assistants

Publish an assistant

Asks Lookio to list the assistant in the directory of public assistants, with this description (what it answers, from what, for whom). Lookio reviews every request; once approved, any Lookio workspace may ask it and pays its own credits, and you earn 20% of what others spend on it, as credits, each month. Its context, guidelines and resources stay private. While it waits for review, sending again changes the description. A public assistant keeps the description Lookio approved: to change it, unpublish it and ask again (conflict otherwise). Admins only.
