Short answer
When you select Chat with Index Only, AskTuring’s responses are based only on the documents in your selected Index (or your selected files/folders if using Focus On). No public AI knowledge is used.

Full explanation
AskTuring can combine your Index data with publicly available AI knowledge for broader answers. However, if you need the AI to respond exclusively from your uploaded and indexed documents, select Chat with Index Only in the chat box.

This ensures that:

  • The AI ignores public data and focuses 100% on your documents.

  • Answers are grounded in your verified, trusted sources.

  • Confidential or industry-specific information stays accurate and secure.

Tip

  • You can combine Chat with Index Only with the Focus On menu to restrict answers to only specific folders or files within your Index. See: [Can I limit AI responses to certain folders or files?]
