Projects

Projects let you group conversations into distinct, manageable collections. If you're juggling client work, internal research, and a product launch at the same time, Projects keep each thread of work organized and easy to find.

Project instructions and context

Project instructions and context

Each Project can have its own instructions and shared context, similar to custom instructions but scoped to the Project.

  • Instructions: set a tone, define formatting rules, or provide domain-specific guidance. These apply to every conversation within the Project.
  • Additional context: upload files that are shared across all chats in the Project. Every conversation can reference these files without you having to re-upload them.
  • Cross-chat context: include other chats from the Project as context, so Le Chat can draw on previous conversations when answering.
note

Adding a Library to a Project isn't supported yet. You can still attach Libraries to individual chats within the Project.
