AI Assistant & Comprehension
Use AI-powered tools to understand governance content, verify comprehension with sessions and cards, and see how AI credits and the AI & Agents module fit together.
AI-Powered Governance
Governance documents are often dense and hard to parse. Dictiva's AI assistant helps your team understand what statements actually mean, verifies comprehension through interactive sessions, and surfaces insights that would take hours to find manually.
Two modules are involved. AI assistance and agent guidance belong to the AI & Agents module; verification sessions and comprehension cards belong to the Acknowledgements module. Both are off by default and an Owner or Admin turns them on in Settings > Modules.
Comprehension Points
When you view a governance statement, the AI assistant can decompose it into comprehension points: the key concepts someone needs to understand to comply with the statement.
For example, the statement "All production changes must follow the change management process and be approved by the CAB" might produce:
- What constitutes a "production change"
- What the change management process requires
- Who sits on the CAB and how approval works
- What to do in emergency situations
Comprehension points turn abstract policy language into concrete, actionable understanding.
Verification Sessions
To test whether someone has truly understood a statement or policy:
- Select a statement or assembly
- Click Start Verification Session
- The AI generates questions based on comprehension points
- The participant answers each question
- Responses are scored and recorded
Scoring
Each response is evaluated on:
| Score | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Correct | Demonstrates clear understanding of the concept |
| Partial | Shows some understanding but misses key elements |
| Incorrect | Does not demonstrate understanding |
Session results are stored and can be reviewed later for training and audit purposes.
Comprehension Cards
For self-paced learning, Dictiva offers comprehension cards: flashcard-style prompts that help users internalize governance concepts. Each card presents a comprehension point and asks the user to explain it in their own words before revealing the expected answer.
Cards are useful for:
- Onboarding new team members who need to learn existing policies
- Refresher training before audit season
- Continuous learning as governance programs evolve
AI Credits
AI features run on Dictiva-managed models and are metered in AI credits. Every plan includes a monthly allowance (see Billing & Plans); completing getting-started tasks earns extra credits, and credit packs can be purchased from Settings > Billing. You do not need to bring your own provider key.
Privacy and Data Handling
- Statement text is sent to the model provider for comprehension analysis
- No data is used for model training
- Every AI action is recorded in the agent audit log with its prompt, response, tokens and tool calls
- AI features can be kept off by leaving the AI & Agents module turned off
Next Steps
- Review your statements with AI-powered comprehension points
- Set up acknowledgments paired with comprehension verification
- Use the task inbox to track AI-suggested improvements
