🛸 Temporary Chat vs. Normal Chat: When to Use Which

Not every conversation with AI should be saved forever. Sometimes you want privacy — whether it’s for personal notes, late-night thoughts, or even a draft agreement with a customer (or a lawsuit 😉). That’s where Temporary Chat comes in.

But sometimes you do want to save or share your work — with colleagues, clients, or even your BFF. That’s when you use Normal Chat.

🔒 Temporary Chat = private + short-lived

• No history is saved → Once you close it, it’s gone.

• No memory → AI won’t “remember” who you are next time.

• Private by design → Great for sensitive work or moments when you don’t want a trail.

💡 Think of it as a whiteboard that’s wiped clean the moment you walk out of the room.

Best for:

• Sensitive ideas or emotional thoughts

• Drafts, proposals, or agreements you don’t want stored

• Fresh brainstorming without old context creeping in

💾 Normal Chat = saved + shareable

• History is saved → You can come back anytime and pick up where you left off.

• Sharable link → You can send the full conversation to your team, client, or peer.

• Built for collaboration → Everyone can see the same context and continue working together.

💡 Think of it as a Google Doc you can keep, revisit, and share with others.

Best for:

• Ongoing projects

• Research you want to share with your team

• Work you want to pass on so others can edit or build on it

🚀 How to choose

• Use Temporary Chat when privacy matters more than memory.

• Use Normal Chat when collaboration and sharing are important.

In short:
👉 Temporary Chat is for you, in the moment.
👉 Normal Chat is for you + others, long-term.

Safe. Simple. And you get to choose what lives on — and what vanishes Matrix-style, like it never happened.
