Accessing Settings
Smith's settings are easily accessible from the main interface. The Settings gear icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the prompt input area, next to the model and persona selectors.
Quick Access Tip: Settings are context-aware and apply immediately to your current chat session. Changes you make will affect how Smith responds in ongoing and future conversations.
Conversation Settings
Smith offers three key settings that control how the AI interacts with you. These settings help you customize the conversation experience based on your needs.
Memory
The Memory toggle determines whether Smith retains context from earlier messages within the same chat session. When enabled, Smith can reference previous exchanges and maintain conversational continuity across multiple questions.
Smith remembers context from earlier in the conversation and can reference past exchanges. Best for multi-turn discussions, iterative analysis, building on previous responses, and complex problem-solving.
Each prompt is treated independently without reference to previous messages. Best for single questions, unrelated queries, fresh perspectives, and avoiding context contamination.
Creativity (Temperature Control)
The Creativity setting controls the AI model's temperature, which affects how deterministic or creative the responses are. You can choose from three levels:
Most deterministic and focused. Responses are consistent and predictable. Ideal for factual analysis, data extraction, technical documentation, and situations requiring precision.
Balanced approach with moderate variation. Good for general business writing, summarization, email drafting, and everyday tasks requiring both accuracy and natural language.
Most creative and varied. Produces diverse, imaginative responses. Best for brainstorming, creative writing, exploring multiple perspectives, and generating unique ideas.
Multi-Model
The Multi-Model toggle enables side-by-side comparison of responses from different AI models. When turned on, Smith will display responses from multiple selected models simultaneously, allowing you to compare perspectives and choose the best answer for your needs.
This feature is particularly valuable when you want to validate information across different AI systems or explore how different models approach the same prompt.

Your Account: The Profile Menu
The dropdown under your name in the top-right corner is where you manage your account. It contains three items: Overview, Profile Settings, and Logout.
Overview
The Overview page brings together your team and plan administration in one place, organized into an Overview tab and a Team tab. What you can change depends on your role: admins can adjust limits and manage seats, while standard users see a read-only view.
đĨ Team Members & Seats
Seats used against your total, with the number of open seats available.
đī¸ Storage
Storage used against your total, with an indicator if add-on storage is active.
đ Monthly Usage

đ¤ Active Models
The number of models currently active against the total available to your plan.
Below the summary cards, the Overview tab provides more detail and controls:
Total spending against your cap for the billing period, broken down both by member and by model, with a billing-period selector. For how usage is measured and what affects it, see the Plan & Usage article.
Your plan name, next invoice date, workspace storage allotment, usage cap, seat count, and billing contact details.
Storage used against your total, with a slider to manage your storage allotment.
An adjustable cap slider, set above your included base credit, that controls how much usage your team can draw in a billing period.
An adjustable slider that sets the percentage of usage at which alerts are sent, so you get notified before reaching your cap.
Team Tab
The Team tab shows a roster of your organization's members, each with their role, email, and usage, alongside controls to invite members and manage open seats. Seat and roster changes are available to admins.
Where usage is explained: The Overview page is where you see and adjust your numbers. For what a "prompt" costs, how models draw down credit, and how to get more from your monthly allowance, see Understanding Your Plan & Usage.
