Managing Conversations

Every time you chat with the AI Researcher, the dialogue is saved as a Conversation. This guide will help you understand how to manage these conversations to stay organised and make the most of your interactions.

Conversation Features

Multiple Chat Threads

You can have separate conversations for different subjects or topics. For example, keep one conversation for Biology and another for History. This keeps context separate so the AI's answers remain relevant to the topic at hand.

The sidebar will list your recent conversations, each with a title. This makes it easy to switch between different topics or subjects without losing your place.

Renaming Conversations

By default, conversations might be named after your first question or the topic. You can rename a conversation to something more meaningful by following these steps:

1. Locate the conversation in your sidebar 2. Click on the conversation title or the options menu (often a "⋮" icon) next to it 3. Select "Rename" or click directly on the title to edit it 4. Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Biology – Cell Structure Questions") 5. Save the new name

Using descriptive names helps you quickly identify conversations later when you need to reference them.

Saving & Resuming Conversations

All your chats are saved under their respective Search Space or project (more on Search Spaces in the Document Management guide). To resume a previous conversation:

1. Find the conversation in the sidebar list 2. Click on it to reopen it 3. Continue where you left off by typing a new message

This feature is particularly useful when you want to revisit the AI's explanations during revision or continue a discussion after taking a break.

Deleting Conversations

If a conversation is no longer needed, you can delete it to reduce clutter:

1. Find the conversation in the sidebar 2. Click on the options menu ("⋮") next to the conversation title 3. Select "Delete" or a similar option 4. Confirm the deletion when prompted

This is useful for removing quick fact-checking sessions or conversations that aren't relevant to your ongoing studies.

Selecting Conversations for Content Creation

One powerful aspect of RoxWhy is that you can turn your chats into study materials. In various content creation features, you will be able to select one or more conversations as the source.

When using features like Flashcards, Quizzes, Mind Maps, or Podcasts, you'll typically see an option to select which conversation(s) to use as the source material. This allows you to:

1. Transform casual Q&A sessions into structured study materials 2. Combine related conversations into comprehensive learning resources 3. Repurpose your research across different learning formats

For example, after having an in-depth conversation about a historical period, you could select that conversation when generating a quiz to test your knowledge or when creating a podcast for audio review.

Best Practices for Conversation Management

Organias by Subject

Create separate conversations for different subjects or topics to keep your research focused and organised.

Use Descriptive Names

Rename your conversations with clear, descriptive titles that indicate the subject matter and specific focus.

Regular Cleanup

Periodically review and delete conversations that are no longer relevant or useful to maintain a clean workspace.

Group Related Topics

For complex subjects, consider having a series of related conversations that build on each other, and name them accordingly (e.g., "Physics 101 - Part 1: Motion", "Physics 101 - Part 2: Forces").
