Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting Steps
We get it, problems happen. That's why we built the following guide to help you out!
How does PurAI work?
PurAI is a free way to interact with essenetial AI technology.
It provides free access to chat completion models (gpt-3.5-turbo, etc), completion models (bard, etc), document analysis models (layoutlm-document-qa, etc), moderation models (text-moderation-005, etc), image generation models (kandisky-2, etc) and so much more. We do this by combining many free APIs together to make a provider pool that ensures semi-consistent uptime and a diverse range of AI services.
All for free.

Is the API down?
- Go to alerts. If there is a new alert, READ it. This means the API might be down. If not, skip to the next step.
- Go to api-status.
- Read the embeds.
- Are all providers online? look at the Provider Status embed
- Are you using a third party service? look for
third-party/chat/completionsin the Endpoint Status embed
- If the endpoint/service/provider has an ❌ next to it, it's offline, thus it's down.
