How BB Works

An overview of BB's operation, capabilities, and configuration options across all professional domains.

Objectives-Driven Intelligence

Conversation Structure

BB maintains context through a hierarchical objectives system that works across all domains:

  • Conversation Goal: Set at start, provides overall context and purpose for your project
  • Statement Objectives: Generated for each user input, guides immediate tasks toward your goal
  • Turn Tracking: Monitors progress within maximum allowed turns (default: 25) to maintain focus

Domain-Specific Examples:

Research Project:

Goal: "Analyze climate adaptation strategies in coastal cities"
Objective: "Extract key findings from these 15 papers"

Content Project:

Goal: "Create Q3 content strategy for sustainable investing"
Objective: "Develop an outline for the pillar content"

Capabilities Across Domains

BB employs a variety of capabilities to support different professional domains:

Research Capabilities:

  • Literature analysis and synthesis
  • Research methodology development
  • Data processing and visualization
  • Academic manuscript preparation

Content Creation Capabilities:

  • Content research and organization
  • Structured content planning
  • Multi-channel content adaptation
  • Brand voice consistency management

Analysis Capabilities:

  • Data source integration
  • Statistical analysis and pattern identification
  • Interactive visualization creation
  • Business insights extraction

Development Capabilities:

  • System architecture design
  • Code implementation and refactoring
  • Testing and documentation
  • Integration with existing systems

Technical Operation

Project Understanding

BB builds an understanding of your entire project context, regardless of domain:

  • File Discovery: BB explores your project files to understand their content and relationships
  • Context Building: BB maintains awareness of your project's structure and purpose across conversations
  • Domain Awareness: BB adapts its approach based on your project type and domain-specific needs

Project Types:

  • Research Projects: Literature collections, data sets, research notes
  • Content Projects: Content strategies, drafts, assets, distribution materials
  • Analysis Projects: Data sources, analysis scripts, visualizations, reports
  • Development Projects: Source code, configurations, tests, documentation

Project Manipulation

BB can create, modify, and organize files across all project types:

  • Content Changes: BB can modify existing files or create new ones with precision
  • Project Organization: BB can reorganize files and directories to improve project structure
  • Integration: BB can help integrate with external services and APIs

Domain-Specific Examples:

  • Research: Creating structured literature reviews, organizing research findings
  • Content: Developing content calendars, adapting content for different channels
  • Analysis: Building interactive dashboards, creating data visualization scripts
  • Development: Implementing features, refactoring code, creating documentation

Resource Management

Token Usage and Conversation Management

Managing resources effectively ensures optimal performance across all project types:

  • Conversations have a token limit to maintain quality and performance
  • Each conversation turn and file contributes to token usage
  • Breaking complex projects into focused conversations improves efficiency
  • Using conversation summaries helps maintain context while reducing token usage

Efficiency Tips by Domain:

Research Projects:

  • Focus on one research question per conversation
  • Share only relevant papers for specific analyses
  • Use separate conversations for literature review vs. data analysis

Content Projects:

  • Create separate conversations for strategy vs. creation
  • Focus on one content piece or channel at a time
  • Use conversation summaries to track content decisions

Configuration Options

Customizing BB for Your Needs

BB can be configured to better support your specific domain and project requirements:

Turn Limit

Control conversation length to manage complexity:

api.maxTurns: 25 // Default value

Allowed Commands

Configure external commands BB can access:

api.toolConfigs.run_command.allowedCommands: [ // File operations "ls", "cd", "pwd", "mv", "cp", "mkdir", // Content operations "cat", "find", "grep", "tree", // Version control "git branch", "git checkout", // Add domain-specific tools here // ... ]

Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues

Incremental Progress

What you might observe:

  • BB making multiple small changes rather than one large change
  • Verifying each step before proceeding
  • Adjusting approach based on results

This is normal behavior across all domains. BB works incrementally to ensure accuracy and quality.

Clarifying Questions

Why it happens:

  • BB needs to understand your objective clearly
  • Domain-specific details may require clarification
  • Project context influences the approach

Answering BB's questions helps ensure the results match your expectations. More context leads to better outcomes.

Resource Limitations

Solutions:

  • Break complex objectives into smaller conversations
  • Use conversation summaries to maintain context
  • Focus on one aspect of your project at a time
  • Remove unnecessary files from the conversation
