Group related conversations and files together for better organization. Keep your work structured by project, topic, or any way you prefer.
Collections are folders for organizing your conversations. Instead of having all chats in one long list, group them by project, topic, client, or any other organizing principle that works for you.
To create a new collection:
Here are some ways to use Collections:
Group chats by project or client
Organize study materials and research
Keep coding discussions together
Organize creative writing projects
Brainstorm and collect ideas
Keep your collections organized:
You can quickly add a chat to a collection from the chat menu (three dots) without navigating away from your conversation.
Each collection can have custom instructions that apply to all conversations within it. This is useful for: Collection instructions combine with your global memory and any bot instructions for highly personalized conversations.
Collections can also hold files:
Collections organize chats and uploaded files on Windows, Mac, mobile and the web. Local folder connections are specific to the computer and app. On compatible Mac builds, open collection settings → Folder on this Mac to set a default for new Work chats. The selection saves on that Mac; existing chats keep their own connections. Manage file permissions in Settings → Mac app → Folder access. On Windows, use Projects → New project to connect a PC folder and start its local Work chats. The Mac collection setting is not a Windows setup step. See Project folders for the platform-specific controls. Keep the host awake, online and running Gab AI for local file work. Files Work reads are sent to Gab AI’s cloud agent. Remote lets a paired phone continue shared project chats on either supported desktop platform.
The sidebar initially shows up to ten collections. Use See more or See less for longer lists. Choose a sort order or save a custom order; a folder’s contents can have their own sorting preference. Changing the display order does not move or delete conversations or files.
Choose account and collection memory, collection-only memory, or memory off for a collection. New facts learned in a collection remain in that collection. The setting controls context; it does not grant access to a connected local folder.
