Here you will find short answers to the most common questions about Beyond Chat. For details, we link to the matching article in each answer.
Models and credits
How many credits does each model use per request?
The model info card shows the cost on a scale of 1 to 5. For the exact breakdown per model, see the cost overview; the price calculator gives you a feeling for your costs.
How does the credit system work?
Credits apply to your entire company; all users share the balance. The rule is: 100 credits = €1. How much a request uses depends on the model and the message length. For reference: an average user sends around 95 messages per month and uses about €3 in credits. All details in the article How do credits work in Beyond Chat?
What happens when my credits are used up?
Your company receives a monthly Base Credit package. Once it is used up, you can buy Flex Credits under Settings → Billing (€25 per purchase, a maximum of 3 purchases per month). Flex Credits never expire. With Auto-Recharge this happens automatically. If the package regularly falls short, increase the package size.
How can I monitor our credit usage?
Under Settings → Analytics you can see usage per user and per model. In model management you can disable cost-intensive models or restrict them to specific groups.
Features and working in the chat
How do I use assistant templates effectively?
Click the three dots in the top right of the assistant, then click Clone. Then adapt the system prompt to your use case or add a knowledge base.
How do I share assistants, prompts or knowledge bases with my team?
In the settings of the respective asset, open Access rights and share it with a specific group or with your entire company.
How do I optimize my prompts for better results?
Use the Magic Prompt button: it analyzes and improves your input automatically. For system prompts of new assistants, Prompto, the prompt engineer (among the Pre-Built assistants) helps you. You will find in-depth guides in the article Prompts in Beyond Chat.
What should I do when the context window is exceeded?
Switch to a model with a larger context window or start a new chat. You can summarize long chats with the "Memory Mover" prompt and use the result as a briefing for the new chat. Keep in mind: chat history and uploaded documents count toward the context window.
Security and data protection
Where is my data stored and processed?
All data you enter or upload in Beyond Chat is stored on secure German servers (Google Cloud). To process your request, it is transferred to the respective LLM server location, processed there and deleted after a defined period. The model info card shows you which models are EU-hosted.
Is my input used to train the AI models?
No. Your input is never used to train the AI models.
What about GDPR compliance?
Beyond the Loop is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified. You will find all details about our security practices in our Trust Center. In addition, anonymization automatically protects personal data before it reaches a model.
Administration
How do I monitor my team's AI usage?
Under Settings → Analytics you can see engagement, power users, credits and messages per user, usage per model and the most popular assistants. All reports can be exported as CSV. Details in the article Analytics: Understanding AI Usage in Your Company.
Can administrators see the contents of employee chats?
No. Administrators only see metadata such as the number of messages sent, never the contents of the chats.
How do I enforce our usage guidelines?
In Company Settings, customize the Security Disclaimer and link your AI policy there. Via group permissions you additionally control who may use which features.
Troubleshooting and support
Why is a specific model not available?
First check the cost overview: it lists all integrated models. If a model is listed but not shown to you, it was probably disabled by your admin in model management or is only available to specific groups. If a model is missing entirely, feel free to ask support.
What should I do about slow response times?
Models respond at different speeds; reasoning models in particular need extra thinking time. Check the speed (tokens per second) in the model info card and pick a faster model if needed, or let the Smart Router choose.
How do I report technical problems?
Right here in the chat: open a new chat with Fin and click "I want to report a problem 🚧". We will take care of it promptly.
Billing and contracts
How do I change the details on my invoice?
Go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription. In the billing portal you can change the address and company name for your invoices.
How do upgrades and contract terms work?
The subscription can be cancelled monthly; with an annual plan you save 10%. Upgrades are done via Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription; amounts already paid for the current month are credited automatically.
Where can I find more information?
