How does basic translation differ from AI Mode?
Free basic translation translates incoming messages and replies you write into the other person’s language, with no account required. AI Mode can also draft a new reply from your instructions and offers context-aware translation, writing style imitation and Q&A. Register and verify your email for a free trial, then choose a usage pack. A paid unlock is also available for your own API key.
Can I use it without an account?
Yes. Install the extension to use free basic translation without registering. An account is needed for the AI trial, usage pack purchases or the custom API unlock.
Can I use it on my phone?
YaoAI Whats currently runs in WhatsApp Web on Chrome or Edge. You can still use WhatsApp normally on your phone, but the extension features run in a desktop browser.
How are chats and files handled?
For a translation, reply or question, only the messages, instructions and file excerpts needed for that task are processed. Your library stays on your device by default; one question does not upload the whole library. The included AI service relays necessary content through YaoAI to the model provider, while your own API mode calls the provider you choose.
How can new users try AI translation for free?
After signing up and verifying their email, eligible new users can try up to 100 AI translations for free. 20 uses are added automatically on each active day, distributed over 5 days.
What is the difference between a usage pack and the professional unlock?
Usage packs cover the included AI service. While uses are valid and remain, you can use translation, AI Reply, style learning, the local library and quoted replies. They do not include custom models or your own API key. The one-time professional unlock lets you add your own API key, choose a custom model and keep using those professional tools.
Will AI send messages automatically?
No. Translations, drafts and answers are shown to you first. You decide what to edit and whether to send.
How do I build a personal style?
Import chat history, common replies or representative text as samples of your preferred tone, phrasing and expressions.
What should I put in the local library?
Add price lists, specifications, minimum order quantities, lead times, certifications and FAQs. AI replies can use relevant excerpts as references; verify the facts before sending.
