What is LongCat?
LongCat AI uses a chat window as the starting point for input, allowing users to describe their questions, data organization needs, or creative goals, then select the appropriate function based on the task. The public workspace provides access to deep thinking, online search, image generation, video generation, and in-depth research, making it easy to distinguish between routine Q&A, information retrieval, and visual creation.
When using it, first clarify your objectives and the conditions you wish to retain, then select the appropriate mode. For searches or research, be sure to verify the sources and time range in the results; for visual tasks, specify the subject, scene, and output requirements. The specific supported specifications and account permissions are subject to the current feature interface.
The official website also provides mobile app downloads and a navigation guide to the API open platform; web-based chat and developer APIs are distinct usage modes. Before use, you should separately verify login requirements, feature limits, and task specifications, and review search sources, visual content, and final outputs—do not assume that all tasks are free simply based on the availability of a feature entry point.
