| 2 | + | title: Ask g1t |
| 3 | + | description: Ask g1t about your work from the top bar of any page. It answers with your workspace's own AI provider and key, knows which page you are on, and reads the issue or pull request in front of you. |
| 4 | + | --- |
| 5 | + | |
| 6 | + | **Ask**, in the top bar, opens a conversation with g1t beside the page |
| 7 | + | you are on. Ask about the issue you are reading, the pull request you are |
| 8 | + | reviewing, or anything else about your work, and the answer streams in as |
| 9 | + | it is written. |
| 10 | + | |
| 11 | + | Ask answers with **your workspace's own AI provider**, on your workspace's |
| 12 | + | own key: one of [your AI providers](/guides/integrations/#your-ai-providers), |
| 13 | + | and the model an owner chose for it. g1t hosts no model for Ask and bills |
| 14 | + | nothing for it; what an answer costs is on your provider's bill. Your key |
| 15 | + | stays sealed in g1t: it is used to call the provider and is never sent to |
| 16 | + | your browser. |
| 17 | + | |
| 18 | + | ## Set it up |
| 19 | + | |
| 20 | + | An owner of the workspace sets it up once: |
| 21 | + | |
| 22 | + | 1. Open **Integrations → Your AI providers**, at |
| 23 | + | `g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/integrations/models`. |
| 24 | + | 2. Connect a provider if there is none yet: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or |
| 25 | + | any of the others, or your own Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible |
| 26 | + | endpoint. |
| 27 | + | 3. Under **Ask g1t**, choose the provider and one of the models it offers, |
| 28 | + | then **Use for Ask**. For Azure OpenAI, give the deployment's name; for |
| 29 | + | an endpoint that does not list its models, the model's name. |
| 30 | + | |
| 31 | + | Every member can then ask. Until a provider is chosen, Ask says so: owners |
| 32 | + | get a link to set it up, and members are told to ask an owner. **Turn Ask |
| 33 | + | off** on the same page stops it answering, and removing the provider it |
| 34 | + | uses does too. |
| 35 | + | |
| 36 | + | Every AI provider g1t connects works with Ask: Anthropic and |
| 37 | + | Anthropic-compatible endpoints through Anthropic's Messages API, and the |
| 38 | + | rest through OpenAI's Chat Completions API. |
| 39 | + | |
| 40 | + | ## What it knows |
| 41 | + | |
| 42 | + | Each question is sent with a short note saying that this is Ask in your |
| 43 | + | workspace and which page you are on: the repository, and the issue or pull |
| 44 | + | request number, when there is one. On an issue or a pull request, g1t also |
| 45 | + | reads its title, state and description, as you can see them, and sends |
| 46 | + | those along, so you can ask "what is left to do here?" without pasting |
| 47 | + | anything. |
| 48 | + | |
| 49 | + | That is all it is given. Ask cannot change anything in g1t or read |
| 50 | + | anything beyond that page; if you ask it to, it says so. Its answers come |
| 51 | + | from a model and can be wrong. |
| 52 | + | |
| 53 | + | ## Conversations |
| 54 | + | |
| 55 | + | Ask keeps one conversation per workspace, in your browser tab: it stays as |
| 56 | + | you move between pages and when you reload, and is gone when you close the |
| 57 | + | tab. **New conversation** starts over, and **Stop** ends an answer while it |
| 58 | + | is being written; what had come so far stays. Each answer shows the |
| 59 | + | provider and model that wrote it. |
| 60 | + | |
| 61 | + | ## Limits |
| 62 | + | |
| 63 | + | - 20 questions a minute for each person. |
| 64 | + | - A question can be up to 16,000 characters, and a conversation up to |
| 65 | + | 64,000 characters; past that, start a new one. Only the conversation's |
| 66 | + | latest 40 messages are sent. |
| 67 | + | - An answer is at most 4,096 tokens long, and says when it was cut off. |
