# Projects

A project is a set of instructions for chats about one topic, so you do not have to repeat yourself. Every chat you start inside it already knows the background.

## Make a project

In the Agent panel, click the **+** beside **Projects**, give it a name and write the instructions, for example who the audience is, what tone to use and which collection to work in.

## Use a project

-   Click **New chat** under a project in the panel, or
-   pick it in the **project** menu under the message box when you start a chat.

The chat's heading says which project it is in. The instructions apply to every message in that chat, and they also help decide what counts as being on topic.

## Good to know

-   Projects are yours. They are not shared with the rest of the workspace.
-   Deleting a project keeps its chats. They just no longer have the instructions.
-   Chats about a single page have their own hidden project, which is how the agent always sees that page.
