Chat Persistence & History

WebDesktopMobile

Never lose a conversation. Every message is saved server-side in real time and accessible from any device — start an analysis on your laptop, review it on your phone.

Note

Chat history is stored on Treasure AI's servers, not in your browser or on your device. There is nothing to configure — persistence is automatic from your first message.

Objective

Find, organize, and manage past conversations so that valuable analyses, segment definitions, and query results remain accessible to your team.

Prerequisites


How Chats Are Saved

Every message you send and every response the AI generates is persisted on the server in real time.

  • No local storage dependency. Your conversations are stored server-side, not in the browser or on your device.
  • Cross-device access. Sign in on any platform (Web, Desktop, or Mobile) and your full chat history is available.
  • Session-based. Each chat has its own message history and context window. A standalone chat runs in its own workspace; chats created inside a work folder share that work folder's workspace.

Chat List

Your conversations appear in the sidebar under Chats, sorted with the most recent at the top.

Web & Desktop

The sidebar displays your chats with:

  • Chat title — Auto-generated or manually renamed (see Auto-Titled Conversations)
  • Time indicator — A short relative timestamp showing how recently the chat was active (e.g., "2m", "1h", "3d")
  • The currently active chat is highlighted

Mobile (iOS)

The home screen shows your chats in the Chats section, below Projects. Tap any chat to open it.

Searching Chats

Web & Desktop

Search lives behind a search (🔍) toggle in the sidebar header. Click it to reveal the search box (labeled "Search chats..."), which is focused automatically. As you type, both your chats and work folders filter in real time to show only matching entries; if nothing matches, the list is empty. Press Escape or click the toggle again to close the search — closing clears the filter, and the search also closes when you navigate to a chat or work folder.

Mobile (iOS)

Scroll to the top of the chat list to reveal the search field.

Renaming a Chat

By default, Studio automatically generates a title for each conversation based on the first exchange (see Auto-Titled Conversations). You can rename any chat manually.

Web & Desktop

Click the more menu (⋯) on a chat and select "Rename". The title becomes an editable field inline in the sidebar. After editing:

  • Press Enter or submit to save
  • Press Escape to cancel

Mobile (iOS)

Swipe left on a chat in the list to reveal action buttons, then tap Rename.

Deleting a Chat

Web & Desktop

  1. Click the more menu (⋯) on the chat you want to delete
  2. Select "Delete"
  3. A confirmation dialog names the chat and warns that this permanently deletes the chat and its messages
  4. Click Delete to confirm, or Cancel to keep the chat
Warning

Deleting a standalone chat permanently removes it, all its messages, and all associated files from the server. This action cannot be undone. Files in work folder chats are retained when the chat is deleted. See File Retention & Deletion for details.

Mobile (iOS)

Swipe left on a chat in the list to reveal action buttons, then tap Delete.

Chat Retention Period

Organization administrators can configure how long chat history is retained before automatic deletion. Chats older than the configured period are automatically and permanently deleted.

For details on how to configure the retention period, see Chat Data Retention.

Sessions vs. Saved Chats

A chat's working session — the sandbox that runs the AI — is released after a period of inactivity to free resources. This does not delete the conversation. The chat stays in your history: open it any time to read the full message history, and send a message (or click Resume) to restart the session and continue. See When a Session Ends.

A chat only leaves your history when you delete it, or when it passes the organization's retention period.

Differences from Treasure Studio Labs

Verification

  • Start a conversation on one device and see it listed on another device
  • Search for a past conversation by title and open it
  • Rename a chat and see the updated title across all devices

Troubleshooting

IssueSolution
Chat missing from historyCheck whether it was created inside a work folder — work folder chats appear under that work folder in the sidebar, not in the standalone Chats section
Search returns no resultsSearch matches on chat titles only. If the title was auto-generated, try keywords that describe the conversation topic
Deleted chat still appearsRefresh the page or restart the app. The chat list may take a moment to sync
