00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.529
Sometimes a conversation assumes background that has never been spoken

00:00:07.564 --> 00:00:13.021
aloud. Context is that supporting information. On the desktop app, open

00:00:13.079 --> 00:00:16.875
Files to inspect the documents attached to this session. Our fictional

00:00:16.934 --> 00:00:20.892
Willow Cafe launch brief is ready and marked In context. That indicator

00:00:20.927 --> 00:00:24.735
tells us it is included. Excluded means it remains attached but is not

00:00:24.793 --> 00:00:28.834
selected as background.  Give the next question a clear purpose. For

00:00:28.903 --> 00:00:33.013
example: compare the conversation with the launch brief, and identify

00:00:33.083 --> 00:00:37.146
decisions still needed. The brief supplies a reference; the question

00:00:37.204 --> 00:00:41.384
tells the app what to do with it. Review the answer against both sources.

00:00:41.756 --> 00:00:46.934
For background you use repeatedly, create a reusable context. In Settings,

00:00:47.062 --> 00:00:51.636
open Contexts and choose Add New Context. Give it a recognizable name.

00:00:52.066 --> 00:00:56.466
Enter the information or use the file upload control, then save it. Our

00:00:56.524 --> 00:01:00.982
example describes the audience, project goal, owners and constraints,

00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:05.359
and separates confirmed decisions from plans and recommendations.  Now

00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:09.724
return to Chat and open the book-shaped Contexts control. Search for

00:01:09.794 --> 00:01:14.728
Willow, select the project context, then choose Done. Check the selected

00:01:14.786 --> 00:01:18.978
count before asking. The pencil opens the context for editing, so you

00:01:19.024 --> 00:01:23.204
can review and update it as the project changes.  A saved context and

00:01:23.262 --> 00:01:27.255
an active selection are different things. Keep only relevant background

00:01:27.325 --> 00:01:31.226
selected for the conversation. A useful prompt tells the app what to

00:01:31.284 --> 00:01:34.883
do. Useful context gives it the information to work with.
