Context-Aware Responses

​

Available Context Sources

• 📝 Writings: Reference your full writings for context
• 💡 Ideas: Pull from your captured ideas and notes
• 🌐 Web Search: Search the internet for real-time information
• 📄 Current Document: Use the writing you’re currently editing

​

How Context Works

1. Your prompt is analyzed to understand intent
2. Relevant writings and ideas are retrieved using semantic search
3. The AI receives your content as context in the prompt
4. Responses are tailored to your specific knowledge base

​

Example Context-Aware Prompts

"Summarize my writing titled 'Product Roadmap Q1'"

"Create a LinkedIn post based on my latest article about productivity"

"What are the common themes across all my writings about AI?"

"Help me connect ideas from my notes on marketing and my article on storytelling"

​

Why Streaming Matters

• Faster perceived performance: See output immediately
• Early cancellation: Stop generation if the response goes off-track
• Better UX: More engaging than waiting for a complete response

​

Response Controls

• Stop generation: Click the stop button to halt mid-stream
• Regenerate: Retry the prompt with a different response
• Copy response: One-click copy to clipboard

Best Practices

​

Writing Effective Prompts

1. Be specific: “Create a 5-point outline” vs “Help me write”
2. Provide context: Reference specific writings or ideas
3. Specify format: “As a bullet list” or “In 3 paragraphs”
4. Iterate: Refine prompts based on initial responses

​

Choosing the Right Model

• Complex reasoning: Claude Opus, GPT-4o
• Speed: Gemini Flash, GPT-4o-mini
• Research: Perplexity Sonar
• Coding: DeepSeek, GPT-4o

​

Managing Token Usage

• Disable context sources you don’t need
• Use shorter prompts when possible
• Choose smaller models for simple tasks
• Monitor usage to avoid hitting limits

​

Context Selection

• Enable Writings for content-heavy tasks
• Enable Ideas for brainstorming
• Enable Web Search for factual queries
• Disable all for general conversation

​

Troubleshooting

​

AI Responses Are Generic

​

Hitting Rate Limits Too Quickly

• Use smaller models (mini, flash) for simple tasks
• Disable unnecessary context sources
• Upgrade to a higher plan

​

Slow Response Times

• Switch to faster models (Gemini Flash, GPT-4o-mini)
• Reduce context size by disabling sources
• Check your internet connection

​

Voice Input Not Working

• Grant microphone permissions in browser
• Check browser compatibility (Chrome/Edge recommended)
• Ensure microphone is not in use by another app

​

Privacy & Security

​

Data Handling

• Your prompts and responses are stored encrypted in the database
• Context retrieval happens server-side with secure queries
• AI providers receive your prompts but not your full writings (only relevant snippets)

​

Deleting Data

• Delete conversations to remove chat history
• Disable memory to clear AI memory
• Request data deletion via support for full removal
