Conversations

Every chat you start in Annota Brain is saved as a conversation. Conversations are private to you: other members of your organization cannot see them, even when they use the same knowledge bases.

Find a conversation

Your conversations are listed in the Brain sidebar, grouped by Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, and Older. Brain names each conversation after its first question, in the language of that question. A spinner next to a conversation means Brain is still answering.

Select a conversation to open it and ask a follow-up question in Ask a follow-up question…. It continues with the knowledge bases of its last question.

Under each question and answer you can:

Select Copy to copy the question or the answer.
Hover over the time to see the exact date and time.

Rename a conversation

In the sidebar, hover over the conversation and open its actions menu (the ⋯ button).
Select Rename.
Enter a new Title (up to 120 characters) and select Save changes.

Delete a conversation

Open the conversation’s actions menu in the sidebar.
Select Delete.
In Delete this chat?, select Delete.

The conversation and its messages are deleted. This cannot be undone. Download it first if you want to keep a copy.

Export conversations

You can download one conversation as Markdown, or all your conversations as JSON.

One conversation as Markdown

Open the conversation’s actions menu in the sidebar and select Download as Markdown. The file contains:

The title and a note that the Brain answers were generated by AI.
Each question and answer with its date and time.
The [1], [2] markers of each answer, with a numbered list of Sources (document name and page) below it.

All conversations as JSON

Open your account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and select Account.
Select Data.
Under Brain conversations, select Export next to Export conversations.

You get a JSON file with all your conversations in the current organization, with their messages, dates, and cited sources. Each answer is marked as generated by AI. To export conversations from another organization, switch to it first.

Credits used

Brain answers are billed in credits by the tokens they use. The conversation title is billed together with the first answer.

Situation	Credits
Completed answer	Charged by tokens used.
Answer Brain could not give reliably	Free.
Failed answer	Free.
Answer you stopped with Stop response	Charged for the tokens already used.
Conversation deleted while Brain was answering	Charged for the tokens already used.

Answers first use your weekly Brain usage allowance, then the organization credits. Weekly usage at the bottom of the Brain sidebar shows how much of the allowance you have used and when it resets. Indexing documents and searching a knowledge base use credits separately. See Credit usage.
