The AI Settings page controls how Zella AI works for you — what it remembers, which model it uses, and which parts of your TradeZella account it can reach.
How Do I Open AI Settings?
Click your account menu in the top-right corner.
Select Settings.
Open the AI Settings tab in the left sidebar.

What Is Core Memory and How Do I Edit It?
Core memory is what Zella AI remembers about your trading style, instruments, goals, and preferences. Zella uses it to give answers that fit how you trade.
Type anything you want Zella to remember in the Core memory box.
You can use up to 3,000 characters.
Click the Save changes button below when you're done.
To clear everything saved here, click Reset core memory.
A confirmation prompt appears — click OK, then click Save changes to apply the reset.
⚠️ Important: Resetting removes everything Zella AI has saved to core memory. The change only takes effect once you click "OK" and Save changes.
How Do I Choose Which Chat Model Zella AI Uses?
The default chat model sets how much reasoning Zella AI uses. Higher tiers give deeper reasoning; lower tiers are faster and lighter.
Low — fastest, lightest responses
Medium — balanced (default)
High — deepest reasoning
What Does Smart Model Routing Do?
When Smart model routing is on, Zella AI sends simple questions to a faster, cheaper model and keeps your selected model for anything that needs more reasoning.
Leave it on to save time and cost, or turn it off to use your selected model for every message.
What Does Automatic Memory Do?
When Automatic Memory is on, Zella AI can learn and update its memory from your conversations, so you don't have to add everything to core memory by hand.
Turn it off if you'd rather decide what Zella remembers yourself.
How Do I Control What Zella AI Can Access?
Capabilities decide what Zella AI can do in chat. Each toggle covers one part of your TradeZella account or a set of in-app actions. Turn a capability off to keep Zella out of that area.

What Are the Advanced Context Settings?
Click Show advanced context settings to fine-tune how much of a conversation Zella AI keeps in view at once. Most users can leave these at their defaults.
Context limit (tokens) — the largest a single chat can get before Zella stops the conversation to protect cost. Raising it lets longer chats continue but costs more per message. Default 100,000, max 250,000.
Warning at (%) — the point at which Zella shows a "running low on context" warning, so you can start a fresh chat before hitting the limit. Default 80%.
Full-detail recent turns — how many of your most recent turns keep their full detail. Older turns are condensed into a short summary to save context; a higher number keeps more detail but uses more of your context budget. Default 2.
How Do I Save My Changes?
Click Save changes at the bottom of the page. Your settings apply to your next chat with Zella AI.
That's it! Zella AI will now work the way you've set it up.
