​
Overview

Ask is an AI that answers questions inside Discord, in a short and casual text. It is a BETA: it can be wrong, it can change, and it can be unavailable for a while. Do not trust it for anything important.
  • It answers as a reply to your message and never pings anybody.
  • Every answer ends with a small line that says it is an AI and can be wrong, and (for free members) how many questions you have left today.
  • It answers in the language you wrote the question in.

​
How to ask

  • !ask works with every prefix of your server, so if your server uses ?, write ?ask. petto ask and @Petto ask always work.
  • /ai ask answers in public in the channel (it shows that it is thinking first). The question can have up to 800 characters.
  • !ai ask <question> is the same thing with the prefix.

​
Limits

There is also a short wait between two questions, and caps that protect the quota that everybody shares. If Petto is busy it tells you to try again later and that question does not count. A question that gets no answer is not counted either.

​
See how many you have left

Example
It tells you how many questions you have left today and when they come back (or that you have no limit). With /ai usage only you see the answer.

​
Keep the conversation going

Reply to one of Petto’s answers and write your next question, with no command word. Petto reads the last messages of that chain as context, so you can say “and in Spanish?” or “give me an example”. Only the member who asked the first question can continue the conversation, and every question in it counts as one of the day.

​
What it will not answer

Petto refuses, briefly and kindly, hateful or harassing content, sexual content, anything that promotes self-harm, and instructions to hurt people or to do anything illegal. For medical, legal or financial questions it only gives general information and suggests asking a professional.

​
Privacy

  • The text of your question is sent to the AI provider, Groq, to produce the answer. When you reply to a previous answer, the earlier messages of that chain are sent too, as context.
  • Petto does not store your questions or the answers.
  • The only thing it keeps is how many questions each member asked each day, to apply the daily limit.
Do not write passwords, tokens or personal data in a question.

​
For server admins

Ask is on in every server. You can turn it off or limit it with the commands you already use for any other command:
  • !disablecommand ask turns it off in the whole server, or in some channels. It covers /ai ask, !ask and the follow-up replies. !disablecommand ai turns off ask and usage together.
  • !restrictcommand ask lets only some roles use it.
  • For the slash command, you can also choose who sees /ai in Server Settings → Integrations → Petto.
A server that already has an alias or a custom command called ask keeps its own.
