Availability and scope

The MapToPlay Assistant button is visible to signed-in members on every tier. Plus teams can ask 5 questions per day, Pro teams 10, and Ultra teams 20. The limit is shared by the whole team and resets each day. Basic has no Assistant questions: the button still opens, explains that the feature is unavailable on Basic, and links to the plan comparison.

The assistant answers only MapToPlay questions. Unrelated questions receive a short refusal. It has no general web search and cannot change projects, start exports, spend task units, edit account settings, or perform other platform actions.

Choose whether to enable it

Until you make a choice, the robot button pulses to draw attention to the privacy notice. The first time you open the Assistant, read the short notice and follow Read the Privacy Policy for full details. Select Agree and continue to enable questions, or Decline to keep the Assistant disabled. Either choice stops the pulse.

MapToPlay remembers your choice and when it was made so that it stays consistent across sessions and devices. If you declined, reopen the Assistant and select Agree and continue when you want to change the choice. If you accepted, select Disable AI Assistant below the question box to withdraw that choice. MapToPlay may ask you to choose again after a material privacy notice change.

The privacy decision is separate from plan access. A Basic member can make the decision, but the team still needs Plus, Pro, or Ultra before it can send a question.

Open the assistant

In the Web UI, first select the team you want to ask about. In the dashboard header, select the robot button labeled Open MapToPlay Assistant. The assistant opens as a full-height panel on the right and keeps the dashboard behind it inactive until you close the panel, select the shaded page, or press Escape. It uses the current page name and location, so you can ask where a control is on the page you are viewing.

In the Editor, select the robot button in the top header near the connection controls. The Assistant uses the current team, project, and Editor area to keep its guidance relevant. It does not send scene contents, coordinates, selections, layers, or placements.

Ask a supported question

Ask for exact MapToPlay steps, button locations, or setting explanations. You can also ask for current read-only facts such as the selected team tier and usage, task units and their replenishment times, projects and their game, status, or attributable storage, a project summary, or recent export statuses.

Press Enter or select Send question to submit. Your question appears in the conversation immediately, followed by an animated Thinking status while the answer is prepared. Select Stop answer to cancel the request; if a request fails or is stopped, the question returns to the input so you can edit or retry it.

In a project-linked conversation, game-specific instructions and sources are restricted to the project's current game. Name another game in the question when you intentionally want a comparison; the answer must keep each game's workflow separate. If the saved project game is unavailable, the assistant uses only game-neutral documentation instead of guessing.

Answers preserve readable Markdown formatting such as headings, lists, emphasis, links, and code. Documentation answers also show links to the current public source articles, while live account or project answers show an as-of time. If the current documentation or an authorized data tool does not support a claim, the assistant stops instead of guessing.

Every conversation shows the reminder that AI can make mistakes. Confirm important responses with the linked documentation, especially before deleting data, spending units, or changing a production workflow.

Question limits and conversation history

Assistant questions have a daily team limit shown above the conversation: Plus 5, Pro 10, and Ultra 20. Basic has no Assistant questions. The limit is separate from task units and cannot reduce map-processing capacity. The Assistant can also be temporarily unavailable during service interruptions.

A failed or stopped answer does not use one of the team questions. Edit the restored question and try again after the service becomes available.

Select History beside the daily question count to open your 20 most recent conversations. Each entry shows its first-question title, whether it came from the Web UI or Editor, its project or team-wide context, question count, and last update time. When the assistant opens, it restores only a conversation whose saved project context exactly matches the current project or team-wide page; if none exists, it opens an empty conversation. Select a History entry to intentionally restore that conversation and its saved context, then select Conversation to return without changing the selection.

Select New conversation to open an empty conversation without prior chat context. The previous conversation remains in History, and the new conversation is saved after you send its first question. Select Delete conversation and confirm to permanently remove that conversation and its messages. Active assistant conversations expire 30 days after their last successful answer. Closing the panel does not delete its history.

Data used for an answer

MapToPlay sends OpenAI the question, a short recent conversation history, limited interface context, relevant documentation excerpts, and only the minimum account or project facts needed for the answer. It does not automatically send project files, map contents, scene coordinates, selections, layers, placements, credentials, or provider keys.

Storage totals and comparisons use the same categories and units shown elsewhere in MapToPlay. Per-project comparisons include project assets, saved project versions, Editor tile data, and completed project-backup archives. Team-owned collections and model assets remain part of team storage but are not assigned to an individual project.

OpenAI states that data submitted through its API services is not used to train its models by default. MapToPlay does not use Assistant content to train AI models. Do not enter secrets, credentials, unnecessary personal information, or content you are not authorized to send. For provider links, the privacy choice, and retention details, read the Privacy Policy.
