How requests are handled

You choose what is sent

AskAny.ai works with the text, files, screenshots, voice, or prompts you deliberately submit. That context is sent to the model route you select and the response is returned to your app.

Request lifecycle

Four clear steps

The same flow applies whether you use an AskAny-hosted model or a supported personal provider key.

01

Choose context

Select the text, files, screenshot, voice, or prompt needed for the task.

02

Choose a model

Pick a hosted model or a supported model connected through your provider key.

03

Process the request

The selected provider processes the submitted context and generates a response.

04

Use the result

Review, copy, replace, continue, save, or delete the result from AskAny.ai.

Your routing options

Hosted convenience or your own provider account

Use AskAny-managed models with credits, or connect a supported personal provider key on Pro or Max and keep the same desktop workflow without consuming AskAny credits for eligible requests.

Explore model routing and BYOK

Hosted models

Choose from supported AskAny-managed models. Usage is deducted from your AskAny credit balance.

Personal BYOK

Supported requests use your provider account and billing. They do not deduct AskAny credits.

Optional history

Keep chats for continuity or delete individual chats and all saved chats from Settings.

Deletion controls

Delete saved content when you no longer need it

Deleting a chat removes its saved messages and associated files from AskAny.ai active systems.

Saved conversation

Prompts, model responses, and saved conversation content are removed.

Associated files

Files and generated media associated only with the deleted chat are removed from active storage.

Required records

Limited billing, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, and legal records may remain without the deleted chat content.

AI providers apply their own retention terms to requests already processed. Time-limited encrypted backups may also remain until their normal lifecycle expires.
