Chat lets you interact with IO Intelligence’s open-source language models directly from the io.net Dashboard. You can ask questions, get explanations, draft content, and — when you need fresh information — enable web search so the model can incorporate live results into its answers.

How it works

When web search is enabled, the model issues queries to the web in real time and uses the retrieved snippets as additional context for its response. When web search is disabled, the model answers from its pretrained knowledge alone.

Getting Started

To begin using Chat:
  1. Go to your io.net Dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Chat within IO Intelligence.

How to Ask Questions

What Each Response Includes

  • Reasoning breakdown — explaining how the model reached the conclusion.
  • Tools or agents used — showing any additional AI functions applied.
  • Web sources — when web search is enabled, links to the pages used to inform the response.
