Short answer
Yes. You can use AskTuring with its built-in shared Indexes or Model-only mode.
Full explanation
You do not need to upload your own documents to start using AskTuring. All current users have access to AskTuring’s built-in shared Indexes. These datasets are curated for specific industries, topics, or use cases and can be used as-is.
You can also work without documents by using AI-only mode, where AskTuring generates responses using only the chosen LLM’s general training. AI-only mode lets you choose between several models from multiple providers, giving you more flexibility to match the style, speed, or accuracy you prefer. This is useful for brainstorming, general research, or open-ended questions not tied to your own files.
You can switch to uploading your own documents at any time to create a private Index and get responses tailored specifically to your data.
