Chat

Intelligent Chat Guide

TagForge features a robust chat assistant designed for long-form creative writing, brainstorming, and technical tasks.

💬 Chat Interface

The Chat view provides a persistent workspace for conversational AI. Unlike the Generator, the Chat is designed for multi-turn dialogues where context is maintained throughout the session.

Key Features

• Persistent Context: The AI remembers previous messages in the current session.
• Markdown Support: rendering for tables and formatted text.
• Multimodal Attachments: Use the Paperclip icon to attach images or text/code files to provide context to the assistant.

📜 Chat Rules

Chat Rules are modular behavioral templates that allow you to quickly switch the assistant's personality or formatting style without changing the global persona.

How to Use Rules

1. Locate the Rules Dropdown at the top of the Chat view.
2. Select a rule to instantly apply its instructions to the assistant.
3. Rules are prepended to the system prompt, ensuring the AI follows them strictly.

Built-in Rules

• Helpful Assistant: The default, balanced AI personality for general tasks.
• Code Expert: Optimized for generating, explaining, and debugging code with idiomatic best practices.
• Creative Writer: Focused on storytelling, world-building, and evocative prose.

🛠️ Custom Rules

You can manage your rules in Settings -> Rules Tab.

• Name: A short label for the dropdown.
• Instruction: The specific behavior you want the AI to follow (e.g., "Always reply in Spanish" or "Use only emojis").
