What Projects are
Projects are containers that organise your work in ToRun — a way to group related chats, generated assets, and activity so they live together instead of being scattered across your account. Projects are personal to you.
Why use Projects
- Organisation — keep a body of work (a client, a topic, an initiative) in one place.
- Context — work that belongs together stays together, which makes it easier to find and continue.
- Separation — keep unrelated efforts apart so one project's clutter doesn't bleed into another.
Project limits and tiers
Your plan includes a number of projects. The exact allowance depends on your subscription tier.
Going over the project cap (paid extra slots)
If you're a funded user (you have an active subscription/wallet) and you exceed your plan's project limit, ToRun doesn't simply block you — you can keep an extra project as a paid, metered slot:
- The over-cap project is billed on a small daily metered basis (on the order of a dollar per month of usage).
- If your wallet runs out, the extra project is disabled (not deleted) until funds are available again.
- If you delete an over-cap project, the metered slot is reclaimed and billing for it stops.
This keeps you from being hard-walled the moment you cross the cap, while still tying extra capacity to real, transparent cost.
Cost transparency
Any AI work you do inside a project is billed the same way as anywhere else — one BillingRecord per call with a pricing snapshot. The project itself is just an organising container; over-cap projects add the small metered slot charge described above.
Tips
- Create a project per distinct effort rather than one giant catch-all — retrieval and context both improve.
- If you only occasionally need an extra project, the metered over-cap slot is cheaper than a tier upgrade; delete it when you're done to stop the charge.
- Watch your wallet balance if you rely on an over-cap project — a depleted wallet disables it until topped up.
Watch how it works
Projects, your own files and memory: an AI assistant that knows your work
A project groups related chats, files and memory, and every new chat in it follows the project's system prompt. Add PDFs, documents or text files under Knowledge and the assistant searches them in that project's chats. Memory works across all your chats: mention something worth keeping and you don't have to say it again. Everything it remembers is on your memory page, where you can edit it or make it forget for good.
