Command Center & Chat Scope: Control how Storytell thinks, in one place

Storytell shouldn’t feel like a black box.

This release introduces the Command Center and Chat Scope, a new way to control how responses are generated and see exactly what’s influencing them in real time.

What’s new

Command Center

A single place to configure everything that affects your chat.

Library (what Storytell knows)

  • Upload files

  • Add files to your current chat

  • Access your Prompt Library

Configure (how Storytell thinks)

  • Intelligence Level (Auto, Fast, Expert, Research)

  • Voice (Coach, Teacher, Executive, etc.)

  • Memory settings (user, project, system)

Account (your setup)

  • Personalization & settings

  • Credit balance visibility

Chat Scope

A real-time bar that shows what’s actively shaping your conversation.

  • Voice → current tone/persona

  • Intelligence Level → reasoning depth + tools

  • Files in Scope → how many files are being used

  • Public Data → whether web/external data is on

Every change you make updates instantly—what you see is exactly what the system is using.

Why this matters

  • No more guessing - Quickly understand why you’re getting a certain response.

  • Faster iteration - Adjust tone, depth, or data sources without breaking your flow.

  • More control, less friction - Everything lives in one place—no jumping between panels.

  • Transparent AI behavior - You can see (and trust) what’s influencing outputs at any moment.

How it works

Think of it as a simple loop:

  1. Configure your chat in the Command Center

  2. See those settings reflected in Chat Scope

  3. Adjust in real time as you prompt

What changed for you

  • The old side panel is gone → replaced by the Command Center

  • Chat configuration is now centralized

  • You get a live “source of truth” via Chat Scope

  • Behavior changes (Voice, Intelligence, Data) are now instantly visible

🚀 Pro Tips

  • Use Chat Scope as a quick check before sending a prompt, especially for Public Data and Files

  • Switch Voice mid-conversation to instantly reshape outputs

  • Drop into Expert or Research mode when answers feel too shallow

  • Keep your file scope tight to improve response quality and speed
