LTM Context Toggle
Control whether Conversational Search includes Long-Term Memory context in your conversations. When enabled, your chats automatically draw from up to 9 months of captured workflow context.
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.
Enabling or Disabling LTM Context
Click your `User Profile` in the top left of the Pieces Desktop App.
Hover over `LTM-2.7` in the dropdown menu that appears.
To keep LTM active, ensure it is not paused or turned off. To disable, select a pause duration (15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours) or choose `Turn Off`. When paused or off, Conversational Search will not include workflow history context.

You can also set whether LTM context is on by default for new chats in the LLM runtime settings gear.
Starting a Conversation from a Timeline Event
Start context-specific chats directly from any Timeline Event. When you start a conversation with a Timeline Event, it opens in Conversational Search with that event's full context pre-loaded and displayed as an information card.
Click any event in the Pieces Timeline to view its summary in the *main panel*.
Click `Start Related Chat` in the bottom right of the Timeline Event detail view to open Conversational Search with that event's context loaded.

You can also use the three-dots menu (â‹®) on any event and choose Chat to scope a conversation to that item. See Chat from a summary.
Attach Files and Folders
Add local files or folders so Conversational Search can use their contents alongside LTM memories.
Click the `+` button to the left of the chat input field.
Browse and select files or folders, or drag and drop them into the input area.
Attached items appear as context chips above the input field.
Type your question. The agent uses file contents together with your captured memories.
Viewing the Relevant Summaries Sidebar
After receiving a response, see exactly which Timeline Events were used to generate it.
Look for the `Relevant Summaries` button at the bottom of a chat response.
Click the button to open the sidebar on the right side. Each entry shows the Timeline Event title, description, timestamp, and related applications.
Click the sort dropdown in the top right of the sidebar—options include `Suggested`, `Recent`, and `Most Viewed`.
Click any Timeline Event to view full details about when it was captured and what context it contains.
