Evie Overview
Evie is an AI-powered chatbot agent built on three core pillars:
A third-party large language model (LLM).
Data and settings specific to the Envision platform
Best practices in technical documentation.
To leverage Evie's power, you should start one or more chats with Evie, where you enter prompts and, if needed, attach additional materials. Evie analyzes your input using its core pillars and generates responses or performs actions directly in your document. If your request is unclear, Evie may rely on general LLM knowledge or ask for clarification. You are encouraged to experiment with prompt wording to achieve the best results. You can also create a private knowledge base to provide Evie with custom context tailored to your work.

External content support
Evie can elevate the creation of work instructions by automatically analyzing and extracting technical content from external sources, including:
Videos: generate step-by-step instructions with segmented clips and text descriptions.
PDF: recreate documents fully or partially and convert them into modern, structured work instructions.
Images: produce accurate textual descriptions and technical explanations.
Advanced features
Evie also offers advanced capabilities to enhance productivity:
Voice input: issue commands naturally by speaking.
Multilingual support: work across multiple languages.
Context awareness: maintain conversation context across multiple interactions.
LLM selection and cost control
The LLM used by Evie is chosen by your organization. One or more industrial-grade LLMs can be allowed. You can configure Evie to work with the specific allowed model that best fits your needs.
Because LLMs generate responses using tokens (credits), usage directly affects cost. Monitoring and controlling token consumption helps keep your AI usage efficient and cost-effective.
