Finding and reopening a past conversation Guide

Every conversation you have with your AI Assistant is kept, so you can return to earlier work at any time. This guide shows you how to find an older chat, reopen it to continue where you left off, and track down a file you shared in a previous conversation.

Find an earlier conversation

Your conversations are listed alongside the chat, with your most recent activity at the top. Because each conversation is kept separately, you can keep several threads going and switch between them without losing your place.

1. Open the AI Assistant.
2. Look at the list of your conversations. They are ordered by recent activity, so a chat you used today sits near the top.
3. Scroll to browse older conversations, then select one to open it.

If you gave a conversation a clear first message, its summary in the list makes it easy to recognize at a glance. Skimming the opening line of each thread is often the fastest way to spot the one you want.

Reopen a conversation and continue

Selecting a past conversation opens the full thread exactly as you left it, including the assistant's replies and anything it created for you. You can pick up the discussion right away.

1. Select the conversation from your list to open it.
2. Scroll up to review the earlier messages for context.
3. Type your next message in the composer and send it. The assistant continues with the full history of that thread in view, so you don't need to re-explain what you were working on.

Tip: The assistant keeps the context of each conversation within that thread. If you want it to build on earlier work, continue in the same conversation rather than starting a new one.

Continue a conversation from another device

Your conversations stay in sync between the web app and any phone channels you've connected, such as SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, or voice. This means you can start a request on your computer and follow up from your phone, or the other way around.

• Begin a conversation in the web app, then continue it from a connected phone channel later in the day.
• Messages you send from your phone appear in the same thread when you return to the web app.
• An open chat updates as new messages arrive, so a reply you send from another device shows up without needing to reload.

Find a file from a previous conversation

Any document, spreadsheet, PDF, or image you shared in a conversation stays with that conversation. Each chat has its own Files panel that lists everything shared in that thread.

1. Open the conversation where you shared or received the file.
2. Open the panel that shows the files in that chat.
3. Preview a file to confirm it's the right one, or download it to use elsewhere.

Deliverables the assistant produced for you — such as a PDF, spreadsheet, generated image, or chart — remain in the conversation where they were created. Reopen that thread to preview or download them again.

If you're not sure which conversation holds the file

Think back to the request that produced or used the file and look for that conversation in your list. Once you've opened the likely thread, the Files panel confirms whether the file lives there.

Keep future conversations easy to find

A few small habits make older work simpler to locate later.

• Start with a clear first message. A specific opening line makes a conversation easy to recognize in your list.
• Keep related work together. Continuing in the same thread keeps a project's history and its files in one place.
• Start a new conversation for a new topic. Separate threads for separate projects keep each one focused and quicker to find.

With your conversations kept and synced across your devices, returning to earlier work — and the files that came with it — is always a few steps away.
