Enable / Disable Nitro AI Tools
Admin Portal
Nitro provides several AI tools to help users complete common document tasks faster. These tasks include extracting data from tables and asking questions about document content.
As an admin, you control access to these tools. You can enable or disable them at any time in the Nitro Admin Portal. Your changes apply immediately to all users in your Nitro Team account.
There are three categories of Nitro AI tools:
- Smart Tools: Tools that apply AI models to intelligently process and automate document workflows, including table extraction and data extraction – no content is generated.
- Generative AI Tools: Tools that enable you to ask questions, summarize, and interact with document content. These tools are powered by Azure Open AI and hosted in a secure environment controlled by Nitro.
- Knowledge Assistant: Nitro’s AI chat tool that provides answers to questions about how to use Nitro products.
Nitro designs AI tools to be efficient, secure, and ethical. Nitro does not use customer data to train AI models or share customer data with third parties. AI models process data only for the tasks you request. For full details, please see Nitro’s AI policy.
