A generalist Stand-in can cover simple questions across eligible Sites in the organization. Its owner’s I chat here choices restrict human coverage, not the general Stand-in. Use Site and path specialization when the AI should answer only within a narrower context.
When a specialist only belongs on part of a site, open the Stand-in → Edit → Identity, select the site, and add one Path pattern. Leave it empty for the whole site, use / for the front page, use an exact path such as /pricing, or use /pricing/* for that page and child pages.
Priority is decided within each owner’s Stand-ins: a matching path specialist takes precedence over that owner’s Site-wide or general Stand-ins. It does not exclude another owner’s general Stand-in. Two matching path patterns have the same priority even if one is longer or exact. Coordinate owners and avoid overlapping specialists when a page needs one predictable answer.
