# Personal Context

> Teach the Brain about your role, industry, and preferences so it gives more relevant answers.

## What is Personal Context?

Personal Context is your profile that the Brain reads before every conversation. It tells the AI about your role, industry, experience, objectives, and communication preferences. The result: answers that are tailored to you specifically, not generic.

## Setting Up Your Context

### Automatic Inference

The Brain can analyze your chat history and automatically infer your context:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings → Intelligence Context">
    Click **Settings** in the sidebar, then the **Context** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Re-Analyze">
    The Brain will scan your recent conversations and infer your profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the result">
    Your inferred context includes: role, industry, company type, experience level, objectives, pain points, and preferences.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Alex's screenshot note:** Take a screenshot of the Settings → Context tab showing the auto-inferred context profile with fields like Role, Industry, Company Type, etc.

### Manual Editing

You can also manually edit your context:

1. Go to **Settings → Context**
2. Click **Modify Profile**
3. Edit any field directly
4. Changes are saved automatically

### What's Included

| Field            | Description                   | Example                                             |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Role**         | Your job title/function       | VP of R\&D                                          |
| **Industry**     | Your sector                   | Molecular Diagnostics                               |
| **Company Type** | Type of organization          | IVD Manufacturer                                    |
| **Experience**   | Seniority level               | Senior (10+ years)                                  |
| **Objectives**   | What you're trying to achieve | Launch RSV panel, expand payer coverage             |
| **Pain Points**  | What challenges you face      | Reimbursement complexity, variant surveillance gaps |
| **Detail Level** | How detailed you want answers | Comprehensive with supporting data                  |
| **Format**       | Preferred response format     | Structured with headers and bullet points           |

## How It's Used

Your personal context is injected as a `[USER CONTEXT]` block in every Brain conversation. The AI uses it to:

* **Adjust technical depth** — A lab tech gets different explanations than a CEO
* **Focus on relevant topics** — Prioritizes your stated objectives
* **Use appropriate terminology** — Matches your industry's language
* **Format responses correctly** — Follows your preferred detail level and format

## Purging Your Data

If you want to reset your context:

1. Go to **Settings → Context**
2. Click **Purge Data**
3. Your personal context is cleared

<Warning>
  Purging your data removes all inferred context. The Brain will give generic responses until you re-analyze or manually set your context.
</Warning>

## Brand Voice (Separate Feature)

Brand Voice is a related but separate feature found in **Settings → Voice**. While Personal Context affects how the Brain talks *to you*, Brand Voice defines how your organization communicates externally.

Brand Voice lets you:

* Upload sample documents (PDFs, docs, text files)
* Provide URLs to your company's public content
* Generate an AI profile of your brand's tone, language, and persona
* Apply this voice when generating external-facing content

<Note>
  **Alex's screenshot note:** Take a screenshot of the Settings → Voice tab showing the Brand Voice configuration with upload area and URL input.
