Context & Project Integration

Control whether Conversational Search includes Long-Term Memory context in your conversations. When enabled, Conversational Search has access to 9 months of captured workflow context from your Long-Term Memory (LTM-2.7) Engine, including code you've written, conversations you've had, and decisions you've made.

LTM must be enabled to access the chat feature in Pieces Desktop. If LTM is off, chat does not work. LTM is enabled by default in conversations.

LTM Context Toggle

Enable or disable Long-Term Memory context for Conversational Search. When enabled, your chats automatically include workflow history context. When disabled, conversations use only the current context without historical data.

Enabling LTM Context

Turn on Long-Term Memory context to include workflow history in your chats:

Click your `User Profile` in the top left of the Pieces Desktop App. Hover over `LTM-2.7` in the dropdown menu that appears. A menu will appear with options to pause LTM-2.7 or turn it off. To enable LTM context for Conversational Search, ensure LTM-2.7 is not paused or turned off.

Disabling LTM Context

Turn off Long-Term Memory context when you want conversations without historical workflow data:

Click your `User Profile` in the top left of the Pieces Desktop App. Hover over `LTM-2.7` in the dropdown menu. Select a pause duration (15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours) or choose `Turn Off` to disable LTM-2.7. When LTM-2.7 is paused or turned off, Conversational Search will not include workflow history context in conversations.

Understanding LTM Context

When LTM-2.7 is enabled, Conversational Search automatically includes relevant workflow context from your Long-Term Memory. This means your conversations can reference:

  • Code you've written and changes you've made
  • Conversations and decisions from your workflow history
  • Activities captured by LTM-2.7 from connected applications
  • Timeline Events and summaries from your workflow

When LTM-2.7 is paused or turned off, Conversational Search operates without access to this historical context, providing responses based only on the current conversation.

Related Timeline Events

View which Timeline Events were used to generate responses by opening the Relevant Summaries sidebar.

Conversational Search draws from your LTM memories to provide accurate responses. The Relevant Summaries sidebar shows you exactly which Timeline Events were used to generate each response, helping you verify the source of information and discover related work.

Viewing Related Timeline Events

Open the Relevant Summaries sidebar to see which Timeline Events were used in a response:

After receiving a response in Conversational Search, look for the `Relevant Summaries` button at the bottom of the chat response. Click the `Relevant Summaries` button to open the sidebar on the right side of the interface. The sidebar displays a list of relevant Timeline Events that were used to generate the response. Each entry shows the Timeline Event title, description, timestamp, and related applications. Click the sort dropdown in the top right of the sidebar to change how summaries are organized. Options include `Suggested`, `Recent`, and `Most Viewed`. Click any Timeline Event in the sidebar to view full details about that event, including when it was captured and what specific context it contains. Click the `X` icon in the top left of the sidebar to close it and return to the main chat view.
