notaeAI Tutorial

notaeAI is your personal AI assistant — a single place where you can ask anything, and it picks the right tools and models for you behind the scenes. Think of it as a smart research companion that can search the web, deep-dive into topics, draft documents, generate images, Chat with historical figures, and more — all from one friendly chat.

What makes it different from a normal chatbot: notaeAI figures out the best tool for you. It looks at your question and decides whether it needs a quick answer, a web search, a deep research report, an image, or a written document — and it does that automatically. You never have to pick a tool or write a fancy prompt. You just talk.

notaeAI is for everyone, so here are the words this guide uses, in everyday language.

• AI (artificial intelligence) — a computer program that can read, write and answer like a person.
• Assistant — the thing you are talking to. notaeAI is your assistant.
• Prompt — the set of instructions you hand the AI. Think of it as a recipe for the kind of answer you want. The Prompt Library is a shelf of ready-made recipes.
• Model — the "brain" behind the AI. Different brains are good at different jobs. You never have to pick one — notaeAI picks for you.
• Route — to send your question to the right tool. notaeAI looks at what you asked and decides whether it needs a quick answer, a web search, a deep research report, an image, or a written document.
• Persona — a character or expert the AI plays, like Einstein, Cleopatra, or a careful medical advisor.
• Study room — a shared space where a group keeps its knowledge, chat, tasks and files. We usually just say room.
• Home Room — your own private hub, where your personal stuff lives.
• Scope — where the AI is looking when it answers. Your Home Room scope means everything across your rooms plus your personal stuff. A room scope means only that one room.
• Conversation (also called a thought) — one back-and-forth chat. Each is saved on its own so you can come back to it.
• History — your past conversations. The sidebar shows a short Recent list; the History button opens the full list.
• My Research — the big, searchable library of everything you have ever asked notaeAI, with folders, tags, pinning and archiving.
• Credits — the units that pay for using the AI, like tokens at an arcade.
• Agent — a prompt that can reach out for real, live information (like today's weather) instead of only chatting.

notaeAI has two homes, and the one you are in decides what it is answering from. Both are the same assistant, with the same Recent list, the same Prompt Library and the same voice — the only difference is which knowledge is behind it.

Getting from one to the other

This is the part worth understanding, because it is where notaeAI differs from a general chatbot — and where it is deliberately honest about its own limits.

The notaeAI page has a modern, user-friendly layout designed around the chat:

Inside a room, the page grows a shell

A room's notaeAI sits inside that room, so the room's own chrome comes with it: the room dropdown in the top bar (chat, calendar, tasks, bookshelf, and the rest of the room's places — only the ones that room actually has enabled), the room switcher sidebar, and the room's background tint. Nothing about the chat itself changes; you simply do not have to leave the room to use it.

The Prompt Library is a curated set of ready-to-use prompts. Instead of staring at a blank box, you pick a prompt, answer a couple of friendly questions, and go. There are two ways to reach it:

On the full page the library has three sections:

Making a prompt yours

The two buttons on every approved prompt do different jobs, and the difference is worth knowing:

• Use makes the prompt yours. It creates your own copy of it — your details, your own conversation — and puts it in ⭐ Your prompts. The prompt itself stays the librarian’s, so when they fix or improve it, your copy gets the improvement too. Come back tomorrow and you land in the same conversation; pressing Use again reopens that one rather than starting over.
• 🍴 Customizemakes an editable copy you own and maintain. Use it when you want to change the prompt’s actual instructions — see Create, Customize & Submit Your Own Prompts. Nothing you set up in Your prompts needs this.
• A prompt that was copied from another shows ↳ forked from … so the original author keeps the credit.

Some prompts turn notaeAI into a persona — a specific character or expert that answers in character.

You can make a persona personal — adjust the fields (name, era, skills, training, tone) to create your own version of a persona before you start.

Don't want to pick a prompt? Just type a question directly. notaeAI's orchestrator analyzes your message and routes it to the right tool:

• Quick answer — general questions and explanations
• Web search — "what's the latest…", "who is…" — a current, sourced answer
• Deep research — a thorough, multi-source brief with citations
• Image — "generate an image of…", "draw…"
• Write a document — "draft a letter / report / essay…"

You can attach an image or a document to any message, and notaeAI will work with it.

When you attach something, a small chip appears in the chat and the Document Preview panel opens on the right (on desktop) or as a sheet (on mobile) so you can see what you're working with.

notaeAI can speak its replies out loud. When you get an answer, it auto-plays in the assistant's voice — unless you are in Text only.

The 🎤 microphone is separate from voice mode and is available in all three: it dictates, and the mode decides whether what you said waits for you or sends itself.

Use the microphone button next to the message box to dictate instead of typing. Tap it, speak, and your words appear in the message box — then review and send.

notaeAI is credit-based. Your credit balance is shown as a pill in the chat.

• Cheap actions (chat, quick web search) run silently.
• Pricier actions (deep research, image generation, document writing) show a one-tap "≈ N credits — continue?" confirmation first.
• Online voice/TTS is metered per 1,000 characters.

Every chat you have is saved as a conversation. Your recent ones are listed in the Recent tab of the left sidebar, so you can jump back in.

• Click a past conversation to reopen it and keep going.
• + New starts a fresh conversation.
• The trash icon deletes a conversation.

While a conversation is open, the header row above the chat gives you quick actions for it — ⇪ Share (post it into a study room), 📍 Pin, 🗄 Archive, 📥 Export (download it as a file) and 🗑 Trash (delete it). These are the same actions you find on the cards in My Research, now one click away.

A conversation belongs to the room it started in

This is on purpose, and it is what keeps a room's notaeAI limited to that room:

• In a room, the Recent list shows only that room's conversations. A room with no conversations yet says so.
• In your Home Room, the Recent list shows every conversation you have — its heading says across your rooms — and each conversation that belongs to a room is tagged with that room's name.
• Clicking a conversation that belongs to a room takes you to that room's notaeAI and opens it there, rather than showing one room's conversation inside another.
• Changing rooms does not carry the conversation with you. You land on the new room's own history. The conversation you were in is waiting, unchanged, in the room it belongs to.

Everything notaeAI does for you is kept. My Research is the full library of your saved work — each item is a complete conversation you can reopen, run again, organise, or share into a study room. You reach it from the 📚 History button in the toolbar above the chat (which opens it when you are in your Home Room), or from 📚 My Research in your Home Room menu.

Research is more useful when the people you work with can see it. Any run can be posted into a study room you can post in, and from there it can become part of that room's permanent knowledge.

You can build your own reusable prompt. Open the Prompt Library and choose + Create a prompt — the wizard walks you through it one step at a time:

Customize — how shared prompts change

A prompt that has been approved and shared is locked. That is deliberate: people may have built on it, so it cannot quietly change under them. To change the prompt’s actual instructions you customize it — even if you wrote it. If all you want is the prompt with your own details filled in, just Use it instead; that needs no copy and no maintenance.

• 🍴 Customize on any approved prompt makes your own private copy to edit and run freely.
• Opening an approved prompt of your own shows it read-only, with a single action that makes a private copy you can edit.
• Your customized copy starts as a private draft with its own use count, and remembers which prompt it came from.
• Editing a prompt that is awaiting review withdraws it back to a draft, so a librarian never approves something that has changed since they read it.

Some prompts are agent prompts — they don't just chat, they reach out to live data or tools using MCP (Model Context Protocol), a standard way to connect an AI to servers. So a question isn't answered from the model's memory alone; it's answered with real, fresh information.
