FAQ

Is OmniBox free?

OmniBox is currently in public beta. We are considering charging for cloud resource-intensive features related to storage, PDF parsing, and audio/video parsing. We haven't decided yet whether it will be pay-as-you-go or a monthly subscription.

We hope to find a comfortable balance between user experience and commercial operation. Once we have a detailed pricing plan, we will collect feedback from our user community first.

We will continue to update and release more powerful features. You can join our user group in Contact Us to get the latest product updates!

What types of information can OmniBox collect?

• Web Content: Through OmniBox's browser extension, you can easily capture entire web pages or select specific portions to collect.
• Local Files: Convert local files into editable document content with one click.

What platforms does OmniBox support?

What is local deployment?

Local deployment refers to "deploying OmniBox cloud service on your local server or private cloud," which is completely different from a client application. It is only suitable for professional users with computer knowledge.

What are the differences between local deployment and cloud service?

• Local deployment currently does not support PDF, audio/video, and image parsing
  • These features involve 30+ models, require significant VRAM, and have complex business logic, making them very difficult to run locally
  • We plan to provide a simplified version suitable for local deployment in the future
• Local deployment does not support the WeChat Bot "XiaoHei", which can only connect to cloud service
  • WeChat Bot is essentially a plugin based on Open API. See the API documentation: Open API Documentation
  • There are currently no plans to open source the WeChat Bot code

What should I do if file upload fails after local deployment?

Please ensure that the browser you're using can directly access OBB_S3_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT. When uploading files, the system bypasses the backend and uploads directly to S3 storage.

What features does WeChat Bot have?

See: WeChat Bot

Can I use it offline?

In the case of local deployment, it can be used completely offline when combined with ollama.

How do I create an API Key?

1. Click on the space name in the top left corner
2. Click Settings
3. Select API Keys
4. Click Create API Key

Why wasn't my uploaded image parsed as a document? It's just showing one image?

For uploaded images, OmniBox first determines "whether this image is a document":

• If it is a document: It will go through the document parsing process and be saved as a parsed document
• If it is not: The image will be summarized and saved as a "document containing only one image"

How do I ask WeChat Bot a question?

By default, we automatically trigger Q&A or Save based on the content you send.

You can add a ? (English or Chinese) at the beginning to force trigger Q&A (e.g., "?Who are you")

How do I make WeChat Bot save text?

By default, we automatically trigger Q&A or Save based on the content you send.

You can add a ! (English or Chinese) at the beginning to force trigger Save (e.g., "!Who are you")

Which video platforms are not supported for parsing?

• Douyin (TikTok China) videos
• RedNote (Xiaohongshu) videos
• WeChat Video Account

Why wasn't the entire web page content saved?

During the process of parsing web pages into documents, we first identify the main content of the page. However, with the vast variety of web pages, errors can occasionally occur.
