What it has cost

Measured from what the gateway charged rather than estimated from a price list. The chart and lists below cover the period selected.

Window
Show as

A conversation keeps its model so the cache survives, so one difficult question early on can bill an entire conversation at the top tier. That appears above as a single conversation with many turns.

The weekly review

Once a week this can assess what your model use cost and what would reduce it, and file the assessment on this deployment's issue tracker for review. None of your content is included: no questions, no conversation titles, no message text - only stages, scores, model names, costs and conversation numbers.

Which model is answering

Choosing it yourself

Why a cheap question can get a dear model

A conversation keeps the model it settled on, because moving discards the cached history and pays for it again. So a short question after a difficult one is answered on the same dear model. It drops back after half an hour idle, and New starts from nothing.

Getting you set up

Everything in this walkthrough

Nothing here is required now, and nothing is lost by closing it. Configuration completed on any other screen counts: this reports what is actually configured, not which buttons were last pressed.

Setting up your working day

Four questions. Only the first is required by the rest; after that you may stop at any point and return later.

Your time

Time is reserved in the gaps between your meetings, and moved when a meeting is booked over it.

Earlier conversations

Resume a conversation where it stopped, or search across all of them.

This removes the transcripts. What the assistant has learned is held separately and is retained; see Memory, where each belief can be forgotten individually.

Notes

Take notes during a meeting. Nothing entered here is answered or acted on; it is recorded, and at the end becomes a document you can download.

Earlier meetings

Background work

Work the assistant went off to do while you carried on. Each one sends its own answer when it is done. Stopping one ends it at the next step it can stop on, and what it had got to is kept but not sent.

Pinned

Answers you have kept. They are copies: they outlive both the conversation they came from and the transcripts, which are removed after ninety days.

Lists

Named lists - groceries, packing, a reading list - each with items to check off. Ticking an item here or by request updates the same list.

Travel

Itinerary
Boarding Pass
Documents

The reference numbers a desk will ask for. Abbreviated until you press Show, which is cover from the person behind you in the queue and not a lock: you are signed in, and can ask the assistant for the same details.

What it knows

Memories

A belief's origin determines how far it is trusted. Something you stated is an assertion; something an email claimed is attributed and remains so. Forget removes a belief permanently.

Take a photo

The camera runs only while this window is open, and no picture is taken until you press Capture. The result is an attachment like any other and can be removed before sending.
