The Library
The second half of Intelligence — where conversations are kept, and what else is not kept yet.
4 min read
Intelligence has two sections: the chat, and the Library. The Library is the shelf — everything the assistant has produced or been handed, in one searchable place, so a useful answer from three weeks ago is something you can find rather than something you re-ask for.
Five tabs
- All — everything, grouped by kind, with a jump into each section.
- Chats — your conversations. Opening one takes you straight back into it.
- Images — chart snapshots and screenshots. This is the one shelf with a way in — a drop-and-browse tile at the head of the grid.
- Files — documents it was given or produced. Nothing in the product puts one here yet, so it stays empty.
- Pinned — individual answers you kept, each linking back to the conversation it came from. There is no control for pinning a single answer yet — the pin in a chat pins the whole conversation, which lifts it in Chats rather than adding a row here — so this stays empty too.
Every tab carries a live count and the search box filters all of them at once. The Modified control flips the order of Images and Files; Chats and Pinned keep the order they already have. Each row has a quiet action menu: Open and Remove both do what they say, and Download is drawn but does not produce a file yet.
Only the Chats tab is backed by the server today. An image you drop into the Library lives for as long as the page is open and is gone after a reload — so do not use it as storage yet.
What that means in practice
Your conversations are durable: they survive closing the tab, they come back on another device, and deleting one deletes it properly. The other three shelves are the designed surface running ahead of the storage behind it. They are not broken and nothing is being lost that was ever saved — there is simply nothing keeping them yet.
The storage meter at the foot of the page reads as unknown for the same reason. There is no accounting of used space to report, so it reports none rather than printing a figure and a ceiling that would both be invented.
Conversations
- Pinning lifts, it does not re-sort — pinned chats lead the list and unpinning drops a chat back exactly where it was. Threads you never touched are not shuffled around by a pin somewhere else.
- The order matches the sidebar — the Library and the chat rail read one list through one helper, so a chat that leads one cannot sit mid-list in the other.
- Every thread has an address — the page URL names the open conversation, so it can be reloaded, bookmarked and reached with the Back button.
- Deleting is real — a thread removed here is removed on the server, not just from this browser.
A new account’s Library is empty
Deliberately. It arrives with nothing on it because it is a record of what you have kept, and a shelf that turned up full would be describing someone else’s work. The first thing on it will be your first conversation.
Clearing a conversation is not deleting it
The /clear command in the composer empties the thread on screen so you can carry on with a clean view. It does not remove the conversation — the record is intact and the messages come back the next time it is opened. Use Delete on the thread itself if you want it gone.
The History rail holds the newest fifty conversations, plus every chat you have pinned no matter how old it is — which is precisely what a pin is for. Search filters the threads already loaded rather than querying the whole back catalogue, so pinning is the reliable way to keep an older conversation within reach.
