Temporary Chat

Temporary Chat is a conversation that isn't saved. It won't appear in your chat history, and nothing from it is added to your memory. You choose whether it can use your memory, connectors, and Personalization.

1. 1

   Start a new chat

   Select New chat in the sidebar. Temporary Chat isn't available inside a project.
2. 2

   Turn on Temporary Chat

   Select the Temporary Chat icon at the top of the chat. It changes to "Temporary Chat is ON".
3. 3

   Send your first message

   The screen shows "This conversation won't be saved." Chat as you normally would.

Turn it on before you send your first message. After that, the chat stays temporary until you leave it.

Under "This conversation won't be saved," choose Personalized or Unpersonalized at the same time.

• Personalized (the default): Viro can use what it remembers about you, your connected apps, and your Personalization settings, such as your name and custom instructions, just as it does in a regular chat.
• Unpersonalized: Viro ignores your memory, your connected apps, and your Personalization settings. It answers as it would for someone it knows nothing about.

Either way, the chat isn't saved and nothing from it is added to memory. If memory is off in Customize > Memory, a Personalized Temporary Chat doesn't use memory either.

• Memory: Nothing you say is added to memory, and memory commands like "Remember that…" don't work. A Personalized Temporary Chat can still use what Viro already remembers about you.
• Chat actions: Branch in new chat and Delete turn aren't available.

Open any saved chat from the sidebar. The temporary conversation ends and can't be reopened, so copy anything you want to keep first.

• Quick, one-off questions
• Topics you'd rather not keep in your history
• Asking something without it shaping Viro's memory of you
• A fresh answer that ignores everything Viro knows about you (choose Unpersonalized)
