Key Features

ChatLabs is an advanced platform with a variety of powerful AI tools and features, and knowing them may significantly improve how you do tasks with the help of AI.

While ChatLabs includes a chatbot, it is far more than that. With over 100 AI models, image generation, file handling, and even no-code app building, ChatLabs transforms how you interact with AI on an everyday level. This chapter will guide you through the key features and explain how to use them.

1. Multi-Model Access

ChatLabs gives users access to about 100 different AI models. These include cutting-edge Pro models from major providers like Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, Stability AI, and Google Gemini. This multi-model approach allows users to choose the best model for their needs. Those needs often depend on factors like speed, accuracy, and price, or on very certain use cases that each model is best at.

How to Access Models:

• Open the Model Selection menu in ChatLabs. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of models listed with their details.

• You can sort the models by speed, cost, and quality to select the one that fits your task best.

• Try experimenting with different models for different tasks. For example, OpenAI's models might be best for natural language tasks, while Stability AI's models could be ideal for image generation.

2. Model Comparison

One of the standout features of ChatLabs is the ability to compare AI models. When you open the comparison tool, you can view side-by-side details of different AI models. This includes performance metrics like response time, price per use, and accuracy based on various benchmarks.

Steps to Compare Models:

• Navigate to the Split View section in the menu on the right.

• Select the models you want to compare.

• The interface will show you key details such as speed, cost per query, and more. You will directly see, how different models work with the same prompts.

This feature is particularly useful if you want to balance cost-efficiency with high-quality results or you want to learn more about various AI models in practice.

3. Image Generation

ChatLabs supports powerful image generation tools such as DALLE-3, Stable Diffusion 3, and FLUX.1. These models allow you to create detailed images from simple text prompts. Whether you need graphics for a blog, presentation, or website, this tool can bring your ideas to life.

How to Generate Images:

• Open the plugin menu (puzzle symbol), then you will see various AI models that generate images.

• Select from DALLE-3, Stable Diffusion, or FLUX.1.

• Enter a brief description of the image you want to create, and the AI will generate it in seconds.

Experiment with different models to see which one gives you the best visual results. For example, DALLE-3 is known for generating high-quality, artistic images, while Stable Diffusion excels at complex designs and backgrounds and offers more flexibility.

4. No-Code Builder

With the No-Code Builder, you can create your own mini apps without writing any code (for example, for SEO or other needs). These apps can be placed on your website to engage visitors and drive organic traffic. Alternatively, you can also use them yourself, with your group or company.

How to Build Mini Apps:

• Go to the No-Code Builder in the 'Assistants' menu.

• Choose one of the existing options or write about a tool you would like to build. No code, all human language. Set the functionality of your app and what it should do.

• Ask to make certain changes to the code, functions or the design. Once you're happy with the result, copy and embed the code on your website.

This feature is particularly useful for businesses and bloggers who want to enhance their online presence with interactive tools without hiring developers.

5. Voice Input

For users who prefer speaking over typing, ChatLabs offers Voice Input. This feature allows you to dictate prompts directly into the system, making it easier and faster to interact with AI, especially when you’re multitasking or on the go.

Using Voice Input:

• Click the microphone icon in the chat box.

• Start speaking your prompt, and the system will transcribe it automatically.

• This feature works with all models, making it convenient for hands-free interaction or in cases where you need to make prompts on the go, without writing them start to finish.

6. Text-to-Speech

The Text-to-Speech feature lets you listen to the AI’s responses instead of reading them. This can be useful if you’re driving, exercising, or simply prefer listening.

How to Use Text-to-Speech:

• After receiving an AI response, click the playback button to hear the text read aloud.

• Adjust the speed and voice settings according to your preference.

Text-to-Speech enhances accessibility for users with visual impairments or those who just want a more interactive experience.

7. Chat with Files

One of the most powerful features of ChatLabs is the ability to chat with files. This means you can upload documents like PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets, and even images, then ask the AI questions about the content. All AI models can now read and analyze files, at least inside ChatLabs.

Steps to Chat with Files:

• Click the Upload File button and select the file you want to use.

• Once uploaded, you can ask questions like “Summarize this report” or “What are the key points in this PDF?”

This feature is particularly useful for students, researchers, and business professionals who need to quickly analyze or extract information from large files.

8. AI Web Search

The AI Web Search tool allows you to browse the web and get up-to-date information directly within ChatLabs. This may be done with any AI model, not just those thatsupport web search 'out of the box'. This means you can search for the latest news, research, or specific topics without leaving the platform using any model of your choice.

Using AI Web Search:

• Click the Web Search section in 'plugins', this will turn it on. Some of AI models do have this web search included already (f.e. Gemini).

• Enter your query, and the AI will retrieve the most relevant and recent information from the web.

This is ideal for users who need real-time updates or information on current events.

9. Pre-Built and Custom Assistants

ChatLabs also offers AI Assistants, which are pre-built to handle specific tasks. You can choose from a range of assistants designed for content writing, customer service, data analysis, and more. Additionally, users have the option to create custom assistants that are tailored to their unique needs.

Using Assistants:

• Go to the Assistants section in the menu.

• Select from the list of pre-built assistants or follow the guide to create your own.

These assistants can automate workflows and improve productivity by handling repetitive tasks like answering customer inquiries or organizing data.
