How to use the ArfaAI Chatbot
Use the chat box to ask a focused question, draft text, brainstorm ideas, or get help finding a relevant ArfaAI utility. Give enough context to explain your goal and the format you want. For important answers, ask for assumptions and verify factual claims independently.
Choose a model mode
Gemini mode requires an API key that you provide and control. The key is saved in this browser’s local storage and is sent to Google when you use that mode. Public mode relies on an external service and may have different capabilities or availability. Never paste a key into a chat message.
Using attachments
Only attach files you are allowed to share. File support depends on the selected provider and the feature being used; the interface may send file content or extracted text to an external AI service. Use a small, non-sensitive sample first and check the result before relying on it.
Privacy and API costs
The chat interface runs in your browser, but prompts, attachments, and generated requests may be processed by external providers. Review the provider’s privacy policy and billing terms before use. API keys stored in browser local storage can be exposed to anyone who has access to that browser profile; avoid shared devices and remove your key when you no longer need it.
Common troubleshooting
If a request fails, check that the selected mode has a valid key if required, simplify the prompt, remove large or unsupported attachments, and try again. Provider outages, rate limits, invalid keys, or billing restrictions can prevent a response. Do not repeatedly retry a request if the provider may be charging for each attempt.
