Use ExtraBrain Profiles
Profiles control the guidance ExtraBrain uses for an answer. Open Settings → Profiles, or use the active profile chip in the main window.
Built-In Profiles
Section titled “Built-In Profiles”| Profile | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Assistant | General questions and mixed desktop tasks. |
| Coding | Implementation, debugging, code review, and algorithms. |
| System Design | Architecture, requirements, bottlenecks, and tradeoffs. |
| Behavioral | Experience stories and interview response structure. |
| Meeting | Decisions, action items, summaries, and live contribution. |
| HR Screen | Recruiter and screening conversations. |
Auto Or Pinned
Section titled “Auto Or Pinned”Auto switches among enabled system profiles as the conversation changes. Pinned keeps your chosen system or custom profile active until you change it. Custom profiles are selected explicitly rather than chosen by Auto.
Use the profile chip to inspect or change the current selection. Disable system profiles you do not want included in automatic selection.
Profile Details And Behavior
Section titled “Profile Details And Behavior”Open a profile to inspect its guidance and available controls. Profile Behavior can include expanding the window when analysis starts, starting analysis after a region screenshot, and using full session context. Some controls require Pro.
Profile chat actions provide reusable prompts in the chat composer. Built-in actions cannot be edited; use custom actions where the UI offers them.
Custom profiles require Pro. For instructions that should apply across profiles, use Personalization. A profile changes guidance; it does not grant provider access or macOS permissions.
