What is the AI Query Assistant by YouScan?

The AI Query Assistant is an AI-powered functionality that helps you create and improve your text queries effortlessly. It lowers the entry barrier for beginners while significantly boosting productivity for advanced and enterprise users.

Who can benefit from AI Query Assistant?

Anyone! Our AI Query Assistant is created with every user in mind, no matter if you are just kicking off your social listening journey or already a pro. 

🙂 Beginners

We’ve all been there. You can rest assured that the tool can help you fully form text queries, even if you are not familiar with the Boolean logic yet. 

💪 Power users

You understand how a text query works, and you use them regularly. For you, AI Query Assistant speeds up query creation, explores alternative keyword sets, and challenges assumptions.

💼 Enterprise users

For enterprise users, the sky is the limit. AI Query Assistant can help you create topics faster and at scale with reusable, iterable queries.

Why should you try the new AI Query Assistant?

If you are still sitting on the fence, here are the challenges that the tool solves for you: 

• You are struggling to understand what a Boolean query is;

• You have a blank-slate problem while creating queries at scale, even as an experienced user;

• You can’t iterate on your text queries or access previously created ones; 

• You are frustrated with unnecessary pop-ups, blockers, and other heavy AI interactions.

And just like that, the AI Query Assistant optimizes your search when you aren’t getting the results you expect.

How does AI Query Assistant work?

If you are more of a visionary type, we’ve prepared a quick how-to video so that you get a broader idea of how our tool operates. Check it out! 

AI Query Assistant is available for all users with a topic creation permission. Just find it under Create Topic on your YouScan account and start the magic! 💫

The logic is pretty simple, so you can: 

• Issue direct commands (such as generate, refine, expand) without opening a full conversation;

• Check a secondary conversation panel, which is available for deeper exploration, explanations, and follow-ups;

• See the processing states and outputs inline, nothing blocks the page.

Plus, there are two Modes available: Fast and Extended. In the Fast mode, you get quick, simple assumptions. In the Extended one, you get a deeper analysis of your queries (works best with complex topics and exploration). You can switch between the modes in the same conversation as you see fit.

Let's say you're researching the barefoot sneakers market. You type a simple prompt:

"Create a query to track barefoot sneakers brands and conversations about minimalist footwear".

In seconds, AI Query Assistant delivers:

A complete Boolean query ready to use, with product terms and relevant variations already included.

Query Assistant also added terms like 'zero drop' and 'natural running' because enthusiasts frequently use this terminology.

So, you didn't need to know that "zero drop" was relevant. You didn't need to remember every brand name. The AI filled those gaps and showed you its work.

Query Versioning & Conversation History 

Our AI Query Assistant stores your queries as separate versions. Switch between versions, edit any version manually, or continue iterating from an edited version. Everything needed for your experiments, comparisons, and text query reuse without losing progress.

The AI Query Assistant keeps a complete history of your interactions, so nothing slips through the cracks. You can easily revisit past conversations, review earlier outputs, and reuse what worked before. This makes it easier to learn over time, stay consistent across topics, and build better queries faster—without starting from scratch each time.

Ready to take our AI Query Assistant for a spin?

The AI Query Assistant by YouScan transforms query creation from a high-friction, expert-only task into a fast, guided, and iterative workflow, empowering beginners to get started and enabling experts to move faster and think broader. Now the ball is in your court! 💚😌
