LTM Context Toggle

Control whether Conversational Search includes Long-Term Memory context in your conversations. When enabled, your chats automatically draw from up to 9 months of captured workflow context.

LTM must be enabled to access the chat feature in Pieces Desktop. If LTM is off, chat does not work. LTM is enabled by default in conversations.

Enabling or Disabling LTM Context

Click your `User Profile` in the top left of the Pieces Desktop App. Hover over `LTM-2.7` in the dropdown menu that appears. To keep LTM active, ensure it is not paused or turned off. To disable, select a pause duration (15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours) or choose `Turn Off`. When paused or off, Conversational Search will not include workflow history context.

You can also set whether LTM context is on by default for new chats in the LLM runtime settings gear.

Starting a Conversation from a Timeline Event

Start context-specific chats directly from any Timeline Event. When you start a conversation with a Timeline Event, it opens in Conversational Search with that event's full context pre-loaded and displayed as an information card.

Click any event in the Pieces Timeline to view its summary in the *main panel*. Click `Start Related Chat` in the bottom right of the Timeline Event detail view to open Conversational Search with that event's context loaded.

Viewing the Relevant Summaries Sidebar

After receiving a response, see exactly which Timeline Events were used to generate it.

Look for the `Relevant Summaries` button at the bottom of a chat response. Click the button to open the sidebar on the right side. Each entry shows the Timeline Event title, description, timestamp, and related applications. Click the sort dropdown in the top right of the sidebar—options include `Suggested`, `Recent`, and `Most Viewed`. Click any Timeline Event to view full details about when it was captured and what context it contains. Relevant Summaries button showing source Timeline Events
