# Documentation: how Oftheard works

How Oftheard works, one page per feature: sessions, collections, engines, districts, the action plan, competitors, accuracy, bookings, agency and allowances.

## The features

- [How a session runs](https://oftheard.in/docs/sessions): What happens when you press Run: the booking, the queue, the collection, the sort and the stored answers, how long it takes, and what a session costs on the plan.
- [Collections and prompts](https://oftheard.in/docs/collections): How a collection of buyer questions is written for a brand: the seven question types, the three registers, adding your own prompts, and how many a plan allows.
- [The engines, and what each answer records](https://oftheard.in/docs/engines): Which engines a session asks, how each is reached, why the ChatGPT and Gemini apps differ from their APIs, and what every stored answer carries.
- [Asking from a district, in Hindi](https://oftheard.in/docs/districts-and-languages): How a prompt is asked from an Indian state or district, which engines take a place, why the names change with the district, and what happens to a Hindi prompt.
- [The action plan](https://oftheard.in/docs/action-plan): How the action plan is built from a session: pages to write, sites to be on, checks to fix, and the engines’ own sentences, in the order that moves the answer.
- [Competitors and Share of Model](https://oftheard.in/docs/competitors): How competitors are named on the brief, checked daily and scored: Share of Model per engine, who was recommended instead, and what the number does not mean.
- [Accuracy: what the engines get wrong](https://oftheard.in/docs/accuracy): How each answer is checked against the facts on your brief, what counts as a wrong fact, how wrong facts are folded across a session, and what to do about one.
- [Booking a session for a time](https://oftheard.in/docs/bookings): How to book a session for a date and time, what it holds against the plan, how the clock runs it with nobody signed in, and what happens if a run is missed.
- [Agency: brands, client links and reports](https://oftheard.in/docs/agency): How the Agency plan holds five brands under one login, switches between them, puts your name on every report, and gives each client a link to their numbers.
- [Plans and allowances: what counts](https://oftheard.in/docs/allowances): What each plan allows and what is counted: answers, collections, prompts, competitors, generations, whole-site checks, engines and brands, and how the month resets.
