The Advantage of a 'Context Vault'
Using Projects acts as a 'vault' or an isolated context storage. This ensures your business data doesn't get mixed up with personal planning or creative ideas, making the AI's output more accurate.
Time-Saving Tip
By setting reference information within a Project, you no longer need to re-explain the background every time you start a new chat. The AI will automatically refer to the uploaded files every time.
Recommended Uses for Projects
Organize your workspace by categories such as: YouTube channel, business planning, fitness goals, or home renovation ideas for better organization.
