Chat Interface

The chat interface (accessible after logging in to the chat site) is the main area where you will interact with your AI assistants. Here's a breakdown of its key components:

This is the expansive, central area of the screen. It serves as the canvas for your conversation with the AI. All messages from you and the AI will appear here. To begin, simply click on the "Start chatting" prompt that appears in the centre of the space.

Message Input & Controls

Once you start typing, the input controls will appear at the bottom of the chat space.

Message Input Field: This is where you type your prompts, questions, and messages to the AI.
Add File Button (+): Located to the left of the Send button, this allows you to attach files. The AI can use the content of these files to provide more contextually aware and accurate responses.
Send Button (↑): The upward arrow icon sends your message to the AI assistant.

Model & Assistant Selector

Positioned directly below the "Start chatting" prompt, this dropdown menu provides a quick and convenient way to switch between different AI models and specialised assistants (e.g., Neuro+ Power, Neuro+ Relish). You can also select and manage your assistants from the main navigation sidebar on the left.

Model Configuration Button

To the right of the Model/Assistant Selector, you will find the Model Configuration button, represented by a slider icon. Clicking this gives you access to the advanced settings for the currently selected model, allowing you to view its base instructions and fine-tune its behaviour for more precise control over its responses.

The vertical icon bar on the far left of the screen allows you to navigate the core features of Neuro+. This includes creating new chats, accessing your library of assistants, and viewing your chat history.

Help Icon (?)

Located in the bottom-right corner, the question mark icon provides quick access to help and support resources. Clicking it will display useful keyboard shortcuts and provide a link to this documentation for further assistance.

Excellent, let's get this section of the documentation updated to reflect the new, more integrated interface. The new design streamlines the process of selecting and configuring your AI, and the documentation should reflect that clarity.

Here is a revised draft that replaces the old "Chat Model Settings" section.

Selecting and Configuring Models & Assistants

Choosing and customising your AI model or assistant is done directly within your chat space. The Model & Assistant Selector is the dropdown menu located at the bottom of your chat window (or below the "Start chatting" prompt in a new chat).

Clicking this selector opens a comprehensive menu that allows you to quickly switch between different AI configurations.

The menu is organised into several sections for ease of use:

Preset Assistants: At the top, you will find a list of pre-configured assistants ready for immediate use, such as Neuro+ Power and Neuro+ Coach. These are optimised for specific tasks and are a great starting point.
Other Models: This option allows you to select a specific base AI model. Hovering over it reveals a list of available models, conveniently grouped by their provider (e.g., Neuro, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). This is useful when you want to work directly with a particular model like GPT-4o or Claude 4 Sonnet.
Assistants: Here, you can select from any custom assistants you have created or have access to within your workspace.
Tools: This section contains additional capabilities you can enable for your AI. For example, you can toggle Web search on or off to grant the AI permission to access the internet for real-time information.

Model Configuration

To fine-tune the behaviour of your selected model or assistant, click the Model Configuration button (represented by a slider icon) located to the right of the selector. This will open a panel with advanced settings.

Instructions (Prompt): This field contains the core instructions that guide the AI's personality, role, and responses. You can view or edit these instructions to customise its behaviour.
Advanced Settings: Click to expand this section for more granular control.
- Temperature: Adjusts the creativity and randomness of the AI's responses. A lower temperature (e.g., 0.2) results in more focused and predictable outputs, which is ideal for factual tasks. A higher temperature (e.g., 0.8) makes the responses more creative and diverse. We recommend leaving this at the default setting unless you have a specific need. For fully reproducible outputs, set the temperature to 0.
- Context Length: Defines the maximum amount of conversation history the AI will consider when generating a response.
- Profile Context: Enabling this option allows the AI to incorporate information from your user profile to provide more personalised responses.
- Workspace Instructions: This setting ensures that the AI includes any workspace-wide instructions in its context, making it aware of team-specific guidelines.
- Embeddings Provider: This dropdown allows you to select the provider for embeddings, which are used for tasks like file analysis.

The top-right corner of the interface provides quick access to display settings, chat management, and your account menu.

Theme Toggle (Sun Icon): Instantly switch between Light and Dark modes to suit your visual preference and reduce eye strain.
New Chat (Chat Bubble Icon): Click this to start a fresh conversation thread, clearing the current chat space for a new topic.
Main Menu (Hamburger Icon): Clicking the menu icon (three horizontal lines) next to your profile initial reveals a dropdown with the following key options:
- Create Assistant: Navigate to the assistant builder to create and configure your own specialised AI assistants with custom instructions and capabilities.
- Profile Settings: Access and update your personal user information.
- Manage Account: Opens a new tab to the account management portal where you can handle your subscription, view billing history, and manage other account-level details.
- Log Out: Securely sign out of your Neuro+ session.

The toolbar is located on the far left of the screen. It contains several icons that allow you to access different functionalities within the platform. Here's a description of each icon from top to bottom:

Workspace Settings:

The top section of the pane always displays the current workspace. Clicking on "Home" opens a dropdown menu where you can select or create a new workspace. Next to the workspace dropdown, the cog icon opens the workspace settings, allowing you to customise various aspects of your workspace.
