Tips for using QUTRIT (FAQ)

It is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that integrates two generative AIs, Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT, enabling dialogue between three parties including the user.

"Self-Serve Mode" is a mode where you use your own API keys, and you pay usage fees directly to each AI provider. "Managed Mode" is a mode where no API key is required, and you can use it immediately by just paying a monthly fee.

An "API Key" here refers to a secret key for communicating with Google and OpenAI. By communicating, you can send questions to each AI model and receive answers. However, establishing communication and displaying answers from AI generally requires programming. QUTRIT is exactly that program. In "Self-Serve Mode," if you set the API key in QUTRIT, you can start conversing with each AI model immediately without developing any program. If you are not sure... you can use "Managed Mode".

Yes. Both modes offer a free trial. Although there are functional limitations, please try out what a 3-way dialogue is like.

In Self-Serve Mode, you can chat unlimited. However, in Managed Mode, the number of conversations and the time available depend on the scale of processing performed by the AI, such as size of documents or number of web pages you ask AI to read. For example, when using a lightweight model for short and simple conversations, the Standard Plan is designed to allow approximately tens of thousands of interactions per month.

Currently, only the desktop version is provided, and there is no smartphone version (iOS/Android).

Currently, it supports Japanese and English. It automatically detects the language at startup, but you can freely switch between Japanese and English from the settings screen afterwards.

All conversation data is stored only on your computer (locally). Conversation history is never stored on cloud servers, ensuring high privacy.

Yes. Your API keys used in Self-Serve Mode are encrypted and saved in the OS-standard credential store (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain)

Yes. An internet connection is required to perform AI inference processing (communication with APIs). It cannot be used offline.

It is a feature that allows you to share your documents (PDF, text, etc.) or internal wikis with the AI, enabling it to answer based on your specific context. It is useful for connecting internal manuals, project files, etc.

In QUTRIT, you can share any local folders on your PC, or connect cloud services like Notion, Confluence, and Jira. The AIs will be able to reference files or pages on them as needed.

No. Since QUTRIT is designed to "support high-quality decision making," it strictly grants Read-Only access to the AIs. They can only read the files or cloud pages (like Notion) you explicitly connect. They cannot modify, delete, or create any new files or pages.

You can share local files such as PDF, Office files, text files, and program code, as well as cloud data like Notion pages, Confluence wikis, and Jira tickets. In particular, the AIs understand visual information in PDFs, such as graphs and charts.

Files attached within a chat are only used within that specific chat. The AI does not reference attachments from other chats. On the other hand, the Personalized Knowledge (connected folders or cloud tools) functions like a dictionary that the AI can look up cross-chat as needed. Best practice is to use both: attach files for one-off questions, and connect folders/cloud tools for long-term project data.

All data from your shared local folders is stored only on your computer (locally). Data retrieved from cloud tools like Notion is only accessed temporarily when needed to generate answers. Your data is not stored on our cloud servers, ensuring maximum privacy.

No. In QUTRIT, both Gemini and ChatGPT only output text.

It's an experience like having you, Gemini, and ChatGPT all in the same chat room. You can have the AIs exchange opinions with each other, or talk with just one of them if you prefer. You have the freedom to decide when each AI speaks.

Imagine getting a second opinion from another expert. You can have one AI (i.e. ChatGPT) verify and evaluate the other AI's (i.e. Gemini) answer, which can lead to more developed ideas or make it easier to spot AI-specific lies (hallucinations).

Most AI models are trained to be helpful and polite, which can sometimes lead to "Agreeability Bias"—the tendency to favor the user's opinion rather than providing a critical or objective analysis. While it is difficult to eliminate this behavior entirely due to the nature of LLM training, you can improve objectivity by framing your prompts differently.

Pro-tip: Don't reveal your hand first.

• Bad example (often leads to flattering answers)::
  "Here’s the plan I made. I think it’s good. What do you think?"
  → The AI tends to agree with the user and praise your plan.
• Better example (more objective)::
  "Our business partner proposed XYZ. Please evaluate whether this is beneficial for our company"
  → By positioning yourself as a neutral party, you trigger the AI’s "analytical assistant" mode, leading to a fair evaluation.

Also, QUTRIT has "Two AIs". QUTRIT is uniquely designed to solve this problem by featuring two distinct AI models in one workspace. By having Gemini and ChatGPT debate each other, the system naturally dilutes individual model biases and reduces people-pleasing tendencies. We encourage you to let the AIs cross-check each other’s logic to reach a truly objective conclusion.

For Windows users, the app is updated automatically depending on your Microsoft Store settings. For Mac users, the app automatically checks for the latest version at startup. If there is a new version, a notification will be displayed guiding you to download it.

Select "Manage Plan" from the profile icon at the top right of the screen, and click "Manage Subscription" for your current plan. The Stripe screen will appear, where you can cancel your subscription.

Go to Windows "Settings" > "Apps" > "Installed apps", select "QUTRIT", and execute uninstall.
