Best Practices

Save Work Regularly

Before using Chat History effectively, make sure to save your work:

• Tell the Genie to "save a record in the system"
• Confirm it's saved before moving on
• This creates accessible reference points

Use Descriptive Updates

When returning to update work, be specific:

Vague: "Change this"

Clear: "Update the emotional promise to emphasize transformation over stability"

Review Before Continuing

When opening a Chat History conversation:

1. Scroll through to refresh your memory
2. Review what was accomplished
3. Identify where you want to go next
4. Then continue with specific requests

Leverage Context

The Genie remembers everything from the conversation:

• Previous decisions
• Rejected options
• Reasoning behind choices
• Specific preferences

Use this: "Similar to what we did before but for enterprise audience"

Create Named Checkpoints

As you work, create clear save points:

• "Save this version as the Q4 brand story"
• "Save this as the original landing page version"
• "Save this campaign strategy as the product launch framework"

This makes Chat History easier to navigate.

Advanced Techniques

Branching From Previous Work

Create variations without losing the original:

1. Open Chat History for original work
2. "Create a variation of this for [different context]"
3. Save the new version separately

Comparing Versions

Use Chat History to A/B test approaches:

1. Create version A in one session
2. Use Chat History to create version B
3. Compare both versions
4. Refine the stronger approach

Learning From Past Successes

Reference successful previous work:

• "Use the approach we took in [previous conversation]"
• "Apply the structure that worked for [previous content]"
• "Match the tone we established in [previous session]"

Team Collaboration

When team members need to continue work:

1. Original creator saves work clearly
2. Team member accesses Chat History
3. Context preserved for seamless handoff
4. Maintains consistency across collaborators

Troubleshooting

Q: I can't find a previous conversation A: Make sure you're in the correct Genie. Each Genie has its own Chat History. Also check that you saved the work.

Q: How far back does Chat History go? A: All conversations are preserved. You can access work from any previous session.

Q: Can I delete conversations? A: Contact support if you need to remove specific conversations from your history.
