Settings

Settings is Row-Bot's configuration center. It affects model providers, model choices, documents, tools, skills, system access, accounts, utilities, tracker, knowledge, Buddy, voice, channels, MCP, plugins, and preferences.

Authenticated owner sessions receive this complete Settings experience in both desktop and compact presentation. On phones and tablets, the layout adapts to the viewport; the available settings and authority do not change.

How Settings Is Organized​

  • Providers connects local, hosted, subscription, and custom model providers.
  • Models chooses defaults and pinned Quick Choices.
  • Documents manages uploads, extraction, embeddings, and vector rebuilds.
  • Tools controls progressive external capability loading, retrieval compression, and search and knowledge tools.
  • Skills manages Smart Skills and Skills Hub access.
  • System configures local access, workspace boundaries, window behavior, tunnels, logs, and diagnostics.
  • Accounts connects account-level integrations.
  • Utilities manages built-in helper tools.
  • Tracker configures structured personal logs.
  • Knowledge manages memory, graph, embeddings, and wiki export.
  • Buddy controls companion visibility and appearance, plus the native drag-to-undock desktop overlay and its compact selected-thread experience.
  • Voice configures Talk, Dictate, read-aloud, models, devices, and diagnostics.
  • Channels configures external messaging connectors.
  • MCP manages external MCP tool servers.
  • Plugins manages installed plugins and Custom Tool promotion.
  • Preferences changes identity, launch behavior, background intelligence, updates, and migration.

A Good Setup Order​

  1. Providers
  2. Models
  3. Documents and Tools
  4. Skills
  5. System access
  6. Integrations: Accounts, Channels, MCP, Plugins
  7. Voice and Buddy
  8. Preferences

Safety Notes​

Credentials belong in Providers, Accounts, Channels, MCP, or plugin-specific settings, not in chat messages. Enable only the tools and integrations you intend to use. Review approvals before actions that write files, run commands, use accounts, contact external services, or send messages.
