Keep Separate Topics in Separate Side Chats
You can start a separate side chat for each topic you give your muse, so a trip plan, a bill problem, and a work project each stay in their own thread, while the muse stays aware across all of them.
What it does
A single long chat gets hard to follow. Instructions for one job sit buried under questions about another, and finding an old answer means scrolling through everything. A side chat gives one topic its own space. You start it from the Chat tab, name the job in your first message, and keep every follow-up for that job in that thread. The muse stays aware across your main chat and your side chats, so a fact you shared in one place, such as your home airport or your usual budget, still applies in another. Files the muse creates are saved in the Library tab no matter which chat made them, and reminders and scheduled tasks sit under Upcoming, so splitting topics does not split your records. It is a simple habit that makes a busy agent much easier to live with.
How to use it
- Open the Chat tab and tap the menu icon in the top left.
- Tap the pencil and note icon to start a new side chat.
- Make your first message the topic itself, for example: this chat is only for planning the spring trip.
- Keep every message about that topic in that chat, and start a fresh side chat when a new topic begins.
- Use the main chat for quick one-off questions that do not belong to any project.
- When a topic is finished, leave the chat as your record of what was decided and what the muse did.
What you need
- A muse account, in the app or at muse.ai
- One topic per side chat, stated plainly in the first message
What to watch for
- Awareness across chats cuts both ways. A preference you set in a work chat can shape answers in a personal chat, so say when a rule applies to one topic only.
- It is normal if an agent that remembers across chats sounds strange at first. You can review what your muse remembers in Settings, and you can edit or remove memories at any time.
- Too many side chats create the same mess in a new place. Start one for a real topic, not for every small question.
- The muse prepares and drafts, you decide. Keeping topics apart makes those decisions easier to check, it does not hand them over.
