# Access Zia AI Assistant 

Catalyst Zia AI Assistant is available across all Catalyst services and is not a part of any specific Catalyst service. You can find the Zia AI Assistant at the bottom-left corner of the console in all your Catalyst projects. 

Click the AI or **Ask Zia** icon as shown below.

If an OpenAI API key is not configured in Catalyst, or if you have disabled a configured API key, you will not be able to access the AI Assistant features. Catalyst will display this pop-up and require you to have an active API key configured for your account.
