## 1. Open KAEL Chat

Visit [chat.aethex.tech](https://chat.aethex.tech). Anonymous use is available with limited daily access.

## 2. Ask a grounded question

Start with a concrete AeThex topic:

```text
What is Passport, and where do I create one?
```

KAEL loads relevant entries from its AeThex knowledge base before generating an answer. For current web status or recent information, KAEL can use live retrieval when the active clearance level permits it.

## 3. Use a stable session

A stable session identifier allows the chat surface to retain recent conversational history. Signed-in identities can receive stronger continuity than an anonymous browser session.

## 4. Understand clearance

KAEL calculates access from identity, Passport state, ARM membership, invite state, tenant credentials, and operator authorization. Higher clearance can expand message limits, tools, models, and persistent context.

Do not place tenant keys or operator tokens in public client code.

## 5. Manage memory

KAEL can store keyed memories for a signed-in identity or visitor session. Review and remove memory through the supported chat controls when available. See [[KAEL Memory]] for the API behavior.
