Summary: This article explains how to enable Location Awareness in AskTuring so the AI can provide answers tailored to your geographic area, such as local weather, nearby services, or region-specific information. You'll need to enable the feature in Settings and specify your location.
Prerequisites
You must have access to your organization's Settings (typically available to all users, but check with your admin if you don't see this option)
You should know the location you want to use (city name, region, or specific address)
Step-by-step instructions
1. Click your organization name in the bottom left corner of the AskTuring interface.
2. Click Settings from the menu that appears.
3. Scroll down to the Location Awareness section and toggle the switch from "disabled" to "enabled."
4. Click Enable in the confirmation dialog to activate Location Awareness.
5. In the text field labeled Your Location, enter your location (e.g., "London", "New York, NY", or a specific address).
6. Click Save Changes to store your location preference.
✅ Success indicator: Once saved, you can now ask location-specific questions in any chat, and AskTuring will use your saved location to provide relevant answers.
Tips and notes
💡 What counts as a location-specific question? Examples include "What's the weather right now?", "Find restaurants near me", or "What time does the sun set today?" AskTuring will automatically use your saved location to answer these queries.
💡 Changing your location: You can update your location at any time by returning to Settings > Location Awareness and entering a new location, then clicking Save Changes.
💡 Privacy note: Your location is stored in your user settings and is only used to provide contextual answers. It is not shared with other users in your organization.
