Frequently asked questions

Which AI providers are supported?

OpenAI (GPT 5.1, GPT 5, GPT 5 Mini, GPT 5 Nano, GPT 4.1, GPT 4o families), Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Haiku 4.5), and DeepSeek (Chat and Reasoner). Each provider needs its own API key, entered in Settings. The model dropdown labels each model as cheap, moderate, or high usage.

How do knowledge base page sections work?

Switch a section from Text to Page and pick a published page. The page content is stripped to plain text and injected into the AI context on every reply, so page edits apply automatically. Content is trimmed to 20,000 characters per section.

What format does knowledge base import expect?

A zip containing .txt files. Each file becomes a section: the file name is the title, the file text is the content. Replace mode swaps the whole knowledge base, merge mode updates matching titles and adds the rest.

Updates and access

An active individual or portfolio entitlement provides updates and support. After expiry, the installed local version remains, while update access, support, new activations, domain moves, and protected remote services stop.
