Handoff

What is a handoff?

A chat that nears its account's limit, or that the provider keeps cutting off, moves to another signed-in account of the same AI. AIObox saves the chat, opens a new window where the old one stood, connects AkiMCP there and goes on only once that connection is proven, sends the task over and closes the old window once it is idle. A message sent to the old window's handle reaches the new one. It needs AkiMCP running.

How do I turn it on?

Handoff is off until you turn it on in Settings › Handoff, after a notice on provider terms that you confirm; AIObox checks no provider's terms. The switch then reads On since with the date and time. Each window has its own Auto handoff On or Off in its panel, a whole profile can be kept out on its page, and Hand off now moves a chat when you choose.

Which numbers can I change?

Settings › Handoff › Numbers sets four, each within its range, and Restore defaults brings them back. A change applies at once, without a restart.

• The usage at which a chat hands off: 87% unless you change it, from 60 to 99. The warning mark follows from it.
• The rest after interrupted replies: 4 hours, from 1 to 24.
• Windows per account: 3, from 1 to 5.
• The wait for the old window to go idle: 10 minutes, from 1 to 60.

Which account goes first?

The least used one. Where a provider counts what is left, such as credits or tokens, the one with the most left goes first. On Handoffs › Pool, tick Prefer on an account or workspace to try it first among places on the same side of the soon mark. Each provider has one line saying how its places are ordered, with Rank by when there are several usage windows to choose from, and hovering a row's # says why it is ahead of the next.

Where do I see what happened?

A handoff shows on both windows with Stop, Retry and Close, and the Handoffs page keeps a History of every one. The old chat is saved on your computer. To let chats pass work to each other without changing account, use the AIO Loop.
