One-time setup: provider and key
Feature access: The AI Assistant is typically available on Pro Business (or higher) plans. It may be toggleable in Settings → Labs for early access. If you don't see the AI Assistant or the page shows a gate message, check Labs and your plan.
AI provider: You must configure an AI provider (e.g. OpenAI) in Settings → AI (or "AI Assistant" settings) and activate it. Add your API key or connection details; save. Until a provider is active, the AI Assistant page shows a message and a link to Go to AI Assistant Settings (#/settings/ai).
Settings → AI: In the AI settings screen you can: choose or add a provider, set API key, enable/disable the assistant, and possibly adjust model or behavior (e.g. temperature). Details depend on your FleekDash version.
Labs: If the assistant is behind a Labs flag, go to Settings → Labs and enable the AI Assistant (or equivalent) option. Then the sidebar item and page become available.
One-time setup (provider + key); then the assistant is available wherever you work.

In practice
AI Assistant — feature access, AI provider, Settings → AI, Labs. On this page, One-time setup: provider and key is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. Because one-time setup: provider and key is part of AI Assistant — drafting posts, suggesting titles and replies, and answering questions about your site without leaving wp-admin — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
