Information noteIf you open Qlik Answers with an application open, and that application is available for Qlik Answers open, Qlik Answers automatically starts a chat using that application as the source.

You may also have access to legacy assistants. Legacy assistants are assistants created for the initial version of Qlik Answers and offer a different non-agentic chat experience. You can find them in the catalog and chat with each assistant directly. For information on using legacy assistants, see: [Answering questions with legacy assistants](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/QlikAnswers/Legacy/using-assistants-legacy.htm).

## Qlik Help

Qlik Help answers your questions about Qlik Cloud, based on the Qlik Cloud documentation. Qlik Help questions are free and are not counted toward usage consumption limits.

It is the default agent when you open Answers outside of an application in an activity center.

Qlik Help is context sensitive; it filters the help content based on what activity center you are in. For best results, if you want to ask a question about Analytics for example, you need to go to the Analytics activity center. If the answer is not what you need, you can click Ask again without previous context at the end of the answer, to make Qlik Answers run the question again without using the previous context.

It includes links to relevant help topics at the end of the answer. When you click one of the links, the help topic appears in the chat. You can also click Go to topic to open Qlik Cloud documentation outside of the chat in a new tab in your browser.

Requirements: User must have a role with the permission Qlik product help set to Allowed.
