Use this guide to get from a new account to your first useful chat.

What you need

  • A Babbily account.
  • A supported web browser.
  • A question, task, file, or idea you want help with.

Start your first chat

1

Open Babbily

Go to Babbily and sign in. If you are new, create an account and finish onboarding.
2

Send a message

Type a clear request in the composer. For example:
3

Choose a model

Select the model pill in the composer to open the model picker. Choose Auto at the top to let Babbily pick a model for each message, or choose a named model when you want a specific balance of speed and reasoning. Your first chats start on Auto, and after that, new chats open on whatever you last chose. See Auto model selection.
4

Add files if needed

Select Attach files (+) to add images, documents, audio, video, or ZIP archives. Every chat model accepts them. See file attachments.
5

Pick tool behavior

In the same + menu, choose a tool mode: Auto, Manual, or Off. Auto tool mode lets Babbily decide when to use tools such as web search or image generation. Manual lets you choose. Off keeps the reply model-only.
6

Stop or retry if needed

While Babbily is writing, the send button becomes a stop button. Under a reply, use Retry to generate it again, or Copy response to copy it.

Save context with memory

If there is something you want Babbily to remember across chats, say it directly:
Check the memory status to confirm the save. You can review and remove saved context later in Settings > Memory, including older items marked Needs review. See memory controls.
Use memory for stable preferences and ongoing context. For one-time details, keep them in the current chat instead.

Check your usage

Your plan includes a monthly API usage budget. The usage card shows how much of that budget you have used and when it resets. Open Settings > Billing for plan and renewal details.
