Maestro Assistant is the conversational interface that surfaces Maestro agents to data consumers. Maestro Assistant was previously known as Collibra AI Copilot.
Maestro Assistant is itself the primary Collibra-managed Maestro agent. It is also where data consumers call the custom Maestro agents that your organization creates in Maestro Studio or with Maestro Builder.
Calling a Maestro agent
Data consumers can start a conversation with a custom Maestro agent in the following ways:
- Type the agent's handle, such as @finrep, in a chat message. The handle works similarly to tagging a colleague in a chat window.
- Select the agent from the drop-down list.
A custom Maestro agent must have the Published status before data consumers can interact with it. Agent owners can also converse with the agent while it is in the Pending Review or Draft status.
Creating and editing agents with Maestro Builder
Maestro admins can select Maestro Builder, a Collibra-managed system agent, from the Ask an Agent drop-down list to create custom Maestro agents by describing them in a conversation, or to edit existing agents. For more information, go to About Maestro agents and Create a custom Maestro agent using Maestro Builder and Edit a custom Maestro agent using Maestro Builder.
File uploads
Data consumers can attach files to their chats in Maestro Assistant. This feature is off by default. Maestro admins turn it on with the File uploads in Maestro Assistant toggle. For more information, go to Enable file uploads in Maestro Assistant.
The following limits apply:
- Up to 5 files per chat.
- Up to 1 MB per file.
- Supported file types: .txt, .csv, .tsv, .md, and .json.
Attached files appear in the chat history and are kept for 1 year, the same as chat threads. For how to attach a file, go to Attach files to a chat.
Approving actions
If a custom Maestro agent has action tools, the agent asks for your approval before it creates or edits content. The agent presents a summary of what it intends to do and waits for you to approve or reject the action.
Required permissions
To use Maestro Assistant as a data consumer, you need a global role with the Maestro Assistant global permission. Users with the Sysadmin global role have this permission enabled by default.
To use Maestro Builder, you also need the Maestro agents → Manage your agents or Maestro agents → Manage all agents global permission.
To start a chat, go to Using Maestro Assistant.
