    * **Data**: CSV, Excel files

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is the AI giving incorrect information?">
    AI models can sometimes make mistakes. For factual accuracy:

    * Enable **Web Search** for current information
    * Verify important facts independently
    * Provide more context in your prompts
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I delete a conversation?">
    Hover over the conversation in the sidebar and click the **trash icon**. Deleted conversations cannot be recovered.

  <Accordion title="Can multiple people use one account?">
    No, accounts are for individual use. For team collaboration, create a workspace and invite your team -- Pro and Enterprise plans support multiple workspaces and shared assistants.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does SMS Integration work?">
    SMS Integration connects your Twilio account to an Illumichat assistant. When someone texts your Twilio phone number, your assistant generates an AI response and sends it back via SMS. You provide your own Twilio credentials (BYOK), so messaging costs are billed directly by Twilio. See the [SMS Integration guide](/features/sms) for setup instructions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a paid Twilio account for SMS?">
    A free Twilio trial account works for testing, but trial accounts can only send messages to verified phone numbers. For production use, upgrade to a paid Twilio account and purchase a phone number with SMS capability.
