Understanding Chibi's Core Concepts

Chibi AI is designed to work alongside you in content creation, not replace your creative process. It's "done with you" rather than "done for you," giving you unprecedented control over AI-assisted content creation.

The Document Interface

The heart of Chibi is its familiar document interface. Unlike chatbots or form-based AI tools, you work in a comfortable document editor with AI tools readily available when needed:

1. Write Button: Located on the left side of your document, this follows your cursor and lets you generate content using AI based on your current role settings.

2. Finish Button: Also cursor-following, this helps complete your current sentence using AI.

3. Compose Prompt: Also cursor-following, this let's you 'cook' amazing prompt recipes to create incredible results.

4. Inline Prompts: Type '/' anywhere to access quick prompts that instruct AI what to write.

Roles: Your AI Personas

Roles are one of Chibi's most powerful features. Think of them as AI personas you create for specific types of content:

• Each role combines an AI model, instructions, and settings

• Roles help maintain consistent style and tone across your content

• You can create different roles for different purposes (e.g., creative writing, technical content, marketing copy)

To create a role:

1. Click the role option in the edge tools (on the right side) of your document

2. Choose "Create New Role"

   1. Enter a name, choose the model you want to use, enter instructions, and adjust AI settings.

3. Or, use the Role Composer for assistance creating the role

Document Memory

Document memory lets you provide context to the AI without cluttering your main content:

1. Open the Memory panel

2. Create labeled fields for different types of context

3. Add relevant information the AI should know

4. This context is automatically available to inline prompts and the write/finish buttons

Quick Start Tips

• Start Simple: Begin with the Write button to get a feel for how AI assists your writing

• Create a Basic Role: Make a role that matches your writing style

• Use Document Memory: Add some context about your topic or brand

• Try Inline Prompts: Type '/' and experiment with different prompts

Actions

Actions are powerful workflows you can create for repeated tasks:

1. Start with the Action Composer for simple two-step actions

2. Gradually explore more complex actions as you become comfortable

3. Use actions for not only common writing tasks, but:

   1. Analysis

   2. Research

   3. Review

Anything AI models can do, you can perform in actions.

Pro Tips for Success

• Refine Your Roles: Spend time crafting detailed instructions for your roles - they're the foundation of good AI-assisted writing

• Use Memory Effectively: Add specific, relevant context rather than overwhelming the AI with too much information

• Start with Simple Actions: Begin with basic two-step actions before creating complex workflows

• Experiment Safely: Use the Rework panel to try different approaches without risking your main content
