Chat

Langdock AI Chat is the central feature Langdock is built on. It boosts your efficiency by leveraging the latest language models, allowing for web browsing, document uploads, analysis, and image generation.

This guide explains all the features and modes related to chat.

​

Chat Modes

Langdock automatically chooses the best mode for your message, depending on your query.

​

Plain Chat

Uploading files from your computer: Click on the paperclip in the left end of the chat input field and then on Upload file Your computer’s finder opens and you can select the according files you want to upload to the chat. You can also drag and drop files or paste them with CMD + V (Mac) or CNTRL + V (Windows).to either upload files or select files from your connected integrations.

Selecting files from connected integrations: To use files from your integrations, also click on the paperclip in the left end of the chat input field. A search bar opens with which you can search for the according files. This search searches through all integrations, so if you have Confluence and Google Drive connected both of these apps are searched for the most fitting results.

Prompt the model by saying Search the web for... to leverage this capability.

You can prompt the model to create an image by writing Create an image.

You can also try different models a e.g. Claude Sonnet writes different prompts to the DALL-E 3 model than GPT-4.

​

You can upload PNG or JPG files by clicking on the paper clip in the left corner of the chat input field.

Then, write a prompt to instruct the model what you are trying to do. You can analyze, describe, extract text from an image, or compare several photos.

​

Prompt Actions

​

Edit Prompt

If you are unsatisfied with a response, you can edit the instructions by clicking on the pen icon next to your prompt. Click save when you are ready.

​

Save Prompt

If you like a prompt and want to reuse it in the future, save it by clicking on the “+” icon. You need to choose a folder where you want to save your prompt in the prompt library and give your prompt a name. You can learn more about it here.

​

Regenerate Prompt

If you are unsatisfied with the response you received, simply click on the circular arrow below your response to regenerate it. This feature is particularly useful because models are non-deterministic, meaning you will always get a slightly different result for the same prompt. You can then review the various responses and select the one that best meets your needs.

​

Models

You can enhance your prompting experience by selecting different models from the model selection field, located in the upper left corner of the chat interface.

Langdock positions itself as a model-agnostic tool, committed to providing you with flexibility and freedom of choice, rather than locking you into a single model.

Each model has its own unique strengths, and we encourage you to explore and test different models to find the best fit for your needs. Find out about different models here.
