Keeping the thread from day to day

  1. 01The project, a container for context10 min

    A project brings together, in one permanent place, reference files, an instruction written once, and the sessions opened inside it. A conversation opened outside any project keeps none of these three elements beyond its own window: closing it amounts to emptying it. A task that returns with the same files belongs in a project.

  2. 02Turning on memory, distinct from history10 min

    Memory is not history: history keeps every conversation as it unfolded, while memory keeps only a selection and reuses it in a following session. It is on by default on personal accounts and off by default on organisation accounts, where you should first check that it has been switched on.

  3. 03Resuming a session without losing everything5 min

    Open a fresh session inside the same project and explicitly ask it to pick up the thread. The project's files and instruction stay in place, but the detail of the previous conversation does not follow: whatever is written nowhere in the project will not come back unless you hand it back.
