Quick definitions of the terms you'll see around BoodleBox.

Let BoodleBot (also shown as "Curio") choose the best AI for each message, instead of picking a model yourself.

Understand the core ideas behind BoodleBox so the rest of the product makes sense.

Group related chats together in your sidebar, and send someone a link to the folder.

Find the menu of actions tucked behind any chat's title, and know what each one does.

Let other people into one of your chats. Sharing takes two decisions: who you add, and what General access allows. Sending the link on its own is not enough.

Switch to a different AI model in the middle of a chat. Your conversation continues with the new model from your next message on.

Use a ready-made BoodleBox assistant — like a Syllabus Generator, Rubric Generator, or Socratic Question Generator. Pick one and it opens a chat already set up to do that job.

Bring different AI models into a single conversation. Each model you switch to can see everything that came before — so one model can draft something and another can review or build on it.

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

Close your BoodleBox account — and, if you want, delete all of your data along with it.

Sign in to BoodleBox so you can use your chats, bots, and Knowledge Bank.

Sign in to BoodleBox using your existing school account — no separate BoodleBox password needed. This works once your institution's IT team has set up the SSO integration.

Switch BoodleBox between light and dark appearance.

Manage your personal account — your public profile, your app preferences, and your password — all under Personal Settings. These are yours alone and stay with you whichever workspace you're in.

Consolidate two BoodleBox accounts into one — for example, if you signed up with a personal email and later need to use your institutional email.

Reset your BoodleBox password if you've forgotten it or can't sign in.

You tried to sign up and BoodleBox says your email is already in use. Here's what that means and what to do.

Understand how BoodleBox protects your account — and the few things you can do to keep it safe.

Locked out of BoodleBox? Whether it won't accept your password, won't let you sign in at all, or lets you in to an account that looks empty — start with whichever description below matches what you're seeing. Each one links to the full fix.

Get your sign-in / sign-up verification code when it doesn't show up right away.

Understand what to do if your school isn't listed or SSO isn't available when you sign up.

Do your assignment in BoodleBox and submit it.

Prepare and format documents so BoodleBox reads them accurately.

Understand what happens to a document when you attach it, and why you no longer need to turn anything on to get a full read.

Give the AI a file to work from in any chat — either upload a new file or pick one you've already saved in your Knowledge Bank.

Write down how you like to work once, save it to your Knowledge Bank, and stop re-explaining yourself at the start of every chat.

Store files — PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, images — so the AI can read and use them. Upload a file once, then attach it to any chat.

Share a bot as a template — and make a shared bot your own.

Know which files you can upload to BoodleBox, the size limits, and how many you can attach.

Get an upload to your Knowledge Bank (or a bot's Knowledge) to finish when it seems slow or stuck.

Know what's included on the free Boodle Basic plan and what happens when you hit the daily limit.

Clear your browser's cache and cookies — a common fix when BoodleBox looks stale, won't load right, or has odd sign-in behavior.

Tell whether BoodleBox (or an AI model) is having a temporary outage, and what to do about it.

Tell the BoodleBox team about something that isn't working.

Fix a download that won't open or shows a broken link — a chat transcript, an exported file, or a generated document/image.
