At Askhandle, we maintain strict guidelines to ensure that our AI systems are developed in a safe, ethical, and responsible manner. To protect the integrity of our platform and ensure AI safety, we do not allow the upload of certain types of content for training or fine-tuning AI.

Prohibited Content for AI Training and Fine-Tuning

AskHandle’s AI is built around text-based training and fine-tuning, meaning that only text can be used to set up and train your AI. If you try to import content that includes images or videos—such as a webpage with visual elements or files that embed multimedia content—the AI will not be able to process that information. Fine-tuning can only occur when the imported data is purely text-based.

You can use one, two, or all three methods depending on your needs.

At AskHandle, we leverage AI to not only answer customer inquiries but to ensure those responses are directly relevant. The AI Answer Relevance Score plays a key role in evaluating how closely the AI’s responses address a user’s question, helping to refine the quality of answers.
