Conversational Search is the ability to talk with your memories. You can have conversations with your captured workflow context—ask specific questions, search through your memories, and filter by apps or time ranges to customize which memories you're talking with. All responses are powered by Long-Term Memory (LTM-2.7).

Talking with Your Memories

Have conversations with your captured workflow context. Ask specific questions about your past work, decisions, or activities.

Suggested Prompts

Suggested prompts appear as clickable buttons based on your recent workflow. Click any prompt to instantly start that conversation. Responses include Related Timeline Events cards showing which memories were used as sources.

Asking Your Own Questions

Type your own questions to have conversations with your memories about specific topics or moments.

Click `Start New Chat` to begin a fresh conversation. Type your question in the input field and press Enter to send. You'll get a response powered by LTM-2.7 with context from your captured memories.

Example questions:

  • "Why did we choose PostgreSQL over MySQL for the authentication project?"
  • "What was the blocker I encountered last Tuesday afternoon?"
  • "Find that React performance article I read last month"
  • "What did Sarah and I discuss about the API redesign in Teams?"
  • "Show me the code changes I made related to WebSocket connections"

Starting Fresh Chats

Use Start New Chat when you want to discuss a completely different topic. Starting a new chat ensures better results when switching topics since Conversational Search uses relevant memory context across the entire conversation.

Filtering Your Searches

Filter by specific apps or time ranges to narrow your search scope and get more focused answers.

Sources Filter

Limit searches to memories from specific applications. Use this when you want answers based only on specific apps.

Click the `Sources` button in the *bottom toolbar* to open the filter modal. Check the apps you want to include. You can select multiple apps at once. Selected sources apply to your current chat and all future messages until you change them.

Time Ranges Filter

Focus searches on specific time periods. Use this when you need information from a specific period.

Click the `Time Ranges` button in the *bottom toolbar* to open the filter modal. Choose from 31+ preset options (e.g., "Yesterday", "This week", "Last month") or use the calendar view for custom date ranges. You can select multiple ranges at once. Selected time ranges apply to your current chat and all future messages until you change them.

Combining Filters

Use Sources and Time Ranges together for precise queries—for example, "Chrome browsing from yesterday afternoon."

Working with Responses

All response actions are available in the toolbar below each response:

  • Copy: Click the clipboard icon to copy the entire response to your clipboard
  • Export: Click the export icon to download responses as PDF (for sharing/printing), Markdown (for editing), or Plain Text
  • Regenerate: Click the regenerate icon (circular arrow) to re-run the response with the same model or switch to a different one for comparison
  • Convert to Timeline Event: Click the paper/document icon to save important responses—they'll appear in the memories sidebar for later reference
  • Use as Context: Click the three-dot menu () and select "Use as Context" to add the response as context for follow-up questions

Model Selection

Switch between cloud and local models based on your needs. Use cloud models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) for faster responses and advanced reasoning. Use local models (o3, o1) for complete privacy and offline capability.

Click the `model button` in the *bottom toolbar* to open the model selector. You'll see Recent models you've used, Suggested models for your current task, or click `All Models` to see everything available. When you switch models, your chat history stays intact, and new messages will use the selected model.

Asking Effective Questions

The more specific your questions, the better Conversational Search can find relevant memories and provide accurate answers.

Use Specific Keywords

Include unique keywords related to what you're looking for—project names, ticket numbers, package names, or specific topics.

Good: "What is the status of project Aurora?"

Bad: "What is the status of my project?"

If you can't remember specific keywords, try asking: "Give me the titles of all the project documents I've been working on last month" to find keywords for more specific prompts.

Include Time Ranges

Specify when something happened to narrow down results. Conversational Search stores up to 9 months of memories.

Examples:

  • "What decision did we make about the database schema last week?"
  • "What were the plans I received in December?"
  • "What was I debugging yesterday afternoon?"

Mention Source Applications

Reference specific apps to separate similar content across different sources.

Example: "What did Sarah and I discuss in Teams about the deployment?"

This separates Teams conversations from emails or document comments.

Combine Techniques

Mix keywords, time ranges, and applications for the most accurate results.

Example: "What is the URL for the Project Aurora document I discussed in Teams with Sarah last Thursday?"

This combines the keyword "Project Aurora," the application "Teams," the person "Sarah," and the time "last Thursday" to narrow down results precisely.

Use Filters Instead of Prompts

If you know the exact source app or time range, use the Sources and Time Ranges filters instead of describing them in your prompt. Filters are more accurate than natural language time expressions.

Managing Your Chat History

All conversations automatically save to the memories sidebar, listed chronologically with other workflow activities. Click any saved chat to reopen it with full history and preserved filter settings.

Your chat history is part of your LTM memories. Conversational Search can reference previous conversations when answering new questions.
