Frequently asked questions

What is Ask TechCompare?
Ask TechCompare is an AI assistant that helps you find the right tech tool for your task. Instead of browsing 27 different calculators, you describe what you want to do in plain English and the AI picks the best tool, asks for any missing details, and opens it prefilled with your values.
How does Ask TechCompare work?
You type a natural-language question like 'compare a 27 and 32 inch monitor' or 'how much VRAM for llama 70b at q4'. The AI identifies which of TechCompare's 27 tools fits your question, asks follow-up questions if needed (with clickable option buttons), and then opens the tool with all your values already filled in.
What can I ask Ask TechCompare?
Anything related to the tools on TechCompare: monitor and TV size comparisons, display curvature, aspect ratios, PPI calculations, viewing distance, desk setup planning, RAID capacity, subnet calculations, chmod permissions, cron expressions, data transfer times, power costs, LLM VRAM requirements, LLM API pricing, password generation, color picking, contrast checking, and more.
Does Ask TechCompare store my conversation?
No. Conversations live entirely in your browser and are not persisted server-side. Each conversation is a bounded multi-turn Q&A that ends when the AI opens a tool for you. There's no chat history, no account, and no data retention.
Is Ask TechCompare free to use?
Yes, completely free. It's powered by an AI model hosted on DeepInfra, and rate-limited to 10 requests per hour and 100 per week per IP to keep costs sustainable. No signup or payment required.
Why did the AI ask me a question instead of opening a tool?
If your initial message doesn't include enough detail (for example, 'I want to compare two monitors' without specifying sizes), the AI will ask follow-up questions one at a time before opening the tool. This ensures the tool opens with the right values instead of defaults you didn't choose. Each question shows a progress indicator like 'Question 2 of 3' so you know how many questions remain.
