Start a temporary chat

Purpose

Neda wants to try a rough idea for a customer without it showing up in her chat list or shaping what Agentum remembers about her. Start a temporary chat: it stays out of your history and is deleted for you after 30 days.

Before you start

Temporary chat is available on a new chat in Chat mode. It is not offered in Work mode, in a project, or with a custom agent.

Steps

1. Open a new chat. At the top right, select the dashed chat bubble with a check mark, "Turn on temporary chat". The page title changes to "Temporary chat".
2. Choose how personal the chat is. A pill next to the button shows the current choice. Select it and pick one:
   • "Personalized": "This chat can reference memory, plugins, and custom instructions".
   • "Unpersonalized": "This chat will ignore memory, plugins, and custom instructions".
3. Write your first message as usual. Once you send it, the choice is locked and a "Temporary" badge appears at the top of the chat. Point at the badge to see the date the chat will be deleted.
4. To go back to a normal chat before you send anything, select "Turn off temporary chat". Starting a new chat from the sidebar also opens a normal chat.

Expected result

The chat does not appear in "Recents", "Chats" or search, and Agentum does not save anything from it to memory. After 30 days it is deleted. A temporary chat cannot be shared or moved to a project; you can still rename it or delete it yourself at any time.
