AI preferences and exemplars
Struction can write scopes in your company's format and language rather than a generic one. Two things make that happen: written preferences that steer how it generates and talks, and exemplar scopes that show it how your company writes a scope. Both live under Settings › AI Settings.

Where it lives
Open Settings › AI Settings. There are two tabs: User Preferences, which apply to your conversations across all projects, and Organization, which apply to all members in your organization.
Written preferences
Each tab has a Preferences field where you describe, in plain language, how Struction should work for you: how to word scope items, which trades you break out, what to always exclude, how formal chat should be. The placeholder gives the idea (Use company standard markup of 15%. Concrete waste factor is 5%…). Click Save Preferences to keep it.
Below it, Preference Documents takes PDF or DOCX files of your standards (up to 50 MB) via Upload Document; Struction extracts and learns from them.
Chat can help you build preferences as you go. Tell it remember that we always exclude trenching from the electrical scope and it shows a card (Remember this for future chats? Adds this to Settings › AI preferences) with Deny and Remember.
Tool approvals
By default, chat asks before it does anything that creates, edits or deletes: it proposes the change and waits for you. On the User Preferences tab, Tool Approvals › Skip approval prompts turns that off, and chat tools run immediately instead. The same switch appears in chat's options menu as Bypass tool approval.
Good to know — Leave approvals on while you're learning what chat will do with a loose instruction. "Tidy up the electrical scope" is a much bigger sentence than it looks.
Exemplar scopes
On the Organization tab, SOW Exemplars takes examples of your own scopes of work through Upload SOW Exemplar: Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PDF or DOCX, up to 50 MB each. Struction uses them as reference templates when it generates new scopes.
Good to know — Preferences and exemplars apply to scopes generated after you set them up. A project generated earlier won't reflect them until you regenerate its scopes.
Workflow example — Your firm never carries hoisting in the drywall scope and always calls Division 09 "Finishes — Interior". Write both into the organization preferences and upload last year's best drywall SOW as an exemplar, so the next project's drywall scope starts from how your firm writes them.
