Command Center Overview

The Command Center and Chat Scope define how Chief chats are configured and how those configurations translate into real-time behavior. This page explains how users control inputs, system settings, and response behavior through the Command Center, and how those settings are reflected transparently in the active Chat Scope.

Overview

The Command Center is the central control hub for configuring how a chat behaves in Chief. 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 Chief

  • 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.

How It Connects to Chat Scope

Every change you make in the Command Center is reflected in Chat Scope in real time—showing which settings, files, and behaviors are currently active in your chat.
