Conversations

The AI Assistant organizes your interactions into conversations: each conversation is an independent thread with its own context. The sidebar on the left of the chatbot interface shows your conversation history.

What is a conversation?​

A conversation is a full chat session with the assistant. The assistant remembers everything discussed within a conversation; previous questions and answers are part of the context for each new message.

Conversations are personal; other users cannot see your conversations.

Creating a New Conversation​

Click the + button at the top of the conversations sidebar to start a fresh conversation. The new conversation starts empty, with no prior context.

Use new conversations when:

  • You are switching to a completely different topic (e.g., from OEE analysis to schedule management)
  • You want a clean slate without the assistant being influenced by previous questions
  • You are running a complex analysis and want to keep it separate for reference

Switching between conversations​

Click any conversation in the sidebar to make it active. The chat area loads that conversation's full history, and you can continue from where you left off.

Renaming a Conversation​

Conversations are automatically titled based on your first message. To give a conversation a more descriptive name:

  1. Hover over the conversation in the sidebar
  2. Click the pencil icon (or right-click for a context menu)
  3. Type the new name
  4. Press Enter to confirm

Good names help you find specific analyses later: "Line 2 OEE July 2025" is better than "What was the OEE…".

Deleting a Conversation​

To remove a conversation you no longer need:

  1. Hover over the conversation in the sidebar
  2. Click the trash icon
  3. Confirm the deletion

Deleted conversations cannot be recovered.

Conversation persistence​

Conversations are saved on the OpSee server and persist across:

  • Browser refreshes
  • Sign-outs and sign-ins
  • Different devices (if you sign in from another computer, your conversations are there)

The number of conversations stored is not limited, but very old conversations are automatically archived after a configurable period set by your administrator.

Mobile sidebar​

On mobile, the conversation sidebar is hidden by default. Tap the menu icon in the chatbot toolbar to open it as a drawer, then tap a conversation to switch.
