Who qualifies
Users with is_platform_admin in Laravel receive padm: true on the JWT. The Admin area in the Next app includes platform controls when that flag is present.
AI assistants (Next platform config)
Under Admin → Features, use AI assistants toggles to enable or disable SierrAI, DonnaAI, YouTube, Social, and Calendar endpoints served by POST /api/ai/assistants. This is stored in the Next.js platform JSON file — no PHP deploy is required to turn assistants on or off.
AI Control Tower
- Task routing — Pick primary and failover models per product task, routing strategy (for example cheapest vs balanced), and optional routing mode overrides.
- Model registry — Activate or deactivate models available to the gateway snapshot.
- Routing rules — Advanced JSON match/action rules for conditional routing.
- Usage — Aggregated stats plus a recent-request table sourced from
ai_control_usage_logs.
Tenant AI token budgets
Under Plans & token budgets, edit included ai_tokens_per_period per subscription plan. Under Tenants, view remaining tokens and grant balance, and post grants to top up purchased balance.
Environment expectations
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL— Laravel API origin for BFF proxies.UGC_INTERNAL_SERVICE_TOKEN— Internal token for Control Tower snapshot sync and usage log ingest from Next.
Safety
Platform screens change production routing and billing-related limits. Prefer staging for experiments, keep audit logs enabled, and coordinate model changes with cost alerts in the usage dashboard.
