# Chat

> ALK's AI-powered question and answer interface across your connected sources

## Overview

Chat is ALK's AI-powered question and answer interface. It lets you search for answers across your connected sources and uploaded documents by typing natural language questions.

<Tip>
  Chat responds in the language context of your workspace. The greeting on the home screen rotates across languages as a reflection of ALK's focus on emerging markets.
</Tip>

## Capabilities of Chat

1. Chat queries information from your connected sources and uploaded documents.
2. It does **not** search the web. Web Search is currently disabled.
3. It also does not yet carry conversation context between sessions, though this feature is in development.

## Getting started with Chat

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask a question">
    From the ALK home screen, type your question into the search bar that reads "Search for answers across your connected sources" and press Enter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your sources">
    Click **+ Sources** beneath the search bar to select which sources Chat should query. Available sources are:

    * **Microsoft OneDrive** — documents stored in your OneDrive
    * **Mono** — connected bank account data
    * **Acumatica** — connected GL and ERP data
    * **Google Drive** — documents stored in your Google Drive
    * **File Uploads** — documents you have uploaded directly to ALK

    Toggle on the sources relevant to your question before searching.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your conversation history">
    For quick access to your previous conversations with ALK, look below the sources text — your previous conversations will be housed here. If no conversations have been started yet, the panel will show "No conversation history yet."
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Important notes

* Web Search is currently disabled. Chat can only query information from your connected sources and uploaded documents. It cannot retrieve information from the internet.
* Conversation context is currently being worked on. Each session starts fresh. Chat does not remember previous conversations.
* ALK can make mistakes. Always verify important information from the original source documents.
