Starting a New Chat
How to start a new chat in the Qolaba Chatbot, when to do it, and why managing context matters.
Each chat in Qolaba is an isolated conversation thread tied to your current workspace. Starting a new chat gives you a clean context, a fresh message thread, and no influence from previous conversations.
Creating a New Chat
Open your Workspace from the left navigation panel
Select Chatbot
Click New Chat in the top right
Enter your first prompt and send
A new conversation thread is created automatically, saved to your workspace history, and begins consuming credits from your first message.
How Conversation Context Works
Every chat maintains its own context window — a memory of everything said within that thread, including your prompts, AI responses, follow-up instructions, and any files attached during the session.
This allows the AI to:
Build on earlier instructions without you repeating them
Refine outputs progressively across multiple turns
Handle complex, multi-step tasks within a single conversation
Context is chat-specific. Starting a new chat resets conversational memory entirely. AI has no memory of previous chat sessions.
When to Start a New Chat
Start a new chat when you are:
Switching to a different topic or task
Working on a new client or project
Deliberately isolating results from a previous session
Best practice: One chat per objective. It keeps your history clean, your outputs traceable, and your context uncontaminated.
Resetting Context
The cleanest way to reset context is to start a new chat. This ensures the AI has no memory of earlier instructions, files, or outputs — giving you a reliable baseline for experimentation or benchmarking.
Carrying over unintended context can cause the AI to reference outdated instructions, produce inconsistent comparisons, or generate outputs biased by earlier constraints.
