Technical Setup for the empower® AI Chart Assistant

Available from Version: 10.0 

Operating System: Windows 

Required Permissions: IT Admin 

The empower® AI Chart Assistant is available from version 10.0 onwards and is currently in a beta phase.

To make the empower® AI Chart Assistant available in empower® Chart Creation or empower® Charts, an API key for your organization within an additional configuration file is required.

This API key is distributed via an API key file either during the installation or after the installation of empower®.

In the following sections, you can find further information regarding the adjustment and distribution of the API key file.

Note

If you are interested in the activation of the empower® AI Chart Assistant for your company or single users, contact your Onboarding Specialist or Customer Success Manager.

Note

If support with the setup is needed, reach out to your Onboarding Specialist or Customer Success Manager.

As the feature is currently in a beta phase, we highly value your feedback and use it to continuously optimize and further develop this feature.

Note

For further information regarding the empower® AI Chart Assistant, refer to our empower® Chart Creation manual.

Adjust the API Key File

The API key for the empower® AI Chart Assistant is stored in a .json file.

This .json file is named ai_config.json and is stored in the payload of your installation package under the following path:

.NET10 Installer:

payload\install\net\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature

.NET Framework Installer:

payload\install\netfx\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature

If you have already installed empower® and want to distribute the file without performing an update with a payload folder, refer to Distribute the API Key File after Installation.

The file follows the following structure:

 
{
  "chatCompletion": {
    "provider": "AzureOpenAi",
    "AzureOpenAi": {
      "Endpoint": "[ENDPOINT URL]",
      "DeploymentName": "[DEPLOYMENT NAME]"
    },
    "apiKey": "[API KEY]"
  }
}

In this file, replace the placeholder [API KEY] with the API key for your organization.

Replace the placeholder for [ENDPOINT URL] with the endpoint URL for your Azure OpenAI endpoint.

Replace the placeholder for [DEPLOYMENT NAME] with the deployment name.

Then, save the file as ai_config.json back to its original location in the payload folder.

Important

The square brackets are part of the placeholder and must therefore be removed.

Note

The empower® AI Chart Assistant has been tested with Azure OpenAI. The .json file has been composed for the usage of Azure OpenAI with different AI models such as gpt56terra.

In general, other LLMs should be compatible with the empower® AI Chart Assistant. However, the .json file needs to be adjusted for the usage of other LLMs.

If you want to use another LLM than Azure OpenAI, contact your Onboarding Specialist or Customer Success Manager to evaluate your options.

After you have adjusted the file and saved it back to the payload folder, install empower® onto your users' devices.

To do so, follow the instructions under Installer Guide – empower® Chart Creation >= 10.0.

After installation, the option AI Chart Assistant should be available under the button More in the group empower.

In addition, the empower® AI Chart Assistant should now be available in your side pane and in the action bar of all charts.

Note

If you have already installed empower®, you can distribute the file ai_config.json via software distribution.

For further information, see Distribute the API Key File after Installation

Distribute the API Key File after Installation

If you have already installed empower®, the API key file must be created and placed in the installation directory.

To create the file, open a .txt file and save it as a .json file named ai_config.json.

In this file, fill in the content described under Adjust the API Key File.

Replace the placeholders with your company's values.

The file can then be distributed manually to single users or to multiple users via software distribution.

Distribute the file to the following storage location:

per User Installations & .NET10 Installer:

%localappdata%\Programs\empower\net\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature 

per User Installations & .NET Framework Installer:

%localappdata%\Programs\empower\netfx\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature 

per Machine Installations & .NET10 Installer:

%Programdata%\Programs\empower\net\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature 

per Machine Installations & .NET Framework Installer:

%Programdata%\Programs\empower\netfx\ChartCreation\empower.ChartCreation.Charts.Feature 

After you have placed the file under the specified path, restart PowerPoint.

When you open PowerPoint again, the option AI Chart Assistant should be available under the button More in the group empower.

In addition, the empower® AI Chart Assistant should now be available in your side pane and in the action bar of all charts.
