Maintain Long-Term Project Continuity with Session @ Mentions

Reference previous chat contexts instantly using the @ mention syntax.

Use the '@' symbol to mention and reference context from past AI sessions within your current chat to maintain continuity without re-pasting information.

The Scenario

You are working on a new feature that relies on architectural decisions you made with the AI in a session three days ago, and you don't want to re-explain the constraints.

Before & after

The old way

You would manually scroll through long chat histories or copy-paste relevant context from old sessions into your new prompt, which takes 3-5 minutes of tedious work.

With AI

Use the @ mention feature to pull specific context from a past session into your current conversation, allowing the AI to provide relevant answers in seconds.

The Prompt

@[PASTE_SESSION_NAME_OR_DATE]
Using the logic we established in the session mentioned above, how should I implement the new [FEATURE_NAME] in the current module?

The '@ Mention' feature allows users to reference past session context directly. This is particularly useful for large projects where different modules were discussed in separate sessions.
