The NiCE CXone AAH Endpoint enables you to deploy [Agent Copilot](/agent-copilot/overview) directly through [NiCE CXone Agent Assist Hub (AAH)](https://help.nicecxone.com/content/aiassistantsandbots/agentassisthub/cognigyagentassist/cognigyagentassist.htm). This deployment mode lets you use Agent Copilot in the NiCE CXone Mpower contact center without a Cognigy.AI Agent.

## Prerequisites

* An account on the [NiCE CXone](https://cxone.niceincontact.com/) platform.
* Access to the [CXone Mpower Agent](https://help.nicecxone.com/content/agent/agentapplicationadministration/cxoneagent/cxoneagentforadministrators.htm) in NiCE CXone AAH.
* Install the [NiCE CXone Agent WebRTC extension](https://help.nicecxone.com/content/agent/cxoneagent/addcxawebrtcext.htm).
* Generate a [Cognigy.AI API key](/ai/administer/user-menu/my-profile#api-keys).
* Configure an [Agent Copilot Flow](/agent-copilot/configure/overview#agent-copilot).
* A 256-bit string secret to sign a JSON Web Token (JWT). Both [Cognigy.AI](#setup-on-the-cognigy-ai-side) and [NiCE CXone](#setup-on-the-nice-cxone-side) use the same secret to authenticate via JWT and establish a secure connection. For more information, read the [JWT documentation](https://www.jwt.io/introduction).

## Limitations

* When the end user hangs up, the Agent Copilot window on the NiCE CXone AAH platform closes, and the human agent can no longer access it.

## How to Set Up

### Setup on the Cognigy.AI Side

<Accordion title="Configure a NiCE CXone AAH Endpoint">
  1. Go to **Deploy > Endpoints**.
  2. On the **Endpoints** page, click **+ New Endpoint**.
  3. In the **New Endpoint** section, configure the following:
     1. Select the **NiCE CXone AAH** Endpoint type.
     2. Add a unique name.
     3. Select a relevant Agent Copilot Flow from the list. Save changes.
  4. In the **Configuration Information** section, copy the Endpoint URL and save it for later use in NiCE CXone. This URL is composed of two parts, the server address and the URL token. For example, if the Endpoint URL is `https://endpoint-trial.cognigy.ai/69ad2e3f9a1bc351eac7aa234cee41c2967d7b0b9dbbdba6b5711357bdgaa1a8`, then:
     * The server address is `https://endpoint-trial.cognigy.ai/`.
     * The URL token is `69ad2e3f9a1bc351eac7aa234cee41c2967d7b0b9dbbdba6b5711357bdgaa1a8`.
  5. Activate the **Enable Endpoint** setting.
  6. In the **NiCE CXone AAH Setup** section, click <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-15abf2ba/I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP/_assets/icons/black-and-white/plus-sign.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP&q=85&s=4d8886f18ca8f167f2ccdbea9b1411b8" alt="plus-sign" width="12" height="12" data-path="_assets/icons/black-and-white/plus-sign.svg" /> next to the **NiCE CXone AAH Authentication** field and add a NiCE CXone AAH connection by filling in the following fields:
     * **Connection name** — enter a unique name.
     * **API Key** — enter a [Cognigy.AI API key](#prerequisites).
  7. In the **Copilot** section, configure the following:
     * **Copilot Type** — select **Workspace**.
  8. Toggle on the **Enable Copilot Authentication** option.
  9. Click <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-15abf2ba/I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP/_assets/icons/black-and-white/plus-sign.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP&q=85&s=4d8886f18ca8f167f2ccdbea9b1411b8" alt="plus-sign" width="12" height="12" data-path="_assets/icons/black-and-white/plus-sign.svg" /> next to the **Agent Copilot Authentication** field to configure the JWT connection:
     * **Connection name** — enter a unique name.
     * **JWT Secret** — enter the [string](#prerequisites) to be used as the JWT secret.
  10. *(Optional)* Activate the **Accept Only JWT Requests** option to block any requests to the Agent Copilot URL that don't contain a valid JWT. This parameter is deactivated by default. Activating this parameter is useful for security reasons because it ensures that access requests that include only the user and session IDs are blocked.
