Listening: Query Generation by AI Assist FAQs
Table of Contents
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use AI Assist to edit or update existing queries, or only create new ones?
Yes. You can use AI Assist for both. When keywords are already present in the Query Builder, the button changes to Refine query. Entering a prompt will add, adjust, or exclude terms relative to your existing query.
Does AI Assist change my selected social channels or audience filters?
No. AI Assist only generates and updates the Keywords section (inclusions, exclusions, and boolean groupings). Channels, message types, language filters, and alerts remain untouched and can be configured manually.
What happens if the generated query is too long?
Sprout Listening topics have a maximum capacity of 2,037 characters. AI Assist is designed to produce queries within this boundary. If your prompt is very broad, AI Assist prioritizes high-impact terms. You can also manually delete secondary chips to free up character space.
What data is sent to the AI model?
Only the natural language text you enter into the AI Assist prompt modal is sent to generate the query. Your social data, network messages, private profile data, and other account configurations are never transmitted.
Can I undo AI-generated changes?
There is no dedicated "Undo" button. To discard proposed terms, exit or cancel the draft Query Builder before clicking save. Once a topic is saved, changes are permanently written to that topic.
