Chibi, the Mochii AI assistantChibi

Mochii has an AI assistant built right in, and his name is Chibi. Chibi knows about your projects, tasks, and goals — so instead of digging around, you can just ask. And when you want, Chibi rolls up his sleeves and builds things for you, too.

📖
In plain English: who's Chibi?

Chibi is Mochii's AI assistant. Open Chibi in the app or use the /ask command in Slack. The name and artwork are shared across Chibitek platforms.

What Chibi actually knows

Here's the thing that makes Chibi useful: he's not a generic chatbot guessing from the internet. Chibi is grounded in your organization's real data — your projects, tasks, EOS Rocks, Issues, and L10 meetings. When you ask a question, he looks at what's actually in your Mochii and answers from that.

And just as importantly — if something isn't in your Mochii, Chibi tells you he doesn't see it instead of making something up. No confident nonsense. If he can't find it, he says so.

⚠️
Heads-up

Chibi knows your Mochii world, not the whole internet. Ask him "what's overdue on the Acme project?" and he's brilliant. Ask him "what's the capital of France?" and that's not his job. He's your work assistant, not a search engine.

What you can ask

Talk to Chibi like you'd talk to a sharp teammate who's read every project. Great questions to start with:

  • "What's overdue right now?"
  • "What should I focus on today?"
  • "Summarize where the Smith Dental project stands."
  • "Which Rocks are off track this quarter?"
  • "What Issues are still open?"
  • "Who's got the most on their plate right now?"

Chibi answers with specifics — real project names, real statuses — and tends to reply in tidy bullet points you can act on.

What Chibi can do for you

Chibi doesn't just talk — he can build. Describe what you need in plain English and he'll put it together. The big ones:

🏗️

Build a whole project

Say "set up a Microsoft 365 migration for client Acme" and Chibi drafts the whole thing — phases, tasks, even subtasks — using sensible best-practice structure.

➕

Add tasks to a project

"Add the onboarding checklist to the Globex project" and Chibi generates the tasks right where they belong.

📝

Summarize a project

Get a clean catch-up on any project's status without reading every task yourself.

🧭

Take you there

Ask to go somewhere in the app and Chibi points you to the right page.

💡
Tip: you're always in the driver's seat

When Chibi is about to build something, he tells you what he's going to make and waits for your OK before creating it. Nothing appears in your projects until you say go — so it's safe to brainstorm out loud. Don't like the draft? Tweak your request and ask again.

Chibi remembers — and shares what he learns

After you chat with Chibi, he quietly looks back over the conversation and pulls out a few small, durable facts worth holding onto — a preference you mentioned, a decision that got made, that sort of thing. Those get saved to Chibitek's shared memory system, which works across platforms, not just Mochii. This all happens automatically in the background, so it doesn't slow down or change the answer you just got.

The upshot: something Chibi picks up while helping you in Mochii can turn out to be useful later in other Chibitek tools that tap the same memory. Chibi's help doesn't have to stay locked in one conversation.

📖
In plain English

Think of it less like a privacy wrinkle and more like a good assistant taking notes. Chibi is still only working with your organization's own Mochii data, and the shared memory system respects the same permission boundaries as everything else — it just means the notes don't get thrown away the second the chat ends.

How Chibi looks

Chibi's floating bubble is round with no outline. Its bubble and panel colours are the ones your administrator saved in Stiki, and text colour is picked automatically so it stays readable. Chibi no longer flashes purple while the page loads. If you reload while Chibi is still answering, your question is kept. Everywhere in Mochii, including Settings, the onboarding tours, the welcome project and the Help hub, the assistant is called Chibi.

Turning Chibi on Administrator

This part is for Administrators. Chibi needs an AI engine behind him, and your organization picks which one. In Administrator settings, an Administrator chooses an AI provider and model — Mochii supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, Perplexity, Cohere, and OpenRouter — and adds the matching key. Once that's set, Chibi is live for everyone on the team.

📖
In plain English

"Provider and model" just means which AI brain Chibi uses. Different teams have different preferences (and contracts), so Mochii lets each organization plug in its own. You don't need to know the difference to use Chibi — that's an Administrator setup choice, made once.

The honest limits

So you trust Chibi (and so the answers stay useful), here's what he won't do:

  • He won't invent facts. No data, no answer — he'll tell you he doesn't see it.
  • He only sees your Mochii data, not your email, files outside Mochii, or the open web.
  • He won't change anything without asking — building a project or tasks always waits for your go-ahead.

Quick recap

  • Mochii's AI assistant is named Chibi — find him as "Chibi" in the app, or /ask in Slack.
  • Chibi is grounded in your real data — projects, tasks, Rocks, Issues, L10s — and won't guess beyond it.
  • Ask him about priorities, progress, overdue work, and summaries.
  • He can build projects, add tasks, summarize, and navigate — always with your confirmation first.
  • An Administrator turns Chibi on by choosing an AI provider/model and key.
  • After each chat, Chibi quietly saves a few key facts to Chibitek's shared memory system — so what he learns in Mochii can help you elsewhere too.
