Learn to Use LUDIA

This short guide walks you through LUDIA one step at a time — starting a chat, saving or clearing it, adjusting text size, switching themes, choosing your language, and setting notifications.

1. Start a chat

The LUDIA home screen. The LUDIA name and character are at the top, with a menu icon at the top left and a Settings gear at the top right. A welcome message reads, “Hello, I’m LUDIA. Your AI-powered UDL thought partner! How can I support you today? Our exchanges are universally designed to be accessible, safe, and private.”

When you open LUDIA, you'll see a welcome message and a message box. Type your question or request in the box and send it to begin. LUDIA is your thought partner, so you can keep the conversation going with follow-up questions.

Save, reopen, or clear a chat

The chat box with the prompt “How can LUDIA support you today?” Below it are three buttons: download (down arrow) to save your chat, upload (up arrow) to open a saved chat, and a trash can to clear your chat and start over.

Below the message box are three actions.

Upload a chat you saved earlier, as an HTML file.
Download your current chat to your device, as an HTML file.
Clear the conversation and start over.

LUDIA does not keep your chats, so saving is the only way to keep a copy.

2. Set the text size

The Settings window with the Accessibility tab selected. Under Font Size, a slider is set to Medium and can move between Small, Medium, and Large.

Open Settings (the gear icon) and choose the Accessibility tab. Under Font Size, move the slider between Small, Medium, and Large until the text is comfortable to read.

3. Choose light or dark theme

The Settings window with the General tab selected. Under Theme, System, Light, and Dark are shown with System selected. Below, the Language menu is set to English.

Open Settings and choose the General tab. Under Theme, choose System to match your device, Light for a bright background, or Dark for a darker background that can be easier on the eyes.

4. Choose your language

The Settings window with the General tab selected. The Language menu is set to English, with the Theme options shown above it.

Open Settings and choose the General tab, then find the Language menu. Choose your language from the list, and LUDIA will respond in that language. You can change it again any time.

5. Set notifications

The Settings window with the Notifications tab selected. Position options are Top Left, Top Center, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, and Bottom Right, with Bottom Right selected. The Automatic Dismiss switch is on, and a Duration setting is below.

Open Settings and choose the Notifications tab. Under Position, choose where notifications appear on the screen. Turn on Automatic Dismiss if you want notifications to close on their own, and use Duration to choose how many seconds they stay on screen.
