How to share a public AI assistant trained on your files

The killer feature people miss: you can take an Assistant you've built and share it publicly, no signup required for the reader. A bar reviewer turns into a study bot for classmates. A course pack becomes a Q&A bot for students. A product knowledge base becomes a self-serve support bot.

Here's how to set it up, and what to know before you do.

What public sharing gives you

• A public URL like seekfiles.ai/p/your-slug (or your-slug.seekfiles.ai depending on config).
• Anyone with the link can chat — no account, no friction.
• They see citations linked to the files you uploaded.
• You stay the owner; you can revoke or update anytime.

What public sharing does NOT do

• It does NOT expose the raw files. Readers can't download your PDFs.
• It does NOT show your billing / usage / settings.
• It does NOT let readers see other readers' conversations.
• It does NOT add readers to your account or contact list.

Step-by-step

1. Build the assistant first

Get the scope and system prompt right before you make it public. Examples of good scopes:

• Bar reviewer: scoped to "Civil Code" folder + reviewers PDFs.
• Course bot: scoped to "Course Materials Week 1–14."
• Product docs bot: scoped to "Product Documentation" folder.

2. Write a clear system prompt

This is what the reader-facing bot leads with. Be specific about what it can and can't help with.

"I'm a study assistant for the Civil Law reviewer. I'll answer questions about the doctrines covered in our uploaded materials, with citations. I won't speculate beyond what's in the reviewer."

3. Toggle Public

In the assistant settings, flip the "Public" toggle. Pick a slug (the URL-friendly name). Save.

4. Test it as an anonymous user

Open the public URL in an incognito window. Ask a few real questions. Verify:

• Answers come with citations.
• The bot refuses when asked about unrelated topics.
• The bot's persona matches what you wrote in the system prompt.

5. Share

Drop the link in your group chat, on social, on your website. The bot accepts traffic with a per-IP rate limit, so a sudden burst (Reddit hug-of-death style) won't crash anything.

Hardening tips

• Add usage instructions in the system prompt so first-time visitors know what to ask.
• Pin the most-asked questions as starter prompts on the public page.
• Watch for abuse. If a public bot gets flooded with off-topic questions, tighten the system prompt with a "refuse if not related to X" rule.

When NOT to go public

• If your files contain anything confidential — confidential clauses in contracts, unreleased product info, internal salary data.
• If your team hasn't reviewed what the bot says when asked edge-case questions.
• If the files have PII for people who didn't consent to being in a public Q&A surface.

Public sharing is one of the most viral surfaces you have on SeekFiles AI. The bots that go furthest tend to be student-built (reviewers shared with batchmates), creator-built (course companions), and small-business-built (front-line product Q&A).

Most growth on the platform comes through these public bots discovered organically. If you've built something genuinely useful, sharing it is the fastest way to multiply its value.
