Workspace & Navigation

The side panel is your quick-launch hub in Storytell. You can jump into a chat, organize your files, or navigate projects, all from one place. Here’s what each section does and what to expect as we keep leveling it up.

Navigating the side panel

The top navigation acts as a navigation directory, showing you exactly where you are in Storytell at all times.

Instead of switching views blindly, you can see your current location and move between levels of your workspace with confidence.

Top Navigation Directory

Keyboard shortcuts in Storytell help you navigate, switch Projects, and move between prompts faster. By default, they are enabled and appear when you hover over relevant buttons for quick reference. You can turn them off in Settings if you prefer a mouse-driven workflow.

Organizing Your Knowledge

Collections

A Collection is a way to create a "fence" around subsets of your data, so you can work with just that data. Instead of asking Storytell to answer questions based on All Knowledge every time, you can define a smaller, more relevant subset of your data and save it as a named Collection. This gives you control over what the AI considers as inputs to its answers, helps reduce noise, and allows you to reuse the same scope across different chats and workflows.

Data Collections: Overview

Creating a Collection is about defining a useful subset of your Knowledge, then saving it for future use. You can create a view from Labels, from manually selected Assets, or from a combination of both.

Create new Collections

Manage Collection

Collections are not just for organization. They actively shape how you interact with Storytell. Once you have created a view, you can use it in multiple places.

Using Collections in Workflows

Labels

Using @mentions

Use your voice to input text directly into Storytell by speaking through your microphone.

Expert Lens

Storytell lets you control the level of “thinking” applied to responses for each prompt. This setting determines how the AI processes and reasons when generating answers, so you can match the depth of reasoning to the task at hand.

Configuring response thinking levels

Storytell’s tools let you shape how it gathers information, analyzes sources, and creates outputs. By enabling or disabling specific tools, you control where responses come from, how external content is used, and which capabilities are available for each task.

Storytell Tools

Manually choose which large language model (LLM) Storytell uses for your prompts. By default, Storytell selects the model that delivers the most reliable results, but you can override it at any time or bring your own API keys if you're an enterprise customer.

Selecting a specific LLM in Storytell

Storytell’s Scout tool helps you find email addresses and gather insights about key contacts directly from your workspace. It’s a fast way to get both the contact info you need and context about the person’s current priorities.
