<Warning>Access to this endpoint requires a paid subscription plan</Warning> ## Description This endpoint lets you run an assistant you can configure in the UI. Users can create a custom AI agent by providing a description of the desired functionality using natural language. The system supports both conversational inputs and advanced prompting techniques to define the agent's behavior. Before using it you must have created a custom agent at https://you.com/agents. ## Enterprise Settings To maintain enterprise security, enable Zero Data Retention on your enterprise account. Manage this setting at [you.com/settings/privacy](https://you.com/settings/privacy). When enabled, we do not retain your data and do not use it for model training. <Warning>Privacy settings can only be managed by You.com Enterprise or team admins.</Warning> The data returns as SSE (Server-Side Events) with the `text/event-stream` content type in the response header. It streams data in while the agent is responding.
