The default Rick AI[1] does not have real-time features. But there are several commands you can use, for more serious usecases.
Using /uhh for real-time data
[!discord] On Discord this command is
.ask
When you’re using ask and you want to make sure it’s actually going to search the web, you have to amplify that you need recent data. The simplest way to do this, is to just tell Rick in your prompt: …make sure to search Google… you can also specify a timeframe or date.
/uhh is good at answering questions, but is less conversational. This command works with a custom built (experimental) agent, it has a set of tools it can use to get real time data, the most important being a customised Google Search, it’s also capable of “thinking” in multiple steps and should be used for calculations.
/ask command
[!bug] experimental - Currently only available on
Telegram
You can use the /ask command as a Q&A tool, this model can browse the web. It is not intended for conversational interactions, but rather to provide direct and satisfactory answers to your questions. You can still provide relevant context by referencing (reply-to) a previous message when sending the command.
Both /uhh and /ask can be used for the same use case, the key difference is that /uhh is answering as Rick, while /ask responds in a more ChatGPT style.
[!info] Both ask and uhh have a reduced history input compared to Rick’s core AI. You can always reply-to or quote while mentioning Rick to feed that message as extra context.
We may also refer to default Rick AI as Core AI ↩︎
