AI assistants can be used in Survey123 to do the following:
- use a conversation to help you design a survey in the web designer
- extract information from images in the web app
- translate survey designs in the web designer or in Connect
Survey123 assistants leverage large language model (LLM) and machine learning technologies. Specifically, Microsoft Azure OpenAI service is used for the Survey123 assistant and Microsoft Azure AI Translator Service for the translation assistant. Survey123 assistants follow the data security and privacy guidelines of ArcGIS Online.
These capabilities are disabled by default and only enabled when an organization administrator has opted in. To enable these features, organization administrators need to:

- Go to the Survey123 website, open the Organization -> Settings tab, and under the Extensions section turn on the Survey123 assistant and Translation assistant.

Similar but different, are smart assistants in the field app. Configured for image questions, smart assistants can perform image classification, object detection, and object redaction. These capabilities rely on machine learning models that are located on the device and do not use online generative AI services. For more information see Smart assistants.
