Frequently asked questions
No. ChEddi acts as the logged-in backend user and with their permissions. It only sees what you may see and only changes what you may change. Two editors with different group permissions have different capabilities in the same chat.
Only partly. It does not see your screen or the view you have open. If you have a record open, ChEddi reads it in at the start of the task. Phrases like “this page” still remain unreliable, so better name the page by title or slug.
Yes, since version 0.3.0. With “Dock to the right” in the chat header you attach the chat to the right edge. The backend then moves aside by exactly that width, so the opened record stays visible next to the conversation. See Opening the chat and writing requests.
No. Read-only steps run on their own, every write is shown to you as a preview beforehand and needs your click. Hard-to-reverse actions need a second one. Nothing is saved without confirmation.
That depends on the setting of your installation. In draft mode, the default, every change can be discarded through the actions menu. In live mode it takes effect immediately. The chat shows at the top what applies to you. Note: images that ChEddi generates land in the file list immediately in either mode.
Yes. What ChEddi saves after your confirmation is recorded as AI-generated by the AI Suite in its transparency register, with the feature “Editor chat”. The records carry a badge in the page module and appear in the “AI content” area of the backend module (changes in the draft only after publishing), where you can also mark them as reviewed. See AI Content (EU AI Act).
Yes, every turn consumes credits from your AI Suite allowance. Your balance is shown at the top of the chat. Two rules of thumb: continuing a conversation is cheaper than starting a new one, and one conversation per topic is cheaper than one long one about everything.
Your message, the conversation so far and the text from attachments go to the AI Suite server, which runs the model. That also applies with your own provider keys. If web research is enabled and used, your search query leaves the installation as well.
So never write passwords, keys or third-party personal data into the chat.
The model is fixed from the first answer of a conversation onwards. With “+ New conversation” you start again with a different model.
Usually your backend group lacks the permission for a chat-capable model, or GDPR mode narrows the selection. Contact your administration, see Permissions.
Until they have been inactive for a period set by your administration, 20 days by default. Then they disappear from your list and are permanently deleted after another seven days. The help window in the chat tells you the value that applies to you.
