## What it is

A chat project is a home for one brand or topic. You write instructions once, add files such as brand guides and past campaigns, and every chat inside the project uses them automatically.

## Who can use it

Everyone. The code does not limit projects by plan. A chat project belongs to your account and only you see it. Chat projects are separate from Studio projects.

## Cost

Mixed. Creating and managing a project is free. Replies in a project follow the normal chat cost: **Auto** is free, other choices use credits.

## Where to find it

Open **Infinall Chat** and click **Projects** in the chat sidebar.

4. Click **Save**.

## How to add files

## How to put a chat in a project

- To start in a project: open the project and type in its message box.
- To move an existing chat: open the three dots next to the chat in the sidebar and choose **Add to project** or **Move to project**, then pick a project. Choose **Remove from project** to take it out.
- In an open chat: click the plus button (**Add files**), then **Add to project**. The list says **Move this chat to** and marks the current one with **Current**. **New project** is at the bottom, and **Remove** shows if the chat is already in one.

## Options explained

**Instructions.** Text that applies to every chat in the project.

**Files.** Documents Infinall AI can read in every project chat. They are read once and searched when needed.

**Capacity meter.** The Files card shows how much of the project's file space is used, for example "12% of project capacity used". It is measured against about 1,000,000 tokens of reading space.

**Brand.** A project does not pick a Brand Brain by itself. Pick the brand in the chat's **Brand Brain** chip. See [use your brand](/docs/brand-brain/use-your-brand).

**Delete project.** Deletes the project and every chat and file in it. It asks you to confirm and cannot be undone.

## Limits

- Project file types: PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV and JSON.
- Each project file can be up to 20 MB.
- A project name can be up to 120 characters and a description up to 500 characters.
- Files must contain readable text. Pictures and scanned PDFs do not.
