Conversations and History
Every exchange you have with the platform is saved as a conversation. They're searchable, reorderable, and persist forever (until you delete them).
Conversation lifecycle
- You start a new conversation by clicking + New chat or just typing into the chat input on a fresh dashboard
- Each message is added in real time — both your prompts and the model's replies
- The title is auto-generated from the first prompt (after the first reply completes)
- The conversation persists in your History overlay until you delete it
There's no "save" button. Saving is automatic.
Where to find old conversations
- History overlay — open History in the top bar; it slides over with your conversations, and your projects sit above them
- Search bar — type any keyword from any conversation; matches highlight inline
Conversation context window
Each conversation has its own context window. The model sees the full history of THAT conversation when generating replies, up to the model's context limit (varies by model — see Picking a Model).
If you start a NEW conversation, the model has no memory of any prior conversation — except for what the memory layer recalls automatically (see Memory when written).
Renaming, pinning, deleting
Right-click (or long-press on mobile) any conversation in the History overlay:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rename | Edit the title; doesn't affect the messages |
| Pin to top | Keeps this conversation at the top of your list |
| Archive | Hides it from the main list (still searchable) |
| Delete | Permanent — gone for good (also removes from memory recall sources) |
Deletion is permanent. Once deleted, the conversation is purged from the database within 24 hours. There's no recovery.
Branching
Sometimes you want to try a different prompt at a specific point in the conversation. Click the edit pencil on any message (yours or the model's) and change it — the conversation forks at that point. The original is preserved in your history with a "(branched)" badge.
Branching does NOT charge you again for the messages above the branch point. The new branch picks up from there with whatever you typed.
Searching
The History panel has a search bar. Type any phrase and it returns conversations where that phrase appears (in your messages or the model's). Matches are highlighted.
Search is fuzzy substring — no fancy semantic search yet. That's coming in a future phase. For now, exact-ish keywords work best.
Sharing a conversation
Currently: not supported. Conversations are private to your account. If you want to share a transcript with someone, copy/paste the text manually.
A "share read-only link" feature is on the roadmap but not yet shipped.
Backup / export
Settings → Account → Export all data generates a JSON file with all your conversations, projects, artifacts, and memories. Useful for:
- Personal backups
- Migrating to another tool (just the data, not the platform)
- Compliance / record-keeping
Export takes 10–60 seconds depending on how many conversations you have. The download link emails to your account.
Where to next
- Streaming — how replies appear live
- Slash Commands — shortcuts in the chat input
- Memory articles (Phase 4) — automatic recall across conversations
- Projects articles (Phase 2b) — group conversations under a shared system prompt
