Ask Doc: Get Help Faster with AI-Powered Support

Ask Doc is HomeSource's AI help feature. It gives you three ways to get support in one place: self-service articles, AI-powered answers, and live agent chat — all without leaving your work.

What is Doc?

  • Doc is an AI-powered assistant available 24/7

  • It answers questions, provides information, and resolves common issues using the HomeSource knowledge base and support content

  • It can connect you with a live support representative when needed

Where to Find Ask Doc

  • In your HomeSource tenant: Click the Ask Doc icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen

  • In the Help Center: Click the speech bubble icon on your HomeSource home page

  • Tip: Bookmark the Help Center so you can reach support even outside normal business hours

How to Use Ask Doc

The Ask Doc home screen has two main options: Ask a Question and Search for Help.

Search for Help

  • Takes you to the Help Center home screen

  • Use the search bar at the top of the screen to look up a topic (e.g., searching "quote" surfaces all related articles)

  • Click a result to open step-by-step instructions

  • Also accessible via the help icon at the bottom of the screen

Ask a Question (Text)

  • Click Ask a Question

  • Type your question into the message box (e.g., "How do I add related items to my order?")

  • Press Enter

  • Doc responds with instructions

  • Click the numbered link in Doc's response to open the full Help Center article, which may include an instructional video and additional steps

Ask a Question (Voice)

  • Click the microphone icon in the message box

  • Speak your question (e.g., "How do I convert a quote to an order?")

  • Click the stop button when finished

  • Press Enter to submit

  • Doc returns the relevant instructions

Connecting with a Live Support Team Member

If Doc or the Help Center can't fully answer your question:

  • Type a request such as "I would like to chat with a team member"

  • Press Enter

  • Doc will confirm it's connecting you and ask for more detail about your issue so the team can help efficiently

  • Your question is passed along to the support team, who will follow up shortly

Attaching Files

  • Click the paperclip icon to attach a screenshot or other supporting document to your request

  • When your message becomes a support ticket, you'll receive an email confirming the issue

Messages and Notifications

  • All conversations with Doc or support team members are saved under Messages

  • Unread messages show as a number badge on the Messages icon

  • Doc may periodically ask you to rate its answers or check if you need further help — this feedback helps improve accuracy over time

Summary

Ask Doc brings help articles, AI-powered answers, and live agent support into one place, so you can troubleshoot issues or find guidance without interrupting your workflow.
