Getting Started

info

The screenshots used in this documentation are mostly taken from a Visual Studio installation. Where differences are substantial we will provide separate screenshots for other IDEs.

Login / Sign Up

After you install Priset and open the tool inside your IDE, the first thing you will see is the tool's login screen (see below). To sign in or sign up click on the big button in the middle.

Visual Studio hint

We like to keep the Priset chat window docked together with the Solution Explorer and Git Changes windows, as we would refer to those two windows frequently while working with Priset.

VS Code info

When logging in into VS Code extension, your web browser will prompt you to allow the website to Open VS Code. You need to allow this to happen in order to log in.

This will open the Priset website login / sign up window as shown below.

To log in, simply enter your credentials in the designated fields. If you don't have an account yet, you can easily create one by signing up (see below for the instructions). Should you ever forget your password, you can reset it by clicking on the Forgot your password? link.

To sign up for a new account, you can either click on the social buttons (i.e. Continue with Google or Continue with GitHub) or you can click on the Sign up link on the login screen. Clicking on the link will open the sign-up form, as shown below:

Fill in the required information, including your name, email address, and a secure password. Once you've completed the form, click the Sign up button to create your account. By signing up, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. After successfully signing up, you will be automatically logged in.

The same screens and process are used to login to the Priset Admin Console. More information on how to open the Admin Console can be found here.

The Chat Window

Upon successful login, the Priset tool chat window will show up (shown below).

This is your primary command center for interacting with the Priset AI. It's a powerful, context-aware interface designed to feel like a conversation with a senior engineering partner. The rest of this page will walk you through each component of the window.

1. Main Conversation Pane

The large, central area of the window is the Main Conversation Pane. This is where your interaction with Priset unfolds. It will display:

• Your Prompts: The instructions you send to the AI.
• Priset's Responses: The AI's plain-text explanations, plans, and indications that user input is required (in such a case a dialog box will pop up asking you to provide additional input).

2. Prompt Input Box

Located at the bottom of the window, this is where you write your instructions for Priset. The key to getting powerful results is to write clear, specific, and detailed prompts.

pro tip

For complex tasks, structure your prompt with numbered steps or clear acceptance criteria, just as you would in a project management ticket.

3. The Action Buttons

This is the main control cluster for managing your session and running tasks.

Model / Mode Dropdown

Location: Bottom left corner.
Default: Developer
Function: This dropdown allows you to tailor the AI's behavior for specific tasks. While "Developer" mode is the all-purpose default for generating and modifying code, you can also choose "Junior Developer" to reduce your cost, or "Expert Developer" for tasks where you need a more powerful AI. Other modes to specialize the AI's focus may be available depending on your subscription (e.g., "Code Reviewer," "Security Analyst" etc.).

Available Credit

Location: Bottom center.
Function: This displays your current balance of available credits. Priset tasks consume credits based on their complexity (e.g., generating a small function uses fewer credits than scaffolding an entire microservice). This number helps you track your usage.

Run Button

Location: Towards bottom right.
Function: After writing your prompt in the input box, click this button to send your instruction to Priset for processing (upon clicking the button image will change to the red Stop icon). Click on the button again to stop the processing .

New Session Button

Location: Towards bottom right.
Function: Click this to start a fresh conversation with Priset. This is crucial when you are switching to a completely new, unrelated task. Starting a new session clears the previous context, ensuring the AI focuses only on the current problem without being influenced by past instructions.

Refresh Credits Button

Location: Bottom right corner.
Function: Click this to manually update your "Available Credit" display. While it usually updates automatically, you can use this button to poll for the latest balance after a purchase or credit reward.

My Account Button

Location: Top right corner.
Function: This button opens a dropdown menu for managing your account and accessing important information.
The menu contains the following options:

• Welcome username Greetings to the specific user.
• About Priset: Displays information about Priset.
• Manage Priset Subscription: This will open the Priset Admin Console in your web browser, where you can manage your plan, view billing history, and update payment details.
• Logout: Signs you out of your Priset account within the IDE.

On Startup

When starting up Priset will analyze the current solution. As this may take some time it will display the progress bar and some additional information.
