Introduction
Welcome to Magai, the all-in-one generative AI platform that offers access to the world's most powerful AI chatbots, image generators, video creators, and organizational tools. This guide will walk you through the essential features of Magai's chat interface, helping you get the most value as quickly as possible.
The Dashboard
When you first sign up for Magai, you'll land on the dashboard. This hub provides:
Quick access to your recent chats
Important announcements and updates
Access to your free perks, including the AI Academy (a learning hub with weekly content updates)
A link to join Magai's private Facebook group where users discuss AI applications and help each other improve
Creating Your First Chat
The chat feature is the most frequently used capability within Magai, and for good reason—it's where much of AI's power can be harnessed.
The Input Bar
At the bottom of your chat window, you'll find the input bar where you'll type messages to the AI:
1. Basic Usage: Simply type your message and hit Enter (or the Send button) to communicate with the AI.
2. Attachment Button: Upload files that you want the AI to analyze or interact with:
Documents (PDF, Word, text files)
Images (with vision-capable AI models)
3. Enhance Button: Improve your prompting with one click
The better your prompts, the better your results ("garbage in, garbage out")
Not everyone is a natural prompt engineer, so this feature helps by:
Taking your simple prompt (e.g., "write a social media caption for this image")
Transforming it into a detailed, effective instruction (e.g., "Provide a clear and engaging social media caption for the given image. Ensure the caption is contextually relevant, creative, and appeals to the intended audience. Include a strong call to action if appropriate and optimize for platform-specific character limits.")
Options after enhancement:
Undo: Return to your original prompt
Retry: Have the AI attempt another enhancement
Clear: Start over completely
4. Speak Prompt: Use speech-to-text for hands-free interaction
Works best in Chrome browsers
Mobile users can use their device's built-in speech-to-text feature
5. Settings Button: Customize your chat experience with options for:
Input Method: Choose between:
Enter to send, Shift+Enter for new line (default)
Enter for new line, Command/Ctrl+Enter to send
Disable Scrolling: Control the automatic scrolling behavior
Copy Format: Select how text is copied to your clipboard:
Plain text (no formatting)
Rich text (compatible with Google Docs, WordPress, etc.)
Markdown (ideal for WordPress and other platforms that support it)
Choosing Your AI Model
In the chat interface, you'll find a button that opens Magai's unified model picker. Magai includes chat, image, and video models in one list:
Models have different strengths and weaknesses for different tasks
You can switch between models at any time during a chat
Filter and search for models by name or capability (including image and video models)
Sort by moderated or unmoderated models
New chats start on Claude Sonnet 5. For the current catalog, see Which AI models does Magai have access to?
Working with Agents
Agents help tailor the AI's approach to your specific needs.
In a chat, open Select Agent (the control may show a name such as Assistant). Magai describes it as: choose a specialized agent to tailor the AI's expertise and communication style.
Choose from prebuilt Agents with specialized roles
Create a custom Agent with + New Agent. The form includes name, picture, public description, instructions, Knowledge Files, and sharing toggles
The selected Agent stays on that chat until you change it
