Frequently asked questions
- Where do I open Ask AI as a host?
- Open Ask AI from the navigation bar or access contextual prompts directly inside your tournament dashboard.
- Can Ask AI make permanent changes without my confirmation?
- It depends on your **Enable auto-generate brackets** preference in **Preferences**. With it off, approving seeds and generating draws require your confirmation. With it on, Ask AI approves seeding and publishes draws without a confirmation step. Cancelling an event always requires your confirmation.
- Can Ask AI message all players in my tournament?
- No. TopSeed does not support broadcast messaging to all players. Players receive automated platform notices when brackets or scores update.
