History Compaction
History Compaction
- As a conversation grows, Pria monitors the total token count
- When approaching the model’s context limit, older messages are grouped and summarized by an LLM
- The summaries replace the original messages, preserving key context while reducing token usage
- Base64-encoded data (images, files) is automatically stripped from compacted history
- Tool results are enriched with human-readable summaries before compaction

Autonomous Agent
A single switch that makes this Digital Twin eligible to run as an autonomous agent. Turning it on reveals the Agents tab, where you provision and manage the agent’s workspace.User Quotas
Per-user credit caps for this instance, shown alongside any caps inherited from the parent account and a live count of how many users are currently at their limit. Caps limit how much a single user may consume without affecting the instance’s total balance. See Credit Management for how caps interact with pooled credits and account-wide limits.Realtime / Convo
The entry points to live voice. Provider choice, voice selection, and avatar tuning live in the Personalization and AI Models tab — see Realtime Voice & Avatars.Enable Convo (Speech-to-Speech)

Controls the read-aloud voice used to speak responses in text conversations (distinct from Convo, which is a live voice call).Integrations

Embedding & LTI
Public Authorized URLs — the URLs authorized to embed or call your instance. All inbound requests are validated against this list.Pria MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard for connecting AI to external systems, and your Digital Twin speaks it in both directions. Outbound — the twin calling external MCP servers as extra tools — is configured on the Connector MCP and Tools tab. The settings here govern the inbound direction and the identity signing used on outbound calls.Enable MCP Server

Curation
Curation
POST /api/curation/search. Used by the Praxis LXP to populate its AI Curated Content library.Switching Curation on generates a secret the first time. Give that secret to the calling platform; it is sent as Authorization: Bearer <secret>. It is scoped to the Digital Twin rather than to a person, so curation keeps working when staff change roles.To stop curation, switch Curation off. Do not blank the secret — turning the flag off refuses calls cleanly, whereas an emptied secret makes the calling platform look misconfigured instead.Canvas
Connect your Digital Twin to Canvas LMS so it can query courses, assignments, grades, and more through the Canvas REST APIs. Without these credentials, thecall_canvas and search_canvas
tools are unavailable.
Canvas Client ID

Authenticate with Canvas on SDK Login
Chat Completion
Exposes this Digital Twin behind an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completion endpoint, so external tools that already speak that protocol can talk to your twin.Anam Meeting Bot
Credentials and behaviour for the meeting agent that can join a Zoom, Meet, or Teams call as a participant, appearing with the twin’s avatar and voice. Engagement mode, naming, wake-words, pronunciations, and answer length are all documented in Meeting Agent; avatar and voice tuning itself lives in Realtime Voice & Avatars.ElevenLabs Voice Cloning
Connect your Digital Twin to an ElevenLabs Conversational AI agent to enable voice capabilities — both for Convo Mode and for embeddable client widgets. Two credentials are entered here:- ElevenLabs Agent ID — the Agent ID from your ElevenLabs Conversational AI agent
- ElevenLabs API Key — authenticates requests between ElevenLabs and your Digital Twin; must match the key in your ElevenLabs agent’s Custom LLM settings
Anam Avatar
Credentials and tuning for the Anam photorealistic avatar used in Convo Mode. Configuration lives in Realtime Voice & Avatars.Cartesia Voice
Credentials and voice selection for Cartesia, one of the Convo Mode voice providers. See Realtime Voice & Avatars.Microsoft
Connect Microsoft 365 services using the same two identity models as Google.Kaltura
Connect to the Kaltura Video Platform for video search, playback, and media interactions. Enter your Partner ID and API Secret (plus a Client ID when using a user-level secret) — see Cloud Services for where to find each value in the Kaltura Management Console.Amazon Web Services
Connect your own AWS services — primarily Amazon Bedrock for model access and Amazon S3 for storage — so the twin uses your AWS account under your organization’s billing and security policies.AWS Region
AWS Region
- us-east-1 (N. Virginia) — Broadest Bedrock model availability
- us-west-2 (Oregon) — Good Bedrock coverage
- eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) — European data residency
- ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) — Asia-Pacific

API Keys
By default the Digital Twin uses Praxis-managed credits for every AI provider. When you provide your own API key, the twin routes that provider’s requests directly to your account — bypassing Praxis credits for that provider and giving you control over billing, rate limits, and model availability. This is the bring-your-own-key (BYOK) section.OpenAI API Key

Each Model Use — a job the twin does — is assigned a model here.Tab: Connector MCP and Tools
Connector MCP
Outbound MCP connectors — external MCP servers this Digital Twin may call as extra tools. Each connector is authored with its own configuration and credentials. See MCP Servers and Connectors.Tools
Governs which platform tools the twin may use.Disabled Tools
Disabled Tools
generate_image for a text-only academic instance, or hiding call_canvas when Canvas is not configured. Tools are excluded from the model’s tool list at request time, so even if the model tries to call them the request is rejected upstream.Tool Result Size Limit
Tool Result Size Limit
60000 characters.Maximum characters returned by a single tool call; longer results are truncated. Increase for instances working with large documents or detailed API responses. Decrease to reduce token usage and protect against runaway tool output.Tab: Onboarding Questions
The guided questions new users answer on first run, whose answers feed the twin’s understanding of each person. See Onboarding Questions.Tab: RAG and Files
How the twin retrieves from the IP Vault, and the vault itself.User Access
Who may upload, and the per-user file policy — including whether personal-vault content is searchable on this instance.Ingestion Pipeline
How uploaded files are chunked, sanitized, and enriched before they become searchable.RAG
Retrieval mode (Disabled / Normal / KAG Fusion / Search Only), chunk limits, thekmeanScore
similarity threshold, and the embedding model.
KAG (Knowledge Graph)
Knowledge-graph extraction over ingested documents, and the analysis model that performs it.Files in IP Vault
The vault itself, embedded directly in the tab — upload, preview, edit segments, and remove files without leaving the editor. Full reference: Knowledge & RAG Configuration.Tab: Assistants

Available Assistants
A multi-select of specific assistants to hide from the library on this instance, even if they exist in the catalog. Use this to retire an assistant without deleting it. Full reference: Assistants.Tab: Agents
Provision and manage autonomous agent workspaces for this Digital Twin — workspace status, scheduled heartbeat tasks, live sessions, and the approval queue.Tab: Twin Memory
Twin Memory is the umbrella for what the twin knows about a person across conversations. It has two parts, each with its own section.Long-term Memory
What the twin forms on its own from conversations, with a visible receipt for every memory it saves. Controls here decide whether it is available on this instance, whether it is limited to administrators, and whether memories may be shared across sibling twins. Display Memory Details (on by default) controls whether the expandable Memory row under an answer lists the memories that were Recalled to shape the reply. Turn it off for a quieter transcript — memories are still used, they are just not listed. Anything the twin Saved, Updated or Forgotten during the exchange is always shown in the same row, so a user can always see what was kept. The same controls are also available to instance administrators from inside the product, in Instance Settings → Knowledge → Long-term Memory (the first card of that tab). Turning the feature on or off and account-wide sharing remain platform-administrator actions and show as read-only there for other admins.Shared Memory
Facts the whole instance reads — set once by an administrator and available to every user of this Digital Twin. Full reference: Twin Memory and Memory Parameters & Act As.Related
