Ask questions about your data

Alongside Recipes, every project has a chat panel where you can ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in your own data.

Asking a question

Type your question into the chat box and press Enter. OrbySystems streams its response back, and you can interrupt with Stop at any time if you want to redirect it. Your recent questions are kept in history so you can recall and reuse them.

You can ask things like:

• "How much did I spend on restaurants last quarter?"
• "What's my portfolio's return this year?"
• "Show me every transaction linked to my car loan."

Depending on the question, an answer might come back as plain text, a data table, or a chart — whichever fits best. Evidence marks distinguish traced figures from estimates and figures that need review. Follow source links or open a recipe to check the records and assumptions behind an answer. A model can still make mistakes; an untraced number is not a verified fact.

Next step

Once you're comfortable with the basics, explore the rest of the docs — starting with Concepts if you want to understand how OrbySystems is put together, or Personal Finance if you're focused on financial tracking.
