Instance Settings are the preferences that travel with this Digital Twin — the visual theme, what gets shown above each answer, your voice and realtime configuration, and the picture used to represent the instance. Each Digital Twin you belong to has its own settings, so switching instances always restores the look and behaviour you set up for that context.
“Instance” and “Digital Twin” mean the same thing throughout this guide. Pria uses both interchangeably depending on whether the surface is technical (Instance Settings) or product-facing (your Digital Twin).

​
Where to find Instance Settings

The Instance Settings lightbox opens from a few places:
  • The gear icon next to the Digital Twin name in the top bar.
  • The Settings → Instance entry in the sidebar.
  • The Configure button on a Digital Twin tile from the Digital Twin chooser.
The lightbox uses a sidebar (desktop) or top tabs (mobile) with one panel per area: General, Personalization, Voice, Conversation, Quotas, Knowledge, Tools, Assistants, Invite, and Billing. Changes save the moment you tick a box or pick a value — there is no separate Save button.

​
Conversation — model, reasoning, and behaviour

The Conversation panel sets the AI behind this Digital Twin and how it behaves for every member.
The Instance Settings Conversation tab showing a Conversation Model dropdown, Max Tokens, a Reasoning Effort dropdown, and Enable Moderation / Cite Sources / Compact History toggles.
  • Conversation Model — the model every conversation uses by default; -- Default -- uses Pria’s platform default. Expand Model Options for the full catalog (input/output sizes, price, and capability icons). See AI Models for Your Twin.
  • Max Tokens (Completion) — caps the length of each reply; Unspecified uses the model’s own default.
  • Reasoning Effort — how much the model thinks before answering (None / Low / Medium / High / Max). See Reasoning & Thinking.
  • Behaviour — Enable Moderation (screen prompts before they reach the model), Cite Sources (footnote RAG / web sources in answers), and Compact History (summarise older turns to save tokens).

​
Theme — Light, Dark, or User Directed

Found under Personalization → Appearance. Choose how the interface looks for every member of this Digital Twin:
OptionWhat it does
User DirectedEach member picks their own theme from their personal profile.
Dark ModeEvery member sees the instance in dark theme.
Light ModeEvery member sees the instance in light theme.
User Directed is the most common choice — it respects each member’s preference. Pick Dark or Light when you want a consistent look (for example, a presentation Digital Twin shown on shared screens).

​
Knowledge retrieval display

Found under Personalization → Display Details. Controls whether the file segments Pria retrieves for each answer appear above the response:
  • Display RAG/KAG Search Details — when enabled, each answer shows a magnifying-glass block listing the file segments retrieved, with file name, relevance percentage, and a chunk preview. Disable for a cleaner conversation view; confidential file content stays redacted regardless of this setting.
Turn this on while you are tuning your IP Vault — it shows you exactly which passages Pria pulled in for each question. Once you trust the retrieval, you can turn it off for a less cluttered surface.

​
Knowledge — graph & ingestion

The Knowledge panel controls how this Digital Twin’s vault is searched and how files are processed as they arrive.
The Instance Settings Knowledge tab describing the IP Vault, with Chunk keyword enrichment and Sanitize chunks ingestion toggles and an Enable KAG Fusion for your Digital Twin toggle.
  • Enable KAG Fusion — adds a knowledge-graph leg on top of dense RAG retrieval for richer, multi-hop answers (building the graph processes every file with an extra pass, so it costs more credits). See Knowledge Modes.
  • Ingestion — Chunk keyword enrichment (tags chunks with extracted keywords to improve recall) and Sanitize chunks (strips boilerplate before embedding) tune how new uploads are indexed.

​
Thinking and reasoning display

Pria can show the model’s reasoning trace above each answer (where the underlying model exposes one). There are two independent toggles under Personalization → Display Details:
  • Display Thinking Details — surfaces the reasoning trace on saved conversation history. Disable to hide it and stop persisting it on new answers.
  • Display Thinking Execution — surfaces the reasoning trace live, as the response streams. Disable to keep the live conversation surface minimal. This does not affect what was already persisted on previous answers.
Reasoning traces only appear for models that expose them — Claude 3.7+, Sonnet 4+, Opus 4+, OpenAI o-series and GPT-5+, Gemini 2.5+. Other models will show nothing even with both toggles on.
The Display Details section of Instance Settings showing Display Tools Details, Display Tool Execution, Display Thinking Details, and Display Thinking Execution toggles, each enabled.

​
Tool execution display

Pria tells you what tools the model invoked (web search, vault retrieval, calendar, image generation, etc.). Two independent toggles, again under Personalization → Display Details:
  • Display Tools Details — shows a wrench block summarising tool invocations on saved answers. Disable to hide tool details from the conversation view.
  • Display Tool Execution — shows live tool indicators interleaved with the response as it streams (“Running…” → “Ran ✓”). Disable to keep the live view minimal; persisted tool details on saved answers are unaffected.
Pair the live execution toggle with the persisted toggle the way you prefer:
LiveSavedWhat you see
OnOnActivity as it happens, plus a summary on history.
OffOnQuiet during streaming, full summary when revisiting.
OnOffActivity while streaming, clean history when you scroll back.
OffOffA pure conversational surface with no tool surfaces.

​
Voice and realtime preferences

Found in the Voice panel. Set up how Convo Mode — the speech-to-speech experience — behaves for this Digital Twin:
1

Pick a Convo Mode model

The Convo (Speech-to-Speech) Model dropdown lists every realtime-capable model available to this instance. Different providers offer different voice characters and latency profiles.
2

Pick a voice (where supported)

Providers that ship multiple voices show a Voice selector — pick the one that best fits your Digital Twin’s persona.
3

Tune audio behaviour

Per-provider extras (such as silence detection, turn-taking sensitivity, or output audio sampling) appear under the voice selector when the chosen model supports them.
For an overview of Convo Mode itself and how to launch a voice conversation, see Convo Mode.

​
Picture upload

Found in the General panel. The Digital Twin’s avatar is its own upload button — there is no separate “Change picture” button next to it.
1

Click the avatar

Click the circular avatar at the top of the General panel. A camera icon appears on hover to confirm it is interactive.
2

Choose or crop the image

The picture upload lightbox opens. Pick a file, drag it in, or paste from your clipboard, then crop to the round frame.
3

Confirm

The new avatar replaces the old one for every member of the Digital Twin as soon as the upload completes.
A small helper line beside the avatar reads “Click the picture to change it.” A subtle hover overlay reinforces the gesture for new users.

​
Saving and resetting

Instance Settings save as you go. There is no submit step — toggling a checkbox or picking a value writes the change immediately, and a small spinner near the top of the lightbox indicates the save is in flight. If a save fails (for example, your session expired), the toggle reverts to its previous state and an error appears. To revert a single setting, change it back manually. There is no global “reset to defaults” button — settings are per-Digital-Twin, and each one is intentionally scoped to a single observable behaviour.
Instance Settings affect every member of the Digital Twin. Theme, knowledge display, and thinking visibility apply to everyone in the instance, not just you. If you only want to change how things appear for yourself, look in your personal profile instead.
