FAQ

Q: What if I can't see the welcome page? A: The welcome page has two configuration items: language configuration and LLM Provider configuration. Once you've configured an LLM Provider, the welcome page will not be shown again. Subsequent configurations can be made through the settings icon in the top right corner, or you can click the "Reset" button at the bottom of the settings page to show the welcome page again (Note: resetting will clear all configurations for this extension, use with caution).

Q: Where can I get the API Key? A: Quick links are provided below the API Key input field on the configuration page, which will direct you to the respective LLM Provider's application page.

Q: How do I change the language? A: You can change the interface language at any time in the settings page, and the changes will take effect immediately.
