Getting Started

What is Aristotle?

Aristotle is an AI-powered platform designed to assist with learning, research, and understanding complex topics. It offers various AI models, tools like whiteboards and calculators, and features like file attachments and chat organization ("Spaces").

How do I start a new chat?

Click the '+' (Plus) icon in the main sidebar on the left. This will clear the current chat view and allow you to start a fresh conversation. If you are logged in, your chat will be saved automatically under 'Library' in the 'Home' section.

Do I need an account?

You can use some basic features without an account. However, creating a free account (using Google or email link) allows you to save chat history, access more models, create Spaces, and use features beyond the initial limits.

Features & Functionality

What AI models can I use?

Aristotle provides access to several leading AI models (like GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet, Gemini Pro). You can select your preferred model using the 'Model' icon (bar chart) in the input area when starting a new chat or the 'Default' model will be used. Some advanced models may require a Pro subscription.

How do I attach files?

Click the 'Link' icon in the input bar at the bottom or drag and drop files directly onto the application window. You can attach various file types, including images, documents, and short videos (check size limits). Attached files will be considered as context for the AI's response.

How do I edit my messages?

Hover over a message you sent. If editing is available, a 'Pencil' icon will appear. Click it to modify your message. After editing, the conversation will regenerate from that point onwards based on your changed input. You can also navigate between different versions of your edited message using the arrows that appear on hover.

What are Spaces?

Spaces are dedicated workspaces for specific projects, subjects, or collaborations. You can create a Space to set custom instructions for the AI that apply to all chats within that Space, helping to tailor the AI's behavior for specific needs. Access Spaces via the 'Sparkles' icon in the sidebar.

What are the Whiteboard, Graphing, and Calculator tools?

These are integrated tools accessible from the input bar (icons for Circuit Board, Git Graph, Calculator). They open in a right-hand drawer:

  • Whiteboard: A digital canvas powered by tldraw for sketching ideas, diagrams, or notes.
  • Graphing: An embedded Desmos graphing calculator for plotting functions and data.
  • Calculator: An embedded Desmos scientific calculator for computations.

These tools are for your use and do not directly interact with the AI chat content unless you describe or paste content from them into the chat.

Is my data secure and private?
