## Chat with Your Data
### Step 1: Access the Chat Interface
1. Log into Solyo
2. Navigate to the **Playground** section

### Step 2: Set a Time Period
The Period dropdown offers these options:

| Last 7 days | Weekly overview |
| Last 30 days | Monthly scope |

Time filtering refines data scope and provides contextually relevant information.

- **Tag**: Filter based on assigned tags for precision
- **Link Filters**: Include custom-organized data for specific searches
### Step 4: Start Chatting
Once filters and time periods are configured, enter your query into the chatbox.
**Example Queries:**
- "What were the latest updates from Axel's school?"
- "Show me documents tagged with 'Soccer' from last week."
- "Summarize all emails received from work in the last two days."
### Step 5: Managing Results
- **Sources**: View documents or emails contributing to responses
- **Feedback**: Save, like, dislike, or delete responses
- **Query Refinement**: Adjust questions or filters to modify scope
- **Source Saving**: Preserve sources for future reference
