Frequently Asked Questions
General
What is Appilot?
Appilot is the platform that adds intelligence to any web app. Under your control, its AI does two things for you: it helps you operate the app (step-by-step guidance grounded in your organization's knowledge and the live screen), and it acts on your behalf when you ask. Think of it as a colleague who knows how your tools work and can either walk you through a task or do it for you.
Does it work on any website?
Yes, the Chrome Extension works on any website you visit. The AI's ability to provide useful answers depends on whether your organization has configured knowledge for that specific site or domain.
Do I need to pay?
Appilot offers both free and paid plans. Your access level depends on your organization's subscription. Visit appilot.com for pricing details.
Using the assistant
Why doesn't the assistant know the answer to my question?
The assistant's answers come from your organization's knowledge base. If a topic hasn't been documented yet, the assistant won't have an answer. You can create a knowledge request to flag the gap.
Can I use Appilot in multiple languages?
Yes. Appilot supports English, Spanish, and German. You can change the language in the extension settings. The assistant can also respond in the language you write in.
Does Appilot work offline?
No. Appilot requires an internet connection to process questions and retrieve knowledge.
Privacy
Does Appilot read my passwords?
No. Appilot never captures password fields or credentials.
Can my employer see my questions?
Your individual chat content is private. Admins can see aggregated analytics (like which pages generate the most questions) but not your specific conversations.
Can I turn off data collection?
Yes. You can control activity tracking and PII masking in the extension settings. See Privacy & Security for details.
