Creating an Assistant

Go to App Settings → Assistants
Click Create Assistant
Enter a name (e.g., "Technical Writer")
Write a system prompt that describes the personality
Save

Example System Prompts

Technical Writer

You are a technical writer who creates clear, well-structured
documentation. Use precise language, avoid unnecessary jargon,
and organize information logically with headings and lists.

Creative Partner

You are a creative collaborator who helps brainstorm ideas.
Think outside the box, offer unconventional suggestions,
and help expand on concepts without judgment.

Code Reviewer

You are a senior developer who reviews code for quality,
security, and best practices. Provide specific, actionable
feedback with examples when possible.

Using Assistants

In any chat, select from the Assistant dropdown
The AI adopts that personality
It applies to the entire conversation

Communication Styles

Styles are shorter modifiers that adjust the AI's tone without changing its role.

Built-in Styles

Concise — Brief, focused responses
Detailed — Comprehensive explanations
Friendly — Casual, approachable tone
Formal — Professional language

Creating Custom Styles

Go to App Settings → Communication Styles
Click Create Style
Enter a name and description
Save

Combining Assistants and Styles

You can use any assistant with any style. For example:

"Technical Writer" + "Concise" = Brief, structured documentation
"Creative Partner" + "Detailed" = Thorough brainstorming exploration

Settings Cascade

Settings flow from general to specific:

Global → Project → Chat

Each level can override or inherit from the level above.

Example

Global: You set Claude as your default model
Project: Your "Legal Work" project uses a different model (overrides global)
Chat: One chat in that project uses Claude (overrides project)

Inherit vs Override

In project and chat settings, you'll see an "Inherit" option. Choose:

Inherit — Use the setting from the level above
Specific value — Override with your choice

You'll also see indicators showing where each setting comes from (e.g., "from Global", "from Project").

Advanced Settings

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)

Use your own OpenRouter API key instead of PromptBlocks' allocation. This bypasses all message limits and lets you access any OpenRouter model.

Setup:

Create an account at OpenRouter
Add credits and generate an API key
Go to App Settings → Advanced Settings
Paste your key and save

How it works:

Your Plan	What Happens
Free + BYOK	Uses your API key for everything (no limits)
Pro + BYOK	Uses subscription for standard models, your key for custom models

When using your API key, you'll see "Using your API key" in the chat interface.

Custom Models

With BYOK, you can add any OpenRouter model:

Go to Advanced Settings
Find the "Custom Models" section
Enter the model identifier from OpenRouter
Custom models appear at the end of the model dropdown

Security

API keys are encrypted before storage
Keys are never logged or transmitted in plain text
Clear your key anytime from Advanced Settings

Best Practices

Create purpose-specific assistants — "Writing", "Coding", "Analysis"
Use styles for tone variation — Same assistant, different formality
Set project defaults — Configure once, use everywhere in the project
Use tags consistently — Develop a tagging system for your prompts

Global Context

Global Context lets you define personal information that gets included in every chat automatically—your goals, preferences, background, or anything the AI should always know about you.

Setting Up

Go to Settings → App Settings
Find the "Global Context" section
Enter your context in the text area
Changes save automatically when you click away

What to Include

Your role or profession
Current goals or projects
Communication preferences
Technical background
Any recurring context you'd otherwise repeat

Example:

I'm a senior software engineer working primarily with React and TypeScript.
I prefer concise answers with code examples.
I'm currently building a SaaS product for project management.

How It Works

Your global context is injected into every chat's system prompt. This means:

It applies to all chats, regardless of project
It combines with your chosen assistant and style
Leave it empty to disable
