Chats

A chat is an AI conversation saved as a real item in your workspace. The everyday chat in the side panel is temporary, but the moment a conversation is worth keeping, you can save it as a file that lives alongside your notes and plans, ready to search, link, and pick up later.

Talk to an agent, then save the whole conversation as a file you can find and link.

The dock chat versus a saved chat

  • The dock chat (the panel on the right) is where you talk to AI day to day. Its history is convenience, not a record, and it is meant to be disposable.
  • A saved chat is a real workspace item, a .uchat file. It keeps the whole conversation, shows which agent you were talking to, and behaves like any other item: searchable, linkable, and yours on disk.

Save a conversation

When a conversation is worth keeping, click Save as chat document (the disk icon at the top of the chat panel) and it becomes a saved chat in your workspace. By default it lands in your AI/Chats folder, but you can move it anywhere like any other file.

You do the saving

Agents never create or overwrite chats on their own. A chat only becomes a saved item when you choose to save it, so your workspace stays free of conversation clutter you did not ask for.

Pick up where you left off

Open a saved chat from the explorer and it loads the full transcript, ready to continue. Send another message and the agent carries on as if you never left. You can also reopen recent conversations from the chat history (the clock icon in the chat panel), which lists both your dock conversations and your saved chats.

Connect a chat to everything else

Because a saved chat is a first-class item, it joins the rest of your workspace:

  • Link to it from a note or plan with a [[wikilink]], the same as any item.
  • Find it later by keyword or by meaning: chats are indexed for search, so you can dig up the conversation where you worked something out.
  • Surface it on a dashboard or see it in the graph alongside the work it relates to.

Under the hood

A saved chat is a .uchat file: a small YAML header (its id, title, which agent it belongs to, and timestamps) followed by a JSON body holding the messages. Like everything else in Undra, it is a readable file on your disk, not a record locked inside the app.

Good to know

  • A chat is saved by you from the chat panel; there is no “New chat” item in the explorer’s New menu.
  • Saved chats are not embedded on canvases.
  • If you do not name a chat when you save it, it takes a default title like Chat with Mira.
