Frequently Asked Questions

AskCHOW is a memory-first AI operating system. Unlike basic chatbots that forget everything after each session, AskCHOW remembers your projects, files, decisions, goals, and preferences — then uses that context to answer questions, build deliverables, and keep your work moving.

ChatGPT is a powerful general assistant. AskCHOW is built specifically for project continuity, memory-backed execution, and deliverable generation. AskCHOW's Project Rooms, persistent memory, Build Mode, What Am I Forgetting, and Daily Briefing are designed to make it your AI chief of staff — not just a Q&A tool.

Yes — everything you explicitly save, plus things CHOW detects as important during conversations (with your approval). You can see all saved memory at /memory, edit or delete any item, and export your complete memory as JSON at any time.

Word documents (.docx), PowerPoint slides (.pptx), Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx), PDFs, landing page copy, business plans, pitch decks, email sequences, code files, reports, checklists, SOPs, and more. Any answer can be turned into a real file or deliverable.

Yes. Your private memory is never exposed publicly. Your conversations are not used to train public AI models. You can delete any memory item, your entire memory, or your account at any time. See our full Privacy Policy for details.

A Project Room is a persistent workspace for one area of your work or life — like a startup, a client, a coding project, or your finances. Each room has its own scoped memory, files, tasks, decisions, notes, and AI recommendations. Your projects stay organized and CHOW always has the right context.

Deep Research is CHOW's multi-step research mode. When you activate it, CHOW plans 5 targeted search queries, runs them in parallel across 15+ web sources, deduplicates results, and synthesizes a comprehensive cited report — with live progress shown as it works. It takes 30-60 seconds and produces analyst-quality output.

Skills are persistent capabilities you can add to CHOW. Built-in skills include Word, PDF, Slides, Spreadsheets, and a Skill Creator. You can also create custom skills — teach CHOW your formatting preferences, workflow rules, or response style once, and it applies them across every conversation.

It's one of AskCHOW's most unique features. CHOW scans your memory, projects, open tasks, old promises, and unfinished files — then surfaces what needs your attention, why it matters, the related project or person, when you last touched it, and what the next action should be.

Free tier includes basic chat and limited memory. Pro is $20/month and includes persistent memory, 10 project rooms, file brain, daily briefings, and 200 build credits. Builder is $49/month with premium models and 600 credits. Team plan is $149/month for 5 seats. See /pricing for full details.
