--- title: "Assist Interface" description: "A close look at the Edge Assist widget: instant search and streamed, cited AI answers in one interface — annotated, component by component." url: https://edge.network/assist/interface/ --- # Assist Interface [Assist](https://edge.network/assist) Interface # One widget. Every answer. Assist is one interface with two modes: instant search as visitors type, and a conversation the moment they ask. Here's the whole thing, component by component — then press ⌘K and try the real one. ## The Search View What visitors see first: results before they finish typing, and a standing offer to turn the query into a question. 1 storage pricing 2 Ask: "storage pricing" 3 Storage Pricing /storage/pricing Edge Storage — S3-compatible object storage /storage Platform Pricing /pricing 4 Powered by Edge Assist esc 1 ### One box, two jobs Search and ask share a single input. It opens from the launcher, a search icon, or ⌘K — and it replaces your site search outright. 2 ### One keypress from search to answer The top row always offers the question form of what was typed. Hit return and the same words become a grounded AI answer instead of a list of links. 3 ### Instant results, free forever Full-text results over your ingested content appear as visitors type — no AI call, no charge, unlimited. Snippets and titles come straight from your pages. 4 ### Your brand, if you want Any paid usage removes the badge; white-label goes further with your own assistant name and icon everywhere visitors see it. ## The Conversation View One return-key later. Streamed answers grounded in your content, cited as they're made — with a human one click away. 1 ### Conversation memory Follow-ups like "how fast?" resolve against the thread so far. Each surface keeps its own session, and visitors can reopen recent conversations or start fresh. 2 ### Grounded, streamed answers Answers stream token by token over SSE and are composed only from your ingested content and pinned facts — no invented prices, no off-site tangents. 3 ### Citations built in Claims link inline to the pages they came from, with source chips underneath. Visitors verify in one click — and you see which pages carry your answers. 4 ### Suggested questions Configurable prompts (or pre-warmed likely questions) give visitors somewhere to start. Cached answers return instantly. 5 ### Human handoff When Assist can't answer — or a visitor wants a person — they leave an email and the whole transcript lands in your inbox. Answers and leads from one widget. 1 Ask a follow-up… New conversation How much does storage cost? 2 Storage is $0.015 per GB per month on all-NVMe hardware, and the first 5 GB are free. There are no egress or per-request fees at any volume — see storage pricing for worked examples. Storage Pricing Platform Pricing 3 4 How does it compare to S3? Is there an API? 5 Powered by Edge Assist Need a human? Leave your email ## And Everything Around It The panel is half the story — the other half is how invisibly it fits into your site. ### Expanded mode On desktop the panel expands to full screen with a citations rail: every source from the conversation, plus your "Keep exploring" links. ### Made for mobile Below tablet width the panel fills the viewport — a native-feeling assistant, not a floating card. A hosted page covers apps and link-outs. ### Matches your site Accent colour, launcher position and copy, welcome message, and placeholder are all yours. Styles are isolated in a shadow root — your CSS never leaks in, ours never leaks out. ### One line of code A single script tag, a few kilobytes of dependency-free JavaScript, loaded lazily. No framework, no iframe jank, no impact on your page speed. ## Don't take the mockup's word for it Everything on this page is live on this site right now — the search icon above and the launcher in the corner are the exact widget you'd ship. Press ⌘K and ask it something hard. [See the full demo](https://edge.network/assist/demo) [Add it to your site](https://edge.network/account)
