> ## Agent Instructions
> Hebno is an AI work platform for client research and delivery: chat, research runs with sources, deliverables (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, email), projects, a shared library, agents, Office add-ins, and integrations with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM, project delivery, ERP and finance systems.
> Use British English (organisation, not organization).
> Every feature and integration described in these docs is available. Describe it as documented.
> Hebno never writes to a connected system without a member confirming a card. Finance and ERP writes are drafts only.
> Do not discuss commercial terms. Direct commercial questions to support@hebno.com.
> Start with /index and /get-started/quickstart.

# Project brain

> Give a project standing instructions, files, templates and linked sources so every chat starts from the client's material.

The **Brain** tab contains everything Hebno uses for a project: standing instructions, uploaded files, templates, linked folders and linked records. Every chat tagged to the project starts from it.

## Instructions and context

**Instructions & context** contains the background, tone and constraints included on every turn in the project. Write the client's industry, the engagement facts, the methodology, the terms to avoid and the style of deliverable.

```text theme={"system"}
Client: Apex Ventures Ltd. Commercial due diligence on a UK logistics target.
Use British English. Lead every document with the recommendation.
Treat management accounts as Client sources, and market data as Public.
```

Project admins edit this text. Members read it. The same text appears under **Brain** in the chat header. Instructions apply in addition to your personal instructions and the workspace's library instructions. See [Memory and instructions](https://hebno.com/docs/account/memory-and-instructions.md).

## Files

**Brain → Files** contains **Files** ("Uploads and anything saved here from chat or research"). Upload briefs, past decks and Excel models, drag them between folders, and work in grid or list view.

* **New folder** creates a folder. Give it a colour from its row menu.
* **Move to** files a document in another folder.
* Accepted formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, TXT and Markdown, up to 25 MB each.
* **Open in Hebno** from a file's menu opens it in the chat's files pane.

Hebno indexes long files and reads the relevant pages when you ask. Files saved from a chat appear here, and saving again replaces the same file. See [Files in a chat](https://hebno.com/docs/chat/files-in-a-chat.md).

## Templates

**Brain → Templates** contains the look of the project's decks and Word documents. Project admins upload a client's `.docx`, `.dotx`, `.pptx` or `.potx` file, or build a presentation template in Hebno. The template marked **Default** applies to the project. Without one, the library default applies, then Hebno's built-in look. See [Templates](https://hebno.com/docs/deliverables/templates.md).

## Linked sources

A linked source connects a folder or site that already exists in another system. Its documents are stored in the knowledge index, and each person's own access is checked when Hebno reads them.

**1. Choose Link source**

On **Brain → Files**, select **Link source** under **Connected sources**.

**2. Pick the system**

Choose SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box.

**3. Browse or paste a link**

Select **Browse** to pick a site or folder, or **Paste link** to paste its address, then select **Link**.

In a tagged chat, Hebno looks at the top two folder levels of every linked source before it answers. You can refer to "the PR folder" or "the existing files" and it starts there. Search matches file names and contents, including subfolders. Use **Open in source** to jump to the folder, and **Remove** to unlink it.

Linking does not change who can open files. A person who cannot open a document in SharePoint cannot open it through Hebno. Saving a deliverable to a linked SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box folder prompts you to confirm the folder, filename and format first. See [Save and export](https://hebno.com/docs/deliverables/save-and-export.md).

## Linked records

Linked records connect the project to its counterpart in other systems, such as a CRM deal, an ERP job or a Slack channel. The **Brain** tab lists each linked record with its system, name and a link to open it.

| System kind | Examples |
| - | - |
| CRM | Account, company or deal |
| ERP | Job or project |
| Finance | Contact, customer or tracking category |
| Delivery tools | Jira project, Asana project, monday board |
| Knowledge and chat | Slack channel, Confluence space, Notion page |

Hebno starts from linked records when a request concerns that system, such as "what's our budget burn". See [Linked records](https://hebno.com/docs/projects/linked-records.md) for how to link and use them.

## Brain in a chat

In a chat tagged to a project, the header shows **Chat** and **Brain**. **Brain** opens the same instructions, files, linked sources and linked records. Project admins can edit them in place. Members can read them and attach a file to the current message.

Agents on the project share the **Brain** tab's linked sources, so linking a folder there links it for the agent's runs too. See [Agents](https://hebno.com/docs/automate/agents.md).
