Account Settings
Manage your profile, notifications, Archer preferences, and account deletion.
Account Settings is where you manage your profile fields, your notification preferences, Archer's behavior, and your account itself.
Profile
Your profile holds the basic fields the engine uses to personalize every stage: your name, email, target round, timeline context, and post-MBA goal statement. These are the same fields you answered during onboarding, and you can edit any of them at any time.
Changing a profile field does not wipe your existing application state. It simply updates the field, and the engine will use the new value the next time it reads from your profile.
Notifications
You can choose how the engine reaches out to you when something meaningful happens: a deadline is approaching, a recommender has submitted, a Dean Brief has finished regenerating, or an at-risk flag has appeared on an application. Email is the default channel. You can silence any category you do not want.
Notifications are about your work, not about marketing. Product announcements are opt-in and live in a separate channel.
Archer preferences
Archer has a few knobs you can turn. You can set a default tone for its drafts (concise, conversational, analytical), you can choose how aggressive its next-action suggestions are on the dashboard, and you can restrict which write tools require your approval versus which run immediately. By default, every write except recording a new fact and completing a deadline is proposal-first. See Mind Sessions with Archer.
Security
You can change your password at any time. If you signed up with Google, your password is managed by Google and cannot be changed here. Email verification and password reset flows are handled by AWS Cognito.
Export and delete
You can export the full state of your account as a single archive, or delete your account entirely. Deletion is permanent and removes every file you uploaded, every interview answer, every essay draft, every fact, every evidence span, and every Mind session. See Data and Privacy for the full retention policy.
How it fits in the engine
Account Settings is metadata about you. It does not contain any stage of the loop, but it influences every stage. Your timeline context decides how aggressive the engine is; your Archer preferences decide how Mind sessions behave; your notification preferences decide when the engine reaches out.
