Using LTO Ai

This guide covers everything you need to know about chatting with LTO Ai effectively.


Starting a Chat

New Conversation

  1. Click the chat input area at the bottom of the screen

  2. Type your question or message

  3. Press Enter or click the send button

  4. Wait for LTO Ai to respond

Starting Fresh

To begin a new conversation:

  • Click the "New Chat" button in the sidebar

  • Or use the keyboard shortcut (if available)

Each new chat starts without context from previous conversations, giving you a clean slate.


Writing Effective Messages

Be Clear and Specific

Good: "How does the Lease-to-Own model work for Bitcoin?"

Less effective: "Tell me about leasing"

Ask One Thing at a Time

Break complex questions into smaller parts for better responses.

Provide Context When Needed

If your question relates to a specific situation, include relevant details:

"I'm considering a 12-month lease term. What are the typical milestones for ownership progression?"


Understanding Responses

Response Streaming

LTO Ai responses appear in real-time as they're generated. You'll see text appearing word by word, similar to watching someone type.

Response Format

Responses may include:

  • Plain text — Regular explanations

  • Bullet points — Lists of items or steps

  • Numbered lists — Sequential instructions

  • Bold text — Important terms or emphasis

  • Code blocks — Technical information (if applicable)

Following Up

After receiving a response, you can:

  • Ask for clarification

  • Request more details

  • Ask a related question

  • Move to a new topic


Uploading Files

Formats

File Size Limits

Files should be reasonable in size for quick upload and processing. Very large files may take longer or be rejected.

Using Uploaded Images

When you upload an image, LTO Ai can:

  • Describe what it sees

  • Answer questions about the image content

  • Help analyze visual information


Understanding Token Limits

What Are Tokens?

Tokens are units that measure your usage of LTO Ai. Think of them like "conversation credits."

  • Every message you send uses tokens

  • Every response from LTO Ai uses tokens

  • Longer conversations use more tokens

Daily Token Limit

You have a daily allocation of tokens that resets every 24 hours (at midnight UTC).

Checking Your Usage

Your token usage is displayed in the sidebar:

  • Used — Tokens consumed today

  • Remaining — Tokens left for the day

  • Progress bar — Visual representation of usage

What Happens When You Run Out?

If you reach your daily limit:

  • You'll see a notification

  • New messages won't be sent until the limit resets

  • Your conversation history remains accessible

Tips to Manage Tokens

  1. Be concise — Shorter messages use fewer tokens

  2. Ask focused questions — Avoid overly broad queries

  3. Use new chats wisely — Each new chat starts fresh without prior context


Sharing Conversations

Why Share?

You might want to share a conversation to:

  • Show someone helpful information you received

  • Collaborate with team members

  • Save a reference for later

How to Share

  1. Click the Share icon in the chat header

  2. A confirmation dialog will appear

  3. Click "Generate Link" to create a shareable URL

  4. The link is automatically copied to your clipboard

  5. Paste and share the link with others

What Others See

When someone opens your shared link:

  • They see a read-only version of the conversation

  • They cannot modify or continue the chat

  • They don't need an account to view it

Privacy Considerations

  • Shared links are accessible to anyone with the URL

  • Only share conversations you're comfortable making public

  • You can generate new links if needed (previous links may still work)

Mobile Sharing

On mobile devices:

  • The share icon appears in the header

  • The sharing process is the same

  • Links work on all devices
