# Turn AI Agent On/Off

### Configure AI Agent for New Listings <a href="#configure-ai-agent-for-new-listings" id="configure-ai-agent-for-new-listings"></a>

New listings are automatically imported from your PMS. In the AI Agent Settings, you can decide whether AI should be activated by default whenever a new listing is added.

Available settings:

* Turn on AI Agent automatically — ✅ Recommended for instant AI coverage on all new listings.
* Leave AI Agent off by default — Requires manual activation for each new listing.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Recommendation: Enable automatic activation to ensure your guests receive immediate AI support for every new listing.**
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.guestreply.ai/readme/user-manual/ai-agent/turn-ai-agent-on-off.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
