Quick Start Guide

Get Started in 3 Minutes

SOHAM requires no signup. Open chat, type your question, and the AI picks the best model automatically. Here's everything you need to know to get the most out of it.

Step-by-Step Setup

1

Open the Chat Interface

Navigate to https://soham-ai.vercel.app/chat or click the Chat button from the homepage. No account needed.

Try these first prompts:

  • • "Explain how React hooks work with an example"
  • • "Write a Python function to reverse a linked list"
  • • "What's the latest news in AI today?" (triggers web search)
  • • "Solve x² + 5x + 6 = 0 step by step"

Configure Your Preferences

Click the settings icon (⚙️) in the header to customize your experience:

AI Model

Leave on "Auto" — SOHAM picks the best model per query. Or choose manually from 13+ options.

Response Tone

Helpful (default), Formal, or Casual. Affects how the AI phrases answers.

Technical Level

Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert. Controls explanation depth and jargon.

Voice (TTS)

Enable speech output and pick a voice: troy, diana, hannah, autumn, austin, or daniel.

Try Slash Commands

Slash commands route your query to a specialized pipeline for better results:

/solveMath, coding, logic problems
/solve ∫(2x³ - 5x + 1)dx
/searchReal-time web search with source links
/search latest Next.js 15 features
/summarizeCondense long text into key points
/summarize [paste article here]

💡 You don't always need slash commands. Asking "what's the weather in Tokyo?" or "who is the CEO of OpenAI?" automatically triggers web search.
