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.

00:00:41.667 --> 00:00:45.649
Give the assistant the background that makes an answer useful. On the

00:00:45.696 --> 00:00:51.013
desktop app, open Contexts from Chat, then choose Add New Context.  Start

00:00:51.048 --> 00:00:55.111
with a name you will recognise later. Our fictional example is Willow

00:00:55.181 --> 00:01:00.069
Cafe launch planning. Conversation type is optional. Choose Team meeting

00:01:00.104 --> 00:01:04.330
for this example, then choose Facilitator as your role. The app explains

00:01:04.365 --> 00:01:08.718
the focus: help keeping the meeting on track and closing decisions.

00:01:08.718 --> 00:01:13.188
Next, look at Documents that help here. Agenda, open decisions, and recent

00:01:13.235 --> 00:01:16.985
updates are suggestions for useful background. They are not three separate

00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:21.582
forms you must complete.  Use Content to describe the situation, or use

00:01:21.652 --> 00:01:26.075
Upload a file to supply a document. Include the goal, the people involved,

00:01:26.192 --> 00:01:30.058
the decisions already made, and what is still open. In our example, the

00:01:30.139 --> 00:01:33.889
opening date is a target, responsibilities are named, and the second

00:01:33.947 --> 00:01:38.300
grinder is still an open decision. Keeping these distinctions clear helps

00:01:38.335 --> 00:01:42.317
you ask more useful questions.  Save your context, then check the result.

00:01:42.805 --> 00:01:47.623
In this desktop flow, creating a context from Chat also selects it. The

00:01:47.681 --> 00:01:51.791
selected count and the Team meeting, Facilitator banner show which background

00:01:51.826 --> 00:01:56.168
is active. Check these before you ask your next question; a saved context

00:01:56.203 --> 00:01:59.884
and an active context are not the same thing.  Your question tells the

00:01:59.942 --> 00:02:03.971
assistant what you need now. Your selected context supplies the background.

00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.210
Review the response against your source before using it.
