# Ask Oqo

> Use Ask Oqo to inspect experiments, explain results, and take everyday actions in your project.

**Ask Oqo** is the in-app assistant for your project. Ask in plain language about experiments, runs, frictions, and what to do next.

## Where to find it

* **Ask Oqo** in the dashboard sidebar for the full page
* **Ask Oqo** in the header on any dashboard page
* The Ask prompt on the project Home page

Ask Oqo works on the project you currently have selected.

## Prerequisites

1. Connect a provider under **Organization settings → Model providers**, or connect **OpenAI (ChatGPT Subscription)** or **Nous Portal** under **Profile → Integrations**.
2. Assign a model to **Ask Oqo** under **Organization settings → Oqoqo AI features**.
3. Authorize access to your projects when Ask Oqo asks.

If you see **Ask Oqo needs a model**, finish steps 1 and 2.

<Note>
  Ask Oqo does not support models from **Anthropic (Claude Subscription)** yet. Use **OpenAI (ChatGPT Subscription)**, **Nous Portal**, or another compatible provider.
</Note>

See [Oqoqo AI features](/setup/oqoqo-ai) and [Model providers](/setup/model-providers).

## What you can do

Use Ask Oqo to:

* Explain Matrix, Frictions, or a specific run
* Find where agents got stuck and what to change next
* Help draft tasks, launch small experiments, and read results
* Point you to the exact dashboard screen when a step needs a secret

Ask Oqo uses Oqoqo MCP and the docs for in-app work. For larger workflows in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar hosts, install the recommended [plugin](/operate/mcp) or the [CLI](/operate/cli).

## Secrets stay in the dashboard

OAuth grants, API keys, and other secrets stay in the web app. When Ask Oqo needs a secure value, it sends you to the exact setup link instead of asking you to paste a secret into chat.

## First prompts

```text theme={null}
Show my current project, summarize recent experiments, and list the top frictions.
```

```text theme={null}
Explain why the baseline treatment underperformed the skill treatment on Matrix.
```

```text theme={null}
Draft a small task and rubric to test our refund docs, then propose an experiment plan.
```
