Overview

The Command Center is the central control hub for configuring how a chat behaves in Storytell. It replaces the previous side panel system and consolidates all configuration, input, and behavior controls into a single unified interface.

It works together with Chat Scope, which provides a real-time summary of what is currently influencing the conversation.

Command Center

How to Open

Users can open the Command Center via:

• “+” button in the prompt bar

• Cmd + K shortcut

• (Optional) Keyboard shortcuts menu in settings

Structure

The Command Center is organized into three sections:

Library

This section controls content sources used in chat.

Options:

• Upload files
  Add new files into Storytell

• Add to chat
  Select files from the library to include in the current chat scope

• Prompt Library
  Access saved prompts for reuse

Library defines what information the model can pull from.

Configure

This section controls how the model behaves.

Options:

• Intelligence level
  Adjusts reasoning style and depth (e.g. Expert vs simpler modes)

• Voice
  Controls tone and personality of responses
  Examples:

  • Coach

  • Teacher

  • Executive / C-level style

• Memory
  User, project, or system-level memory settings

Configure defines how responses are generated, not what data is used.

Account

This section controls user-level settings and system access

Options:

• Customize
  Personalization and account configuration

• Credit Balance
  Displays usage credits (e.g. “100%” remaining)

Account manages global user state and billing-related visibility.

Chat Scope

The Chat Scope bar shows what is actively influencing the current conversation.

It is a live summary of configuration applied from the Command Center.

Components

Voice

Defines the persona / tone of the assistant.

Examples:

• Coach → motivational, guiding tone

• Teacher → simplified explanations

• Executive → strategic, high-level responses

Changes here directly affect response style.

Intelligence Level

Controls how Storytell responds by selecting the level of reasoning depth, model strength, and tool usage. You can either let the system decide automatically or manually choose a mode based on your needs.

Chat modes determine:

• Which model is used

• How much “thinking time” the model gets

• Which tools are available (e.g. web search, knowledge base, agents)

You don’t need to manage technical settings—just choose the mode that best matches your task.

Files in Scope

Shows how many files are currently active in the chat.

Example:

• “Using: 13 files”

This indicates:

• Files selected from library

• Content actively grounding responses

Users can expand this to view or adjust file selection.

Public Data

Controls whether the chat can use external/public knowledge sources.

States:

• Public Data ON → model can use external information from the web

• Public Data OFF → strictly file + internal context only

Relationship between Command Center & Chat Scope

Any change in Command Center should immediately update Chat Scope.
