• Job descriptions
• Email templates
• Sequence emails
• Candidate emails

You’ll also have the ability to use inline “Refine” anywhere there is a Rich Text Editor in Ashby.

We know many customers have started using external writing assistants so we wanted to bring that workflow over to make sure it’s streamlined and leverages the data and context living in Ashby.
