What is Quant AI?

Quant AI is a comprehensive AI platform built into the Quant dashboard. It provides AI-powered search, configurable agents, custom tools, visual workflow automation, vector databases, and more — all accessible through the dashboard UI and a full REST API.

Key features

Section titled “Key features”
  • AI Search — Add AI-powered search and chat to your website with embeddable widgets
  • Agents — Create configurable AI assistants with custom behaviour, tools, and knowledge bases
  • Tools — Build callable functions backed by edge functions that agents can use
  • Skills — Create reusable instruction sets that enhance agent capabilities
  • Workflows — Design multi-step automations with a visual drag-and-drop editor
  • Vector Database — Store and search documents using semantic similarity
  • Slack Bots — Deploy AI agents directly into your Slack workspace
  • MCP Servers — Connect agents to remote Model Context Protocol servers through a governed gateway
  • Orchestrations — Manage durable, long-running batch processes
  • Tasks — Track and manage AI operations with a Kanban-style board
  • Governance — Guardrail presets, model policy, spend caps, and the audit trail
  • Filter Policies — Block or redact words, patterns, and sensitive data in AI conversations

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

Quant AI is composed of several interconnected components that work together to provide a flexible AI platform.

  • Models provide the core AI inference capabilities: chat completions and text embeddings. On QuantGov only Australian-resident models are available. Image generation is not available.
  • Tools extend what models can do by connecting them to external functions running on the edge
  • Agents combine a model, system prompt, tools, skills, and knowledge bases into a configurable assistant you can tailor to your use case
  • Workflows chain agents, tools, and logic together into multi-step automations using a visual editor
  • Vector Database provides semantic search capabilities for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), allowing agents to draw on your own documents and data

Getting started

Section titled “Getting started”

Navigate to the AI Services section in the dashboard sidebar. All AI features are accessible under the AI section of the dashboard, organised by component.

API access

Section titled “API access”

Quant AI features are available programmatically via the v3 REST API on the dashboard host. The base URL for AI endpoints is:

https://dashboard.quantcdn.io/api/v3/organizations/{org}/ai     # QuantCDN
https://dash.quantgov.cloud/api/v3/organizations/{org}/ai       # QuantGov

Replace {org} with your organisation machine name. Workflows are built in the dashboard and have no REST endpoints.

See the API Reference for full endpoint documentation.

Permissions

Section titled “Permissions”

Access to AI features is controlled by two permissions:

Permission Description
manage_ai_tools Create, update, and delete AI tools
manage_ai_agents Create, update, and delete AI agents, skills, workflows, and vector databases

Both permissions are restricted to Organisation Owner and Organisation Admin roles. See Team management for details on assigning roles.
