title: Fern Agent
description: An agentic AI assistant built into the Fern Dashboard that lets you edit docs, explore analytics, and manage your organization — all in plain language.
---

Fern Agent is an AI assistant built directly into the [Fern Dashboard](https://dashboard.buildwithfern.com/). Instead of navigating menus and settings manually, you can describe what you want in plain language and Fern Agent will carry it out or point you in the right direction.

## What you can do

### Edit your docs

Ask Fern Agent to make changes to any of your docs sites. It reads your source repository, makes the requested edits, and delivers them as a branch, a pull request, or a live draft in the visual editor — whichever you prefer.

<Prompt title="Add a new page">
Add a new page about authentication to my getting-started guide.
</Prompt>

<br />

<Prompt title="Rewrite existing content">
Rewrite the introduction on the overview page to be more concise.
</Prompt>

<br />

<Prompt title="Reorganize navigation">
Move the changelog section to the top of the sidebar.
</Prompt>

### Explore analytics

Ask questions about your docs traffic, reader behavior, and broken links without writing a single query.

<Prompt title="Check traffic">
Which pages got the most traffic last month?

[FernStyles.Headings] 'Review Ask AI activity' should use sentence-style capitalization.
