How to use the AI assistant in Aquairi

The Aquairi AI assistant is a chat that knows your tank. Because it can see your water type, volume, inhabitants, and recent readings, its answers fit your setup instead of giving generic advice from a forum.

This guide shows how to ask good questions, use it to diagnose a problem, and turn its suggestions into action.

Steps

  1. Open the assistant

    Tap the AI chat from your aquarium. The assistant starts with context from that tank, so you can get straight to your question.

  2. Describe what you are seeing

    Type your question or symptom in plain English — “my nitrates keep climbing” or “is my tank ready for fish?”. Specifics get sharper answers.

    Log a recent water test first. The assistant reasons over your actual readings, so fresh data gives a far more accurate reply.

  3. Diagnose an issue

    Ask about an algae bloom, cloudy water, or a sick fish. The assistant weighs your parameters and stocking to suggest the most likely cause and what to check next.

  4. Get stocking advice

    Ask what fish suit your tank or whether a species is compatible. It factors in your volume, water type, and current inhabitants before suggesting anything.

  5. Act and verify

    Follow a suggestion, then log your next test to confirm it worked. The assistant is a guide, not a substitute for testing — let the data confirm the fix.
