About This FAQ
This FAQ addresses the most common questions about Felo AI’s features, capabilities, and practical usage. Whether you’re evaluating the platform, setting it up for the first time, or trying to get more from your subscription, these answers are based on official documentation and hands-on testing.
General Questions
What is Felo AI?
Felo AI is an AI-powered search engine designed for multilingual information access. Its core capability is searching the web across multiple languages simultaneously, translating and synthesizing results in your preferred language. Beyond search, Felo offers document analysis (LiveDoc), automated research monitoring (AI Agents), and presentation generation (AI PPT).
The platform’s slogan — “Your Free AI Search Engine” — reflects its commitment to making cross-language search accessible, with a free tier that provides core functionality.
How is Felo AI different from Google or Perplexity?
The key difference is native cross-language search. When you search on Google, you primarily get results in the language you searched in. When you search on Perplexity, results are primarily English even for topics where foreign-language sources contain crucial information.
Felo AI searches across all supported languages simultaneously, translates the results, and synthesizes them into a unified answer. This means a single query can draw from English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and other language sources — all presented in your preferred language.
Do I need to know other languages to use Felo AI?
No. You search in your preferred language and receive all results in that language. The platform handles translation internally. You don’t need to formulate queries in foreign languages or read untranslated results.
That said, users who do speak additional languages can view original-language sources alongside translations, which is useful for verification.
Language Support Questions
What languages does Felo AI support?
Felo AI supports over 25 languages for both input (queries) and output (results):
Tier 1 (Excellent quality): English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese
Tier 2 (Very good quality): Italian, Russian, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese
Tier 3 (Good quality): Indonesian, Malay, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Hebrew
Language quality refers to both the translation accuracy and the depth of source coverage in that language.
Can I search in one language and get results from another?
Yes — this is Felo AI’s core feature. Searching in English returns results from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, European, and other language sources, all translated to English. Similarly, searching in Japanese returns results from English and other language sources, translated to Japanese.
The system automatically determines which languages are likely to contain relevant information based on the query topic and returns results from those languages.
Can I restrict search to specific languages?
Yes. In the search settings, you can:
- Include specific languages: Only search in selected languages
- Exclude specific languages: Search all languages except selected ones
- Prioritize languages: Give higher ranking to results from preferred languages
This is useful when you know which language sources are most relevant for a specific query.
How accurate are the translations?
Translation accuracy depends on the language pair and content type:
| Content Type | Major Language Pairs | Less Common Pairs |
|---|---|---|
| General news/business | 95%+ accuracy | 85-90% accuracy |
| Technical/specialized | 90-95% accuracy | 80-85% accuracy |
| Legal/regulatory | 85-90% accuracy | 75-85% accuracy |
| Informal/colloquial | 85-90% accuracy | 75-80% accuracy |
For professional use, translations of general business and news content are reliable for making informed decisions. For specialized content (legal, medical, technical), we recommend using translations as a starting point and verifying critical details through domain experts or professional translators.
Does Felo handle right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew)?
Yes. The interface and search results properly render right-to-left text for Arabic and Hebrew. Source content in these languages is displayed correctly and translations maintain proper formatting.
Search Capability Questions
How does Felo decide which sources to search?
Felo’s search engine uses several signals to determine which sources to query:
- Query language and topic: The AI interprets the query to identify relevant languages and source types
- Geographic relevance: Queries about specific countries or regions prioritize sources from those areas
- Source authority: Government sites, major media, academic publications, and established industry sources are prioritized
- Recency: For current-event queries, recent content is prioritized
- User settings: Language preferences and source filters (if configured) influence selection
How many sources does Felo search per query?
The number varies by plan and query complexity:
| Factor | Free Plan | Pro Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Languages searched per query | 3-5 | All relevant |
| Sources evaluated | ~50-100 | ~200-500 |
| Sources cited in response | 5-10 | 10-20+ |
| Search depth | Standard index | Deep index (including less prominent sources) |
Pro queries consistently return more diverse and comprehensive results because they access a broader set of source indexes.
Can Felo access paywalled content?
No. Felo indexes and retrieves publicly accessible web content only. Paywalled articles from publications like Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, academic journals behind publisher paywalls, and proprietary databases are not accessible.
Felo can sometimes find and surface the free portions of paywalled content (headlines, abstracts, first paragraphs) and may find alternative free sources covering the same topic.
How fresh are Felo’s search results?
Felo provides real-time search capabilities:
- Major news sources: Indexed within minutes to hours of publication
- Government and institutional sources: Indexed within hours to a day
- Smaller or niche sources: Indexed within 1-3 days
- Academic publications: Indexed as they become publicly available
For time-sensitive research, Felo’s freshness is comparable to other AI search engines and significantly better than tools relying solely on training data.
Can I search for images or videos?
Felo AI is primarily a text search and synthesis engine. It does not provide dedicated image or video search results. However, search results may include links to sources that contain relevant images or videos.
