Model configuration
The AI model configured for Zia applies to all AI-powered capabilities in QEngine. You cannot select different models for different features.

API keys are generated and managed from the respective provider's platform. Ensure the key is active and valid before connecting it in QEngine.
Rate limits
API rate limits may apply since these are restrictions that the AI provider imposes on the number of times a user can access their services within a specified period of time, and vary based on their usage tier and the model consumed.
Rate limits for AI models can be referred to from the respective provider's official documentation.
Privacy
It is recommended not to include sensitive or confidential information in prompts while using Zia.
Zoho GenAI is Zoho's proprietary AI model, built and trained entirely within Zoho's infrastructure. Your data remains protected within Zoho's ecosystem.
