AI Chat
Interact with powerful AI models to analyze documents, answer questions, and boost productivity.
Three Ways to Chat:
1. AI Lab - Direct chat with any AI model
2. Knowledge Base Chat - AI that knows your documents
3. Greatest Minds - Chat with AI personalities
AI Lab - Multi-Model Chat
The AI Lab (Ctrl+1) provides direct access to multiple AI models for general-purpose conversations.

Explain quantum computing in simple terms
Quantum computing is like having a magical coin that can be both heads and tails at the same time, until you look at it. This lets quantum computers try many solutions simultaneously...
Can you provide more technical details?
Certainly! Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) that leverage superposition and entanglement. A qubit can exist in a state |Ļā© = α|0ā© + β|1ā© where α and β are complex probability amplitudes...
Knowledge Base Chat
When you're in a knowledge base, the AI has full context of your documents.
Key Features
AI searches your documents to provide accurate, sourced answers
Click citations to jump to source documents
Maintains conversation context across sessions
Answers based on your specific documents
Example Use Cases
AI Chat
What are the key findings from the Q3 reports?
Based on the Q3 reports in your knowledge base: ⢠Revenue increased 23% YoY to $4.2M [Q3-Financial.pdf, p.2] ⢠Customer acquisition cost decreased by 15% [Marketing-Report.pdf, p.8] ⢠New product launch exceeded targets by 40% [Product-Update.pdf, p.1]
Document Context
Page 42: "Global temperatures have risen..."
Section 3.2: "Environmental factors include..."
Line 145: "Key findings suggest that..."
Knowledge Base
Climate Research
42 documents ⢠2.3 GB
Pro Tip: Use specific document names in your questions for more focused answers: "What does Report2024.pdf say about sustainability?"
Greatest Minds - AI Personalities
Chat with AI personalities modeled after historical figures, experts, and fictional characters.
Einstein
Physics & relativity
Da Vinci
Art & invention
Shakespeare
Literature & poetry
Marie Curie
Chemistry & physics
Tesla
Electricity & innovation
Socrates
Philosophy & logic
Sun Tzu
Strategy & tactics
Carl Sagan
Astronomy & science
How Personalities Work
- Each personality has unique knowledge and communication style
- Responses reflect the historical figure's expertise and era
- Can be combined with your knowledge bases for specialized analysis
- Perfect for creative brainstorming and unique perspectives
Chat Features
Chat History
- Automatic Saving - All conversations are saved automatically
- Search History - Find past conversations by content
- Pin Important Chats - Keep frequently referenced chats accessible
- Archive Old Chats - Clean up without deleting
- Export Conversations - Save as Markdown or PDF
Streaming Responses
Responses stream in real-time, allowing you to:
- See partial answers immediately
- Stop generation if the response goes off-track
- Save time on long responses

Multi-Model Conversations
Compare responses from different models side-by-side:
Mistral 7B
Response time: 0.8s
Machine learning is a way for computers to learn patterns from data without being explicitly programmed for each task.
Claude 3 Sonnet
Response time: 1.2s
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that enables computers to automatically learn and improve from experience. It uses algorithms to find patterns in data and make predictions or decisions.
- Ask a question to one model
- Switch models and ask the same question
- Compare responses to find the best answer
- Combine insights from multiple models
Context Management
Control how much context the AI remembers:
- Full Context - AI remembers entire conversation (slower)
- Recent Context - Last 10 messages (balanced)
- Minimal Context - Last 2 messages (fastest)
Custom Instructions
Set persistent instructions for AI behavior:
- Response format (bullet points, paragraphs, code)
- Language preferences
- Technical level (beginner, intermediate, expert)
- Tone (formal, casual, academic)
Privacy & Security
Local AI (Ollama)
100% Private: When using local models, your conversations never leave your computer. No internet connection required after model download.
Cloud AI (Pro)
When using cloud providers:
- Only your messages are sent to the provider
- Document content stays local (only relevant excerpts sent)
- Conversations are encrypted in transit
- No data is stored by enTANGlement servers
- You can delete provider data anytime
Important: Cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI) have their own privacy policies. Review them before sharing sensitive information.
Optimizing Chat Performance
For Speed
- Use smaller, local models (Mistral 7B)
- Reduce context window size
- Clear chat history periodically
- Close unused knowledge bases
For Quality
- Use larger models (Claude, GPT-4)
- Provide clear, specific prompts
- Include relevant context in questions
- Use custom instructions for consistent output
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| AI not responding | Check model is downloaded/API key is valid |
| Slow responses | Switch to faster model, reduce context |
| Generic answers in KB chat | Ensure documents are processed, be more specific |
| Chat history not saving | Check storage permissions, restart app |
| Model switching fails | Verify model is installed/configured |
Tips & Best Practices
Effective Prompting
- Be specific - "Summarize chapter 3" vs "Summarize the document"
- Provide context - "As a Python developer, how do I..."
- Ask follow-ups - Build on previous responses
- Request formats - "List as bullet points" or "Explain with examples"
Managing Conversations
- Start new chats for different topics
- Pin reference conversations
- Export important insights
- Archive completed projects
