What is Thelio?
ThelioAI is a unique AI personal assistant that operates directly on WhatsApp, allowing users to access advanced AI capabilities through familiar messaging. Powered by GPT-4o, it serves as a dynamic and live personal assistant that users can interact with for a wide variety of productivity and creativity tasks. The core differentiator is its Knowledge Base AI feature, which lets users train their own custom GPT-4o assistant on their personal files including PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files.
Key features include AI chat with GPT-4o for answering questions and drafting content, live internet browsing for real-time information, news search, Google search, YouTube search, shopping search, and places search. It also offers article and YouTube video summarization by sending links, AI multi-modal chat where users can send images with captions for the AI to understand, and customizable AI personality settings. The tool supports 1024x1024 resolution image generation through DALL·E 2 for visual creativity needs.
ThelioAI is designed for professionals, students, busy individuals, and anyone who wants AI assistance without leaving WhatsApp. It's particularly useful for people who need quick answers on-the-go, want to summarize long articles or videos, need help with business documents, want wellness advice, need restaurant or trip recommendations, or want to stay updated on latest news. The WhatsApp-based approach makes it accessible to non-technical users who prefer messaging over complex interfaces.

Frequently asked questions about Thelio
What is ThelioAI?
ThelioAI is a unique AI personal assistant on WhatsApp powered by GPT-4o that offers productivity features including chat with real-time internet access, article and YouTube video summarization, knowledge base AI trained on your files, image generation with DALL·E 2, multi-modal chat with images, and customizable AI personality. It functions as a dynamic and live personal assistant accessible directly through WhatsApp messaging.
How do I use Knowledge Base AI?
To use Knowledge Base AI, send one file at a time without a caption to Thelio on WhatsApp. Wait for the AI training to succeed (you'll receive an 'AI training succeeded' message). Once trained, ask questions about your files by starting your message with 'from my knowledge base...' followed by your question. You can delete uploaded files by sending 'manage my knowledge base' to Thelio.
What file formats are supported?
ThelioAI supports Plain Text files (.txt), PDF files (.pdf), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt or .pptx), and Word documents (.doc or .docx). Each individual file cannot exceed 100MB due to WhatsApp's per-file upload limit.
Is there a free version of ThelioAI?
ThelioAI offers a 15-message free trial. After the trial用完, you need to subscribe to one of three paid tiers: Thelio Mini ($3.99/month), Thelio Plus ($6.99/month), or Thelio Premium ($8.99/month). There is no permanently free tier.
How do I customize the AI's personality?
You can customize the AI's personality by sending a message like: 'customize my ai persona to: You are a friendly assistant called Becky & you are incredibly light-hearted, you use emoji's all the time, you have a super lovable tone and you are always very excited!' You can define any persona characteristics you want.

All use live internet browsing.
How do I summarize articles or YouTube videos?
To summarize a web article, send the article link to Thelio with a prompt like 'provide the main points of this article [URL]'. To summarize a YouTube video, send the YouTube link with a prompt like 'summarize this shark tank episode [URL]'. Both are powered by ThelioAI's Article Parser/YouTube Parser and GPT-4o.
How do image generation and multi-modal chat work?
For image generation, send a message describing the image you want and Thelio will create a 1024x1024 resolution image using DALL·E 2. For multi-modal chat, send an image with a caption to prompt it - the AI will understand both the image content and your caption prompt using GPT-4o's visual recognition capabilities.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can stop your subscription anytime by going to the ThelioAI customer portal. You'll need to enter the email address you used at checkout when subscribing to the service in order to login and manage/cancel your subscription.
