What are Projects?

Projects are contextual workspaces where you can upload files, set custom instructions, and have conversations that draw on both the Theostack library and your own documents. They're designed for ongoing work — sermon series, book studies, course preparation, or any research that benefits from persistent context.

When you start a conversation inside a Project, the assistant automatically searches your uploaded files alongside the theological library, giving you answers grounded in both.

Creating a project

  1. Click Projects in the sidebar.
  2. Click New Project.
  3. Give your project a name and optional description.
  4. Set custom instructions (optional) — these guide how the assistant approaches questions within this project.
  5. Click Create.

Adding files

You can upload documents to a project to give the assistant additional context:

  1. Open your project.
  2. Click the upload area or drag and drop files.
  3. Supported formats include PDF and plain text.
  4. Files are processed and indexed automatically — this may take a moment for large documents.

Uploaded files are private to your account. They are never mixed with the curated theological library or shared with other users.

Custom instructions

Each project can have custom instructions that shape how the assistant responds. For example:

  • "Focus on Reformed Baptist perspectives when answering."
  • "This is a sermon series on the Gospel of Mark. Prioritize commentaries on Mark."
  • "I'm preparing for a seminary class on systematic theology. Assume graduate-level familiarity."

Instructions persist across all conversations within the project.
