Standard/Lite Quick Start

Create your account, set your profile, learn the chat, ask your first question, upload a photo, and save answers.

Overview

This guide helps you start using CodeBuddy with a Lite plan. You'll set up your profile, learn the chat, ask your first questions, upload a photo, and save your results. You'll also see what Pro adds.

1) Create Your Account

• Check your email for an invite (or sign up if your company allows self-serve).
• Choose a strong password you won't reuse elsewhere.
• Accept your company's terms if prompted.

2) Set Your Profile

• Choose your trade or specialty.
• Add your experience level.
• Set your location (helps when answers relate to local differences).
• Optional: Add a short "about me" so teammates know what you handle.

3) Learn the Chat

• Pick a Specialist (if you see multiple).
• In the message box, write what you need:
  • "What's the requirement for [topic]?"
  • "Can you outline steps for [task]?"
• Press Send. You'll see the answer appear below.

Tip: Ask one question at a time for the clearest result.

4) Ask Your First Question

• Keep it short and specific.
• If something isn't clear, ask a follow-up right away.
• Use simple words for faster, clearer answers.

5) Understand the Response

• You may see:
  • A short summary.
  • A list of steps.
  • Visuals (illustrations or tables) when they help.
• If something seems off, ask, "Can you clarify point #2?" or "Show me the part that matters most."

6) Photo Upload Basics

• You can add a photo or screenshot to help explain a situation.
• Take a clear picture with good lighting.
• You can send a photo by itself, without any text, if that's faster.
• If your photo didn't upload, try a smaller image or better connection.

7) Save and Organize

• Bookmark or save answers you want to remember.
• Share a link with a teammate when you need quick alignment.
• If you expect to ask the same thing again, keep the conversation open and reuse it.

8) Plan Limits and Upgrades

• Lite plan focuses on core chat features.
• Pro plan adds:
  • More powerful photo handling.
  • Talking to CodeBuddy by voice.
  • Shared content for teams.
• If you need Pro features, ask your Admin or check your account's upgrade option.

You're all set to handle your day-to-day questions with CodeBuddy Lite.
