Key Concepts

Before diving deeper, understand these core concepts:

​
Experts (The Most Important Concept!)

An Expert is your AI assistant with:
  • Custom personality and behavior
  • Specific knowledge and abilities
  • Connected tools and apps
  • Training data and fine-tuning
Important: You must SELECT an expert before you can use most Hub features. The selected expert determines:
  • Who you’re chatting with
  • What knowledge is available
  • Which apps are connected
  • What training data applies

​
The Expert Workflow

1. Open Expert Manager (click Expert Card below logo)
2. Create or Select an expert (click "touch_app" button)
3. Expert becomes your active context
4. Chat, Train, Connect Apps for THAT expert
5. Switch experts anytime by selecting a different one

​
Threads

A Thread is a conversation:
  • Contains message history
  • Maintains context
  • Has associated state
  • Can be saved and resumed
  • Tied to the expert that was selected

​
Tools

Tools extend your expert’s capabilities:
  • Web search
  • Document retrieval
  • API calls
  • Code execution
  • Custom integrations

​
Memory

Memory helps experts remember:
  • User preferences
  • Important facts
  • Conversation context
  • Long-term knowledge
