Generating Context

By creating memories, you build the foundation for detailed context that you can use in new AI conversations. Instead of relying on an AI's built-in memory (which you can't control), you decide exactly what information to share.

The Generate Context Button

You can generate context from anywhere in the app using the Generate Context button on the right side of the top header.

Creating Context

Click the button to open the context sidebar:

1. Select Memories - Choose which memory documents to include

   • Use Select All to include everything
   • Use Clear to deselect all memories

2. Title - Give your context a name (auto-generated if left empty)

3. Tags - Add tags to organize your contexts (auto-generated if left empty)

1. Generate - Choose your AI:
   • Cloud AI - Faster processing (Pro feature)
   • Local AI - Private, runs on your device

First-Time Setup: Loading a Local Model

Important: If you're using Local AI for the first time, you'll need to load a model in Settings before generating context. See the Settings tutorial for details.

The Contexts Page

After generating, your context is saved and accessible from the Contexts page.

Each context card shows:

• Created - How long ago it was generated
• Title - The context name
• Size - Token count
• Sources - Number of memories it's based on
• Preview - A snippet of the context
• Tags - Organizational tags

Context Actions

Each card has action buttons:

• Copy - Copy the context to your clipboard (ready to paste into any AI chat)
• Delete - Remove the context

Creating Contexts Manually

Already have context you've written yourself? Click Create to add it manually:

1. Use the block editor to write your content
2. Add a title and optional tags
3. Click Create to save

Click Cancel or click outside the sidebar to close without saving.

Using Your Context

When you start a new conversation with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI:

1. Click Copy on the context you want to use
2. Paste it at the beginning of your conversation
3. Add your question or request

The AI now has all the relevant background from your previous work, without you retyping anything.
