# AI Teammate Templates

> Export and import full AI teammate configurations as portable .boostgpt files

## What are AI teammate templates?

AI teammate templates let you capture a complete AI teammate configuration — instructions, capabilities, branding, and tool connections — as a portable `.boostgpt` file. Share it with others, reuse it across projects, or keep it as a backup.

> Save your AI teammate's full config as a `.boostgpt` file

> [card] Import

> Create a new AI teammate or update an existing one from a template file

## What's Included in a Template

A `.boostgpt` file is plain JSON. When you export an AI teammate, the template captures:

| Category | What's included |
| - | - |
| **Core** | Name, model, instruction, reasoning type, chat mode |
| **Features** | Memory, tasks, workspace, sandbox, notifications |
| **Config** | Max reply tokens, max steps, rate limits, no-answer reply |
| **Branding** | Theme, colors, logo, greeting messages, conversation starters, widget config, prompt templates, navigation, pricing plans |
| **Tools** | Tool names, connector slugs — credentials are **never** exported |
| **Artifacts** | Which artifact types are enabled (code, images, tables, etc.) |
| **Uploads** | File upload settings and accepted types |

> [!WARNING]
>
> API keys, OAuth tokens, and other credentials are **never** included in exported templates. After importing, reconnect each tool manually in the **Tools** tab.

## Exporting a Template

1. Open your AI teammate in the dashboard
2. Go to **Settings → AI teammate template**
3. Click **Export template**
4. A `.boostgpt` file downloads to your computer

You can optionally add a description before exporting — it appears when the file is imported.

## Importing a Template

### New AI teammate

1. Go to **New AI teammate**
2. Click **Import from template**
3. Select your `.boostgpt` file
4. Review your AI teammate name and settings, then create

### Existing AI teammate

Apply a template to update an existing AI teammate's configuration:

1. Open your AI teammate → **Settings → AI teammate template**
2. Click **Import template**
3. Select your `.boostgpt` file

> [!NOTE]
>
> Importing to an existing AI teammate overwrites their configuration fields but does **not** rename your AI teammate or delete existing tools that aren't in the template.

## Tools and Connectors

When a template includes predefined connectors (e.g. HubSpot, Slack, Twitter), BoostGPT automatically provisions the MCP server infrastructure during import — the tool appears in your **Tools** tab with its full function list ready to use.

You still need to connect your credentials:

1. Go to the **Tools** tab after importing
2. Click the tool that needs credentials
3. Enter your API key or complete the OAuth flow

## File Format

`.boostgpt` files are JSON with a fixed header:

```json theme={null}
{
  "version": "1",
  "type": "agent",
  "name": "My Agent",
  "description": "Optional description",
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "instruction": "You are...",
  ...
}
```

The file extension is `.boostgpt` but the content is standard JSON — you can open and edit it in any text editor.

## Use Cases

* **Share AI teammate setups** with your team or the community
* **Reuse a proven configuration** across multiple projects
* **Version-control your AI teammate** — commit the `.boostgpt` file to git alongside your code
* **Migrate between accounts** — export from one workspace, import to another
