Tips for using QUTRIT (FAQ)

Common questions and tips to get the most out of QUTRIT

Mastering QUTRIT

What exactly is a "3-Way Chat"?
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.
What is "Cross-check"?
Imagine getting a second opinion from another expert. You can have one AI verify and evaluate the other AI's answer, which can lead to more developed ideas or make it easier to spot AI-specific lies (hallucinations).
Why does the AI always seem to agree with me? (The "Yes-man" problem)

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.

Is there a personalization feature?
QUTRIT does not have a personalization feature at this time. If the AI learns the user's preferences too much, it may prioritize answering "what the user wants to hear," risking bias. QUTRIT prioritizes providing a flat and objective perspective at all times.

Basic Information

What is QUTRIT?
It is a desktop application for Windows that integrates two generative AIs, Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT, enabling dialogue between three parties including the user.
What is the difference between "Self-Serve Mode" and "Managed Mode"?
"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.
What is an "API Key"?
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".
Can I use it for free?
Yes. Both modes offer a free trial. Although there are functional limitations, please try out what a 3-way dialogue is like.
How many hours can I chat in the paid plan?
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.
Can I use it on Mac or Linux?
Currently, it is only available for Windows 10/11 (64bit). Support for macOS is under consideration for the future.
Is there a smartphone version?
Currently, only the Windows desktop version is provided, and there is no smartphone version (iOS/Android).
Does it support languages other than English?
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.

Features & Specifications

Where is conversation data stored?
All conversation data is stored only on your computer (locally). Conversation history is never stored on cloud servers, ensuring high privacy.
Are API keys stored safely?
Yes. Your API keys used in Self-Serve Mode are encrypted and safely stored using the Windows Credential Manager.
Is an internet connection required?
Yes. An internet connection is required to perform AI inference processing (communication with APIs). It cannot be used offline.
What is "Knowledge Base (RAG)"?
It is a feature that allows you to register your documents (PDF, text, etc.) in advance and have the AI answer based on the content of those documents. It is useful for registering internal manuals, papers, etc.
What kind of files can be registered in the Knowledge Base?
Various files such as PDF files, text files, CSV, and program code are supported. In particular, visual information such as graphs, charts, and images in PDFs can be understood by the AI, so the AI can answer questions like "How was last year's sales trend?".
Difference between Knowledge base and file attachment
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 knowledge base functions like a dictionary that the AI can look up as needed across any chat. It is the best practice to use both together: attach files within chats for one-off questions, and use the knowledge base for long term data such as your project files.
Where is the Knowledge Base stored?
All data registered in the Knowledge Base is stored only on your computer (locally). The AI only accesses the information temporarily when needed, and your data is not stored in the cloud, so high privacy is maintained.
Can QUTRIT generate images or videos?
No. In QUTRIT, both Gemini and ChatGPT only output text.

Other
