# AI Playground

> Try a prompt on any model, or two models side by side, and see what each reply costs.

Try FetchskiAI out in the AI Playground, a test chat that visitors never see. Ask it anything, choose the model that answers, or put two models side by side and keep the better reply. Every reply shows what it cost.

A model is the AI system that writes the answer. Each one has its own strengths and price, and your site's default is a good place to start.

&#x20;**Who can do this:** Admins and Owners.

## Before you start

* FetchskiAI must be turned on for your site. See [FetchskiAI settings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/settings.md).
* Every reply is a real AI request. It's billed to your site's FetchskiAI budget, like any other AI feature.
* The Playground isn't private from your Admins. People who can see everyone's [FetchskiAI Recordings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/recordings.md) can read what you send here.
* The Playground knows your business's basic details from **Site settings**, such as its name and phone number. It doesn't get the **Business Context** from [Agent Setup](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/agent-setup.md), so put the facts it needs in your message.

## Ask a question

**1. Open the Playground**

In the toolbar, choose **FetchskiAI** → **AI Playground**. Or open the command palette (⌘K, or Ctrl+K on Windows) and choose **AI Playground**.

![The AI Playground window, empty: the Conversations rail with New conversation and Saved prompts on the left, the Model picker, + Compare, Skills and Diagnostics at the top, and the Telemetry rail on the right.](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/playground/fetchskiai-playground-empty-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=4f297ac840afec2691e18257faa5ad58)

The AI Playground: conversations on the left, telemetry on the right.

**2. Choose a model, or leave it**

Open **Model** at the top. The models your site's AI features run on are listed first, under **Site models**. Leave it empty, on **Site default (fallback chain)**, to use your site's fallback models.

**3. Type your message**

Write in the box that says **Ask anything…**. For example: "Write a two-sentence welcome for Parker's Puppy Playland, a dog daycare and training center in Portland, Oregon. Make it warm and playful." Choose **Send**, the round arrow button at the right of the box, or press ⌘+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) or Shift+Enter. Enter on its own starts a new line.

**4. Read the reply and its cost**

The reply appears in the chat. The **Telemetry** tab on the right shows statistics for each reply: its tokens, its cost and how quickly it started and finished. Tokens are the small pieces of text the AI reads and writes. AI is priced by the token, so a longer message or reply costs more.

![A finished reply to "Write a two-sentence welcome for a dog daycare's home page", with the Skills it could use above the reply and its Telemetry card on the right (model, tokens, cost, timing and provider).](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/playground/fetchskiai-playground-reply-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=88d4c7c3759ce41938962c3aabf50c84)

Each reply gets its own card in Telemetry.

## Compare two models

**1. At the top, choose + Compare**

In the second picker that appears, **Comparison model…**, choose the model to compare.

**2. Send your message**

Both models answer side by side.

**3. Under the reply you prefer, choose Use this reply**

It's marked **✓ Continuing from this reply**, and your next message carries on from it. This only picks the reply for the conversation. Nothing goes on your site.

If you keep typing without choosing, the conversation continues from the first model's reply. To stop comparing, choose **×** next to the second picker.

To use a reply on a page, copy its text and paste it into the page while you edit it. See [Two ways to edit](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/guides/build-pages/two-ways-to-edit.md).

![A compare turn: two replies side by side to the same prompt, the left one marked "✓ Continuing from this reply", the right one dimmed with "Use this reply instead".](https://mintcdn.com/fetchski-attract-api/14u3sY83pyWdBf8G/images/cms/fetchskiai/playground/fetchskiai-playground-compare-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=14u3sY83pyWdBf8G\&q=85\&s=917da16ec269e30184dd22e35f180612)

Compare two models and keep the better reply.

## Keep prompts you use often

Save time on prompts you repeat. A prompt is the message you send the AI.

Type the prompt in the message box, and before you send it, choose **+ Save current** under **Saved prompts** on the left. Later, choose a saved prompt to add it to the box. Point to a saved prompt to see its buttons: the pencil (✎) renames it, and **×** deletes it.

Your conversations save on their own. Choose one on the left to pick it up again, or choose **New conversation** to start fresh.

A turn is one message from you and the reply to it. The Playground keeps:

* **Up to 100 conversations.** Starting a 101st deletes the conversation you used least recently.
* **Up to 50 turns in each conversation.** Past that, its oldest turns are dropped, and the newest 50 stay.
* **Up to 50 saved prompts.** Saving a 51st deletes the one you changed least recently.

## Try your Skills

Test a Skill before your team relies on it. A [Skill](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/skills.md) is a set of instructions that teaches the AI how to do one kind of task. The **Skills** button at the top opens the **Skills** tab on the right. Under **Loaded**, it lists the Skills this conversation uses.

* **To add a Skill** to this conversation, find it under **Library**. Choose **+ Whole** to give the AI all of it from the start, or **+ On demand** to let the AI read it only when a task needs it.
* **To take a Skill out**, choose **×** on its card under **Loaded**.
* **To undo your changes**, choose **Back to assigned**.

This changes only the current conversation, never the Skills library.

## What happens next

Nothing you do in the Playground changes your site. Your conversations list is your own: other people don't see it in their Playground. While recording is on, each request also appears in [FetchskiAI Recordings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/recordings.md). Each one counts toward [Usage and budget](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/usage-and-budget.md).

## Troubleshooting

> [accordion] FetchskiAI is turned off
>
> AI features are off for your site. Choose **Open FetchskiAI settings** and turn on **Enable AI features**. See [FetchskiAI settings](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/settings.md).

> [accordion] FetchskiAI isn't set up yet
>
> Your site doesn't have its AI account yet. The message says "Contact Fetchski Support to enable FetchskiAI features on this site." Contact Fetchski Support to set it up.

> [accordion] … can't see images
>
> You attached a picture, but the chosen model only reads text. Choose another model, or remove the picture before sending.
>
> To find a model that reads pictures, open **Model** and turn on the **Vision** filter. Models that can see images show an eye icon. Likewise, the **Tools** filter (a wrench icon) finds models that can use tools such as the [Code Sandbox](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/fetchskiai/code-sandbox.md).

> [accordion] I don't see AI Playground in the menu
>
> The Playground is for Admins and Owners. Ask an Admin if you need it.

## Good to know

* **Comparing pays for both replies.** A compare turn sends your message to both models. The turn costs what the 2 replies cost together, and each model has its own price.
* **Attach files.** Use the paperclip, paste, or drop files on the chat: up to 4 pictures and up to 4 text files per message.
* **Diagnostics is for deeper testing.** Use it to see how another FetchskiAI feature, such as writing help or the blog post generator, would answer a prompt. Choose **Diagnostics** at the top, then pick the feature under **Feature instructions**. It changes only this conversation, and the reply shows the answer style, not a change to your site.
