How to use prompt modes (Coach, Message, Memory, Knowledge to Context)

Goal

Change how the AI behaves in a chat by switching prompt modes on or off. You can combine them.

Quick path

1. In the chat input, click Set prompt mode.
2. Toggle the modes you want.

Step-by-step

1. Click Set prompt mode near the bottom-right of the chat prompt box. A panel opens listing the four modes.

   

2. Switch on the ones you want:

   • Coach Mode — appends tips & tricks to the AI's responses. These are tailored to your User Type, so the coaching a student gets is pitched differently from what a faculty member or someone on Workforce gets. You can change your User Type in Personal Settings → Preferences — see How to use AI Tools.
   • Message Mode — skips the bot and posts your text as a plain message in the chat (handy in shared chats).
   • Memory Mode — lets the AI use your previous chats when it answers.
   • Knowledge to Context Mode — loads your attached documents in full, up front. You usually don't need this. BoodleBox already loads a full document automatically whenever your request calls for it, so this is a shortcut for starting a session in full-document mode rather than something you have to remember. Available once the chat has knowledge attached. See How BoodleBox reads your documents.

Verify it's working

• The modes panel shows which modes are active, and the input's mode indicator reflects your choices.

Modes can be combined — for example, Coach + Memory at once. Email success@boodle.ai with what you're seeing — typical response within 8 business hours.
