How do I open MIA?
Click the MB AI button in the top bar, or use the ⌘J shortcut (Ctrl+J on Windows). The chat panel opens over the current screen, without losing what you're doing. To start from scratch, use New conversation.
What does "it knows the view" mean?
MIA receives the context of the screen you're on. If you open it on a dashboard, it already knows which dashboard it is; on a CRM deal, it knows which deal you're talking about. You can ask directly —"what changed this week?"— without describing where you're standing.
How do I know which view it's seeing —and how do I stop sharing it?
Right above the message box you'll see the chip Viewing: {screen}: while it's there, the agent is reading that screen. Click its ✕ (Stop sharing the view) and it stops: from that point on, the conversation goes on with no screen context. To share it again, use the small eye button in the input row (Share your current view) —it lights up when the view is being shared and goes dim when it isn't.
The chip and the eye only show up with agents that have the on-screen context enabled —MIA does—. If you don't see them, that agent works without reading your current screen; you set that up in the agent's Context tab, in Create and configure your own AI agent.
What can I ask it?
- Read and summarize what you have on screen: metrics, trends, what stands out.
- Explain a concept or a piece of data you don't understand.
- Propose actions — for example, creating a task or preparing a draft. MIA proposes the action and waits for your confirmation before running it; nothing happens without your approval.
- Plan content — describe your next campaign and MIA builds a plan of 4 to 30 posts, with dates, channels, format and final copy per network. You download it as a CSV to get it approved, or create it in the Planner as drafts. See Plan a month of content by chatting with MIA.
Can I talk to it by voice?
Yes, in two ways, and they're different things. For a spoken conversation (MIA Voice) —you speak and MIA answers you out loud— leave the message box empty and click the sound wave button on the right of the input: its tooltip reads Voice mode. To come back to the written chat, use Back to chat at the top of the voice view.
- The sound wave button appears only with agents that have voice —MIA does—; on the rest, that spot is always the send button.
- As soon as you type text or attach a file, that same spot turns into the send button. Clear the box and the sound wave comes back.
- The spoken conversation consumes Voice Credits, separate from the text ones. If you've run out, the button stays disabled and tells you so —see See your AI usage and control your credits.
The microphone button —next to it— is something else: it dictates your message, turning what you say into text in the box so you can review it and send it as a normal chat message. Dictation doesn't spend voice credits. The first time you use either one, the browser will ask you for microphone permission.
Still have questions?
Ask MIA, the MB Suite AI assistant: open it with the MB AI button (⌘J) in the top bar. MIA knows the section you're in, so you can ask it about what you see on screen — and it can also answer how-to questions about using MB Suite.
