How to turn off images in AI responses

I’d like to request assistance with turning off the image replies feature for our Fin AI Agent. Currently, Fin automatically includes up to three relevant images/GIFs from our support content in its responses, but we'd prefer to have text-only replies.

I understand this isn't a self-serve setting and requires support assistance to disable. Could someone help us turn off this feature for our workspace?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

It's very common to want a more streamlined, text-only feel for your AI's personality. While you're right that there isn't a simple "off" switch in the settings for this, a simple tip is that you can reach out to Intercom support to have them disable "Fin Image Answers" on the backend for your workspace. In the meantime, a helpful little workaround is to use Fin Guidance to gently coach your AI agent; just add a custom instruction like "Please provide text-only answers and avoid including any images or GIFs in your replies". This acts as a strong personal policy for Fin to follow while you wait for the permanent change from the support team.

Just to add to this - I would like the option to choose IF an image in a public article should / shouldn't be used in Fin answers. 

Some images in our Public Knowledge are used for stylistic purposes only and wouldn't provide any additional context within a conversation.

Thank you for your response. If this is a common request, would it be possible to have this as a setting to turn OFF/ON from our end in the future?

I have attempted to use Fin Guidance to try to coach our AI agent with custom instructions, however, she still responds with images.
