Assist is a platform where teams can build, host, and deploy internal AI software and agents in one place — giving companies a safe, controlled environment to standardize workflows and improve operations.

What are sandcastles?

Sandcastles are purpose-built internal apps created by non-technical teams on the Assist platform. They allow employees to build custom tools and workflows without engineering resources.

How much does Assist cost?

Assist uses pay-as-you-go pricing: provider costs + 5%, $0.17 per 1k tool calls, with no seat fees. Enterprise custom pricing is also available.

Do we need engineers to use Assist?

No. Assist is designed for non-technical teams to build and deploy AI tools. Engineers can use it too, but it doesn't require engineering resources to get started.

Importing a Team AI Workflow Skill

This guide walks through importing an Agent Skill from a supported source so your team can review, rename, and adapt it before using it in Assist.

Import is useful when a workflow already exists outside Assist: a repository, a shared prompt pack, or a skill someone found in a marketplace. Imported skills are drafts, so they can be cleaned up before approval.

Before you begin

You need the source URL or command for the skill.
The source must contain a SKILL.md file.
The imported files must fit within the skill file and size limits.
Imported skills are drafts. Review them before approval and rollout.

Steps

1. Open Skills

Open Skills from the main navigation.

2. Start creating a skill

Click Create Skill.

3. Switch to Import

Select the Import tab. Assist shows an import form and explains that imported skills are installed as drafts.

Import Agent Skill dialog

4. Paste the source

Paste one of the supported source formats into Source:

A Skills Marketplace URL.
A GitHub repository URL.
A GitHub folder URL.
An owner/repo shorthand.
A skills add owner/repo command.

Assist loads the repository tree, finds the skill directory, and imports supported text files.

5. Rename for your company

Use Name override or Slug override when the imported name is too generic or too technical. Choose a name that maps to the workflow your team wants to standardize.

For example, rename "Prompt Library Cleanup" to "Team AI Usage Cleanup" if the skill will help a mid-sized company collect and review scattered prompts before moving them into Assist.

6. Choose the scope

Select Workspace for shared workflows. Select Personal if you are evaluating the imported workflow before proposing it to the team.

7. Import the workflow

Click Import. Assist creates a draft Agent Skill and opens the detail page.

8. Review every file

Open Files and inspect SKILL.md plus supporting files. Check for:

References to tools or systems your workspace does not use.
Customer data handling rules that do not match your policies.
Missing review steps for customer-facing or sensitive work.
Instructions that assume the agent can take actions it cannot actually take.
Prompt examples that include private customer, employee, or company data.

9. Submit for approval

When the draft matches your operating model, submit it for review. Imported skills should not be attached to live agents until a workflow owner or admin approves them.
