# Help inside the app

The Help page gathers short product guides you can read without a connection, plus **Ask OmniGet**, an assistant that answers questions about the app. The guides cover the AI side of OmniGet (connections, agents, permissions, MCP, tasks) and downloading again after an error.

## Where it is

Click **Help** in the **Main** section of the sidebar. The page opens on **How can we help?** with three tabs: **Documentation**, **Ask OmniGet** and **Guided setup**.

## How to use it

### Read a guide

1.  Open **Help**. The **Documentation** tab lists the **Product guides**.
2.  Type in **Search guides** to filter them. Matches in the title and summary are highlighted.
3.  Click a guide. Each one has the same parts: **Before you start**, **Steps**, **Expected result** and **If something goes wrong**.
4.  Click **Open in OmniGet** at the end to jump to the screen the guide talks about.
5.  Click **Save guide** to keep it under **Favorites**. Guides you open also appear under **Recently opened**. **All topics** shows the full list again.

Note

The guides are written in English, Portuguese and Russian. In the other languages of the app they are shown in English, with the line **This guide is shown in English.**

### Ask OmniGet

The assistant uses an agent you already set up in **LLM**. Without one, the tab shows **Connect AI**, which opens the connections screen.

1.  Open the **Ask OmniGet** tab.
2.  In **Use connection from**, pick the agent whose connection should answer.
3.  Write in **Your question** and click **Ask assistant**. Click **Stop** to cancel an answer.
4.  Read the answer. Under it, **Sources consulted** links to the guides it used, and **Configured model** shows which connection and model answered.
5.  If the assistant wants to run an app action, a **Review tool request** box shows what it will do. Click **Allow once** or **Deny**.
6.  Click **Copy answer** to copy the text with its sources, or **New conversation** to start over.

When the assistant starts a download, a card shows it with its status and progress. The download goes into the same [queue](https://getomniget.com/docs/queue) as any other.

**Check connection** runs a quick check of the selected connection and shows the result. If the selected agent runs through its own runtime (a coding CLI instead of OmniGet’s own agent), the tab says so: it can chat, but app actions go through **Guided setup**.

Tip

Your question stays in the box if the connection fails, so you can try again without typing it.

### Create an agent from Help

At the bottom of **Ask OmniGet**, **Create an agent** copies the connection of the selected agent into a new one.

1.  Open **Create an agent**.
2.  Leave **Edit an existing agent** on **New agent**, or pick an agent to change.
3.  Type an **Agent name** and click **Review setup**.
4.  Check the **Before** and **After** lines, then click **Create this agent**.
5.  Click **Test connection (uses quota)** to send one real request, or **Open agents** to see it in the roster.

A new agent **Starts without tool permissions.** Editing an existing one keeps its permissions.

### Guided setup

The **Guided setup** tab links to the setup guides (quota monitor, fixing a connection, downloading again, connecting MCP tools, creating your first agent) and shows the connection wizard right below them.

## Common problems

### The assistant tab only shows Connect AI

No agent exists yet. Set up a connection in [LLM](https://getomniget.com/docs/llm), then come back. The guides in **Documentation** work without it.

### The answer never arrives

Click **Stop**, then **Check connection**. If the check fails, fix the connection in **LLM › Configure** first. The guide **Fix a connection** walks through it.
