Frequently Asked Questions about Lookio
What is Lookio?
Lookio is an advanced AI platform that allows you to build intelligent assistants using your own company documents as a dedicated knowledge base. It uses a technology called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide precise, sourced answers to complex questions by searching exclusively through the files you provide. This enables companies to create expert AI systems for tasks like customer support, content creation, and workflow automation without needing to build the technology from scratch.
Why should businesses leverage knowledge retrieval tools?
Every company manages extensive documentation: From internal expertise on markets and products to external resources like regulations, methodologies, and research reports. Employees rely on this knowledge daily for marketing content, customer support, decision-making, and more.
The challenge: Not everyone has the same expertise, and searching internal systems is cumbersome. This creates two problems:
• Time loss: Employees spend excessive time searching documents or waiting for experts to respond, creating bottlenecks and frustration.
• Skipped research: Teams bypass information gathering altogether to move quickly, compromising quality.
AI excels at retrieving relevant, high-quality information. However, building robust knowledge retrieval systems is complex. Lookio simplifies this process: Import your documents, create assistants tailored to specific use cases (customer support, marketing, internal bots), then query them through automations via API, whether through Slack bots, n8n workflows, or other integrations.
What is the difference between NotebookLM and Lookio?
NotebookLM and Lookio both use sophisticated RAG technology to transform documents into intelligent, conversational knowledge bases. The primary and most critical difference between them is that NotebookLM lacks an API (Application Programming Interface).
This lack of an API makes NotebookLM suitable for individuals or small teams but unsuitable for businesses that need to scale. Lookio, conversely, is an "API-first" platform. This means it provides the same intelligent document-understanding capabilities as NotebookLM but is specifically designed for business integration, allowing companies to automate workflows, integrate knowledge retrieval into existing tools like Slack, and build custom solutions.
Can I add an AI chat widget to my own website?
Yes! Lookio Widgets allow you to integrate one of your Assistants into a modern chat widget that appears on your website, documentation platform (like Mintlify), or internal tools.
• Significant Cost Savings: Lookio's "pay-as-you-go" credit model starts at approximately €0.02 per query, compared to €0.20 to €0.50 for native AI assistants on standard documentation platforms.
• Hybrid Knowledge Base: Unlike most documentation assistants that only use your docs, Lookio allows you to sync additional articles, proprietary documents, and dedicated Q&As to provide more comprehensive answers.
• Fast Integration: In just a few clicks, you get a 6-line script to add to your website to enable the widget.
How do I get started with Lookio?
Go from documents to automated expertise in three simple steps:
1. Upload your knowledge documents: Securely add your organization's core documents—PDFs, txt, md, images, URLs to fetch, or pasted text. Import them through the platform or via our dedicated API endpoint.
2. Configure your Assistant: Create and customize intelligent assistants with specific instructions to ensure they deliver precise responses.
3. Get answers & automate: Query your Assistant directly in the Lookio interface or use our robust API to connect Lookio to your favorite automation tools.
How does Lookio keep its knowledge up-to-date?
Beyond individual uploads, Lookio supports Sitemap Syncing. Simply provide your website's sitemap URL, and Lookio will automatically detect new pages and re-crawl existing ones when they are updated. This ensures your assistants always have access to the latest version of your content without manual work.
Can I use Lookio with AI agents like Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Use the Lookio MCP Server to connect your workspace to agents like Claude Desktop or Antigravity. This allows you to run queries, manage resources, and build assistants directly within your agent's conversation using your workspace API key.
How does the knowledge retrieval work? Is it just keyword searching?
Far from it. Lookio uses advanced AI models to understand the meaning and context of your questions, not just keywords. It intelligently searches your documents, reasons through the information, and synthesizes precise answers, much like a human expert would.
Can I try Lookio for free?
Absolutely. Every new account starts on our Free plan, which includes 100 free credits to explore the platform's full capabilities without needing a credit card. You can build an assistant, upload documents, and test both the chat interface and the API.
How does Lookio's pricing work?
Our pricing is designed for flexibility, combining subscription plans with a pay-as-you-go credit system.
1. Subscription Plans (Free, Starter, Pro): Your plan determines your Knowledge Base Limit (total words stored). Paid plans also include a monthly bundle of credits at a discounted rate.
2. Credit Packs: Credits power your queries. You can purchase credit packs at any time to top up your balance. Credits bought in packs never expire.
This hybrid model allows you to pay for storage capacity and active usage separately, ensuring you only pay for what you need.
Do my credits expire?
• Purchased Credits: Credits purchased from packs are yours forever—they never expire.
• Subscription Credits: Credits included in your monthly plan expire after 3 months if unused.
What is the difference between "Eco", "Flash", "Europe", and "Deep" query modes?
Lookio offers four modes to balance cost, speed, and depth:
• Eco Mode (1 Credit): Best for smart, cost-effective answers when immediate speed isn't the priority (~14s).
• Flash Mode (3 Credits): Perfect for getting immediate answers in routine, high-velocity workflows (~8s).
• Europe Mode (5 Credits): Highly efficient mode leveraging European AI LLM providers, precisely Mistral (~15s).
• Deep Mode (20 Credits): Designed for complex research and content creation that requires the most in-depth analysis (~25s).
How can Lookio improve my content marketing and SEO?
By building assistants that draw exclusively from your company's unique insights and proprietary data, you can scale the creation of content that reflects genuine Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T), which is highly valued by search engines like Google.
Can I use Lookio with my team?
Yes. Lookio is built for collaboration. Invite your entire team to a shared workspace where everyone can build, manage, and use your knowledge assistants together.
Why use Lookio's API?
The API is the key to unlocking true automation. It allows you to:
• Automate responses in customer support platforms.
• Generate expert-level outcomes for content pipelines.
• Build custom internal tools that leverage your private knowledge.
• Enrich data in applications by retrieving relevant information on the fly.
In what languages can I use Lookio?
The Lookio platform interface is in English. However, your assistants are multilingual! You can instruct them to answer queries and interact in any language you need by setting your preference in the assistant's custom instructions.
How can I monitor my usage and costs?
Your workspace dashboard provides a real-time breakdown of credit consumption. You can monitor usage by specific Assistant and by API key, giving you full visibility into your operations.
What happens if I run out of credits?
If your credit balance reaches zero, new queries will be paused until you add more credits. Any API calls will receive an "insufficient credits" response, allowing your automated workflows to handle the situation gracefully. Your knowledge base and files remain safe and accessible.
