How to chat with Alphio AI
Talk to Alphio AI in plain language to research markets, analyze positions, and trigger trades.
Find it at: /chat — also reachable from the quick-action chip in the top bar of every page.
1. Starting a conversation
There are three ways to start a conversation with Alphio AI:
- Open
/chat. A fresh chat surface with an input box and a row of quick-action chips. - Top-bar quick action. Click the chat / "Ask Alphio" entry from any page; the chat opens with a pre-filled prefix matching that action.
- From an asset detail page or card. Most asset cards and detail views expose an "Ask Alphio" affordance that opens chat seeded with that ticker.
Type your question and press Enter to send (Shift+Enter for a newline). Each new conversation creates a session you can return to later.
2. What you can ask
Alphio AI handles five broad categories of conversation. Examples below are representative — phrase them however you like.
| Category | Example prompt |
|---|---|
| Research | "Tell me about NVDA's last earnings." |
| Analysis | "Is BTC overbought right now?" |
| Comparison | "Compare AAPL vs MSFT cash flow over the last 4 quarters." |
| Trade intent | "Long ETH with 2x leverage on Hyperliquid." |
| Workflow setup | "Alert me when SOL hits 200." |
Trade-intent and workflow prompts route through Alphio AI's planning step. For trade intents, an order Trade Modal opens for your approval. For workflow prompts (alerts, scheduled briefs, monitoring), Alphio AI creates a Task that runs in the background — see Deep-research tasks.
3. Sessions
Every conversation is stored as a session. The session sidebar gives you full control over your history.
- Open the drawer. Click History in the top-right of the chat page. The drawer slides in from the right on desktop and bottom on mobile.
- Switch sessions. Sessions are grouped by recency (
5m ago,2h ago,Monday, May 12). Click any row to jump into it; the chat scrolls to the latest message. - Rename. Open the row's
⋮menu, choose Rename, type a new title, and press Enter. - Delete. Open the
⋮menu and choose Delete. You'll see a confirmation prompt. - Start a new chat. Click the New Chat pill on the right side of the input bar.
4. Quick actions
The chips above the input box are pre-built prompts that save typing for common asks. They're configured server-side so the exact list may evolve.
- Single-prefix chips. Click once — the prefix drops into the input and you finish the sentence.
- Multi-prefix chips. Tap to expand a popover with several phrasings; pick one to fill the input.
- Ticker-bound chips. Some chips (e.g. "Technical Analysis on") open a symbol search dialog so you pick the stock or coin first, then Alphio AI builds the full message.
- Link chips. A few quick actions deep-link to research pages instead of starting a chat.
5. Voice input
When your browser supports the Web Speech API, a microphone button appears next to the send button.
- Hold to speak. Press and hold the mic; release to stop. A live overlay shows the volume meter and the partial transcript as you talk.
- Continuous append. If the input already has text, the transcribed words are appended after a space — useful for dictating long prompts in chunks.
- Language. Recognition language follows your current Alphio UI locale (e.g. English, Mandarin, Japanese).
Voice input works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Some embedded browsers (WeChat, in-app webviews) may not expose the speech API.
6. Rating answers
Every Alphio AI reply has an action row beneath it.
- Copy. Copy the full markdown answer to your clipboard.
- Dislike. Opens a popover where you can leave an optional note explaining what went wrong. Feedback is logged against the message ID and used to improve future responses.
- Regenerate / share. Available in upcoming releases; the buttons may not yet be visible in your build.
The exact rating UI (thumbs-up, share, regenerate) is being finalized. Confirm with the product team before relying on these affordances in a tutorial.
If you need information not on this page, you can query the docs dynamically by sending a GET request with the ask query parameter:
GET https://docs.alphio.ai/chat/how-to-chat.md?ask=<question>The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response includes a direct answer plus relevant excerpts and sources.
