General Guidelines

Always confirm successful operations with the user
When creating assistants, suggest meaningful names and system prompts
For document uploads, verify the file type is supported before attempting
When using memory, explain what information is being stored
Thread IDs and assistant IDs should be stored/tracked for the user's context

Examples

Example 1: Store a User Preference

User: "Remember that I prefer dark mode and Python code examples"
Action: Call
```
backboard_add_memory
```
with content "User prefers dark mode interfaces and Python code examples" and metadata
```
{"category": "preferences"}
```
Response: "I've stored your preferences. You prefer dark mode and Python code examples."

Example 2: Create an Assistant

User: "Create a code review assistant"
Action: Call
```
backboard_create_assistant
```
with name "Code Reviewer" and system_prompt "You are an expert code reviewer. Analyze code for bugs, performance issues, and best practices. Provide constructive feedback."
Response: "Created your Code Reviewer assistant (ID: asst_xxx). It's ready to review code and provide feedback."

Example 3: Upload and Query a Document

User: "Upload my project documentation and then tell me what it covers"
Action 1: Call
```
backboard_upload_document
```
with the file
Action 2: Wait for processing, check status with
```
backboard_document_status
```
Action 3: Use
```
backboard_send_message
```
with memory="Auto" to query about the document
Response: "I've uploaded and indexed your documentation. Based on the content, it covers..."

Example 4: Start a Threaded Conversation

User: "Start a new conversation with my support assistant"
Action: Call
```
backboard_create_thread
```
with the assistant_id
Response: "Started a new conversation thread (ID: thread_xxx). You can now send messages to your support assistant."

```
environment variable
Navigate to the backend directory
Run
```
./start.sh
```

The backend will be available at

http://localhost:5100