LiveDoc Questions
What is LiveDoc?
LiveDoc is Felo’s document analysis feature, available on the Pro plan. It allows you to upload documents in any supported language and interact with them through AI:
- Full document translation to your preferred language
- Section-by-section summarization
- Question answering about document contents
- Key point and data extraction
- Comparison across multiple uploaded documents
What file formats does LiveDoc support?
- PDF (text-based and scanned with OCR)
- Word documents (.docx, .doc)
- Plain text (.txt)
- PowerPoint (.pptx) — extracts text content
- Web pages (paste URL)
What’s the maximum document size?
LiveDoc supports documents up to approximately 100 pages or 50,000 words. For larger documents, you can upload them in sections.
How accurate is LiveDoc’s document analysis?
LiveDoc uses the same translation models as Felo’s search, so accuracy follows the same language-pair and domain patterns. For document analysis specifically:
- Translation: Same accuracy as search translations (see translation accuracy table above)
- Summarization: Generally reliable for extracting key points; may occasionally miss nuance in complex arguments
- Question answering: Accurate for factual questions (“What is the contract term?”); less reliable for interpretive questions (“Does this clause favor the buyer or seller?”)
- Data extraction: Good for clearly presented data (tables, numbered lists); may struggle with data embedded in complex narrative text
Can I use LiveDoc for legal or medical documents?
You can use LiveDoc with legal and medical documents, but we strongly recommend treating the output as a preliminary analysis rather than a definitive interpretation. The AI may miss:
- Legal terminology with jurisdiction-specific meanings
- Medical terminology nuances that affect clinical interpretation
- Regulatory implications that require domain expertise to identify
- Cultural or legal context that affects document interpretation
For professional legal or medical document analysis, use LiveDoc for initial orientation and then engage domain experts for critical review.
AI Agents Questions
What are AI Agents?
AI Agents are automated research monitors available on the Pro plan. You configure an agent with a topic, target languages, and monitoring frequency, and the agent continuously searches for relevant new information and delivers curated briefings.
How do I create an AI Agent?
- Navigate to the Agents section
- Click “Create New Agent”
- Define the monitoring topic (e.g., “EU artificial intelligence regulation enforcement”)
- Select target languages (e.g., English, German, French, Italian)
- Choose frequency (daily digest, weekly summary, or real-time alerts)
- Set any additional filters (source types, geographic focus)
- Save and activate
The agent begins monitoring immediately and delivers its first briefing at the next scheduled interval.
How many agents can I create?
Pro plan users can create up to 10 active AI Agents simultaneously. Each agent can monitor a different topic across different language combinations.
Can agents send notifications?
Agents deliver briefings through:
- In-platform dashboard: A dedicated agents feed showing all agent outputs
- Email digests: Optional email delivery of briefing summaries
- Real-time alerts: For urgent topic agents, push notifications for significant developments (configurable)
How comprehensive are agent briefings?
Agent briefings include:
- Summary of new developments since the last briefing
- Translated excerpts from key sources
- Source links for deeper reading
- Trend indicators (increasing/decreasing coverage volume)
- Related topics that the agent identified as potentially relevant
Briefing comprehensiveness depends on the topic’s activity level. For actively covered topics (major industries, regulatory developments), briefings are substantial. For niche or low-activity topics, briefings may be minimal or note “no significant new developments.”
Practical Usage Questions
What are the best prompts for Felo AI?
Effective Felo queries share these characteristics:
Good query: “What are the latest developments in Japanese hydrogen fuel cell technology for commercial vehicles, including government subsidies and manufacturer announcements?”
Why it works: Specific topic (hydrogen fuel cells), specific application (commercial vehicles), specific geography (Japan, implying Japanese-language sources), and specific information types (subsidies, manufacturer announcements).
Less effective query: “Hydrogen fuel cell news”
Why it’s weaker: Too broad, no geographic or language signal, no indication of what type of information is needed.
How do I get the most from cross-language search?
- Be specific about geography: Mentioning specific countries signals which language sources to prioritize
- Include topic-specific terms: Technical or industry terms help the AI identify relevant specialized sources
- Specify the type of information: “Regulatory changes,” “market data,” “company announcements,” etc.
- Use follow-up queries: After initial results, drill deeper with targeted follow-ups
- Combine with LiveDoc: When you find relevant documents in results, upload them to LiveDoc for detailed analysis
Is my search data private?
Felo AI’s privacy policy states:
- Search queries are not used to train AI models
- Search history is accessible only to you
- No personal data is shared with third parties
- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest
- You can delete your search history at any time
Can I use Felo AI offline?
No. Felo AI requires an internet connection for all features, including search, LiveDoc, and AI Agents.
Is there an API available?
As of early 2026, Felo does not offer a public API. API access is reportedly in development for the Pro plan.
