Good evening, Paul
Ask anything. Your bots pick the cheapest engine that can do the job.
Ask anything. Your bots pick the cheapest engine that can do the job.
Picked on this device from keywords in your message. No extra AI call, nothing sent but the ids.
Build: everyday help, writing, listings and code. Cheapest, and the default.
Research: searches the web first and lists its sources under the reply. A little more per question (about 0.2โ2p).
Hard: a premium model for tricky problems. It costs the most, so save it for when Build isn't good enough. Web: off/on lets Hard search too.
Auto (recommended) uses cheap Gemini in the cloud, with Grok as a paid backup. Auto is the only engine that can read photos.
Grok and Grok premium always use Grok.
PC models (Llama, Qwen, Mistral) run free on your home PC. The PC must be on and awake, otherwise you'll see "Your PC is offline".
Tap ๏ผ next to the microphone, then ๐ Photo or file. Add up to 3 photos, or text files (.txt .md .csv .json). Type a question, or just send.
Photos are shrunk on your phone and read by Auto with that one message. They're not saved on the server or in your chat history; only the file name is kept. PC models can't see photos.
Every night at 2am your PC researches one topic for free and writes a short note. The note appears in โฐ menu โ Research updates by itself (the PC must be on).
Tap Ask about this on a note to turn it into next steps.
Get a notification when a new note lands. Settings โ Research alerts โ Turn on alerts โ Allow. Then tap Send test alert to check.
Android (Chrome): works in Chrome or the installed app. If you tapped Block: Chrome โฎ โ Settings โ Site settings โ Notifications โ allow marquis-engine.pages.dev.
The alert only says "new note". The note itself stays behind your access code.
Off unless you turn it on. When it's on, your chats, custom bots, Teach lessons and playbook on/off settings are saved to your server and appear on every device where you've turned it on, so your PC and phone have the same bots.
First device: Settings โ Sync chats across devices โ Turn on sync. Choose a sync passphrase (at least 10 characters, different from your access code), type it twice, then tap Turn on sync. A backup file of your chats downloads first, just in case.
Each other device: sign in with the same access code, then do the same steps with the same passphrase. Chats, bots and lessons from both devices are merged, so nothing is overwritten. If the same bot was edited on both, the newest edit wins.
Everything is locked with your passphrase on the device. The server can't read it, and nobody can recover a forgotten passphrase. Photos and file contents aren't synced. Changes sync within about a minute, and when you open the app. Sync now syncs straight away. Offline? It catches up when you're back online.
A chat, bot or lesson deleted on one device is deleted on the others too. Remove synced chats from server deletes the server copies only. Chats already on your devices stay.
Bots are specialists (for example a listing writer). Pick one from the M chip under the message box, or keep Standard.
Playbooks are short methods added automatically when your question matches them. There's no extra charge.
Teach your bots saves facts and preferences on this phone. Only the few that matter go with each question.
๐ค lets you speak instead of typing. ๐ at the top reads replies aloud for free, using your phone's own voice.
Chats are stored on this device only, unless you turn on Sync chats across devices (encrypted with your passphrase first). API keys stay on the server. Your monthly cost estimate is in Settings.
"Access code didn't work": tap Send and type your code again.
"No connection": check your signal or Wi-Fi, then tap Try again on the message.
"Your PC is offline": switch the engine to Auto, or wake the PC.
"Too many tries": wait a few minutes and try again.
App looks old? Close and reopen it. If โจ Update ready appears, tap Update now. It waits for a reply to finish and keeps anything you've typed. You can also use Settings โ Check for updates.
Every menu, panel and sheet has Back at the top left. It takes you one step back, for example from Help to Settings, or from Bots to the โฐ menu. ร closes everything and returns to the chat.
On Android, the phone's back button or swipe does the same, so it closes the menu instead of leaving the app.
The app is now called Mossy's Bots. The web address hasn't changed, so the icon you have keeps working.
Android (Chrome): Chrome checks installed apps for changes about once a day when you open them, then updates them in the background, often only when the phone is charging and on Wi-Fi. It may ask you to accept the new name. That can take a few days.
To change it now: long-press the icon โ Uninstall or Remove, then open marquis-engine.pages.dev in Chrome โ โฎ โ Add to Home screen (or Install app). Your chats and saved code are kept by Chrome for the site, not by the icon, so they stay (just don't clear Chrome's data for the site). Removing the app also removes its notification permission, so turn Research alerts on again afterwards.
iPhone: the Home Screen name is set when you add it. To change it, remove the icon and add it again from Safari (Share โ Add to Home Screen).
Auto is the cheapest and the only engine that can read photos. PC models are free but need your home PC switched on.
