Chats, projects and artifacts

The AI workspace has three kinds of thing in its sidebar, and they nest in that order.

Chats

A chat is one conversation. New chat starts one; the sidebar lists them newest first.

Type in the composer and press Enter to send, Shift+Enter for a new line. While a reply is streaming the send button becomes a stop button: stopping keeps the part that arrived rather than discarding it, which is usually what you wanted when you saw where the answer was going.

A new chat is called “New chat” until your first message, then takes its title from the first 48 characters of it. Rename it from the sidebar. Deleting a chat also deletes the artifacts that came out of it.

If you are signed in, the composer shows how many credits you have left, and at zero it disables itself and points at the Plans page rather than failing when you press send. Signed out, nothing is counted — see What a credit is.

Projects

A project groups chats and gives them shared instructions. Create one with a name and an instructions box, then start chats inside it.

The instructions are sent as a system message at the top of every conversation in that project, ahead of your own messages. That is the whole mechanism: it is a standing preamble, not a memory of what was said in the other chats. Two chats in one project do not see each other.

Use it for the things you would otherwise retype — the language to answer in, the stack you are working in, the house style of the thing you are writing.

Deleting a project does not delete the chats that were in it.

Artifacts

When a reply contains a fenced code block of four lines or more, it is lifted out and kept as an artifact. Shorter blocks stay in the conversation, because a one-line command is not a document and a list of them is noise.

The Artifacts page lists them with their language and when they arrived; opening one shows the whole thing. The language tag on the block decides how it is labelled — html and markdown are recognised by name, everything else is filed as code.

Artifacts belong to the chat that produced them and disappear with it.

Where all of this lives

In the browser you used, not on your account. This matters enough to have its own article: Where your AI data is stored.
