The Library
The second half of Intelligence, where conversations and everything you have attached are kept.
5 min read
Intelligence has two sections: the chat, and the Library. The Library is the shelf, everything the assistant has been handed and every conversation you have had, 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: every picture you have attached to a message, kept on the server and tied to your account. The screenshot the assistant read a trade out of is here, titled by the conversation you sent it in, which is usually how you would look for it.
- Files: the same store, on the other side of the split: the CSVs and PDFs you have attached. A file row leads with its own filename and carries the conversation underneath as a note, because the name is what tells two statements apart.
- 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 one stays empty.
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, and what it offers depends on the row: Remove really deletes the upload, on the server, for good. Open enlarges an image. Download is drawn and disabled, and so is Open on a file row, because neither has anything behind it yet and a menu item that reported a download nobody got would be worse than one that says it cannot.
Uploads are managed from the conversation, not from this page. The drop tile at the head of the Images grid is there for the design lab and is disabled on your account: attach the file to a message in the chat and it appears here on your next visit to the tab. Remove is the one write this page really does.
What that means in practice
Chats, Images and Files are all durable: they survive closing the tab, they come back on another device, and deleting one deletes it properly. Nothing else can see them, the list is read as you and scoped to what you own. An upload you attached but never actually sent is kept too, and says so on its row rather than borrowing the name of a conversation it was never part of.
Pinned is the one shelf that is still the designed surface running ahead of what fills it. It is not broken and nothing is being lost that was ever saved, there is simply no control yet that puts a single answer on it.
The storage meter at the foot of the page reads as unknown, and that is separate from the shelves above it. No accounting of used space is served, 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.
