The home page shows available credit, allocations and usage visible in the workspace. Check the selected company and distinguish allocated credit from the main account's remaining availability. Detailed transactions appear in Plafond e consumi.
Start a conversation
Location: Chat AI.
- Check the workspace and usable allocation.
- Choose a model from the catalog, or switchyard when available.
- Set the displayed generation options supported by the model.
- Write your message and add any attachments.
- Send and wait for the answer to complete.
Answers can arrive progressively. Visible reasoning, tool calls and counters depend on the model and protocol. When Switchyard selects a target, routing and answer usage are recorded separately.
Attachments
UTF-8 text, text-based PDFs and DOCX files are extracted locally. A scan without text does not automatically become a readable document; it requires an image workflow with a compatible vision model.
Images and audio are not anonymized by the PII filter. Assess their contents before sending them. See Files and media.
Saved conversations
The portal saves a conversation after a completed answer. Conversations are encrypted in the database and expire 30 days after their latest save. Selecting a saved conversation restores its available content.
A new conversation does not automatically remember previous ones. Stateless Chat Completions and stored Responses contexts have different rules; see Responses and context.
Stop or retry
Stopping closes the response transport, but the provider may already have processed part of the request. Without final counters, credit may stay reserved pending reconciliation. Sending again creates a new request and may incur a new charge.
If a model is missing or a request is refused, check Models and policies and Troubleshooting.
