A step-by-step guide to compressing and resuming AI sessions
Every AI tool has a context limit. When your chat gets too long, the AI starts slowing down, losing track of earlier decisions, and giving weaker responses. Starting a new chat means rebuilding all that context from scratch — which wastes time and breaks your flow.
A Capsule is a compressed version of your conversation that fits into the start of any new AI session. Instead of re-explaining your entire project, you paste one Capsule and the AI immediately understands everything.
Select all messages in your AI tool and copy them as plain text.
Open the app, paste your conversation into the input area.
Brief for quick context, Detailed for full history, Code-Focused for dev sessions.
Copy the generated Capsule and paste it as the first message in your new AI chat.
Best for: Quick context switches, simple tasks, when you need to resume a conversation fast.
Best for: Long research sessions, complex projects with many threads.
Best for: Development sessions, debugging, architecture work. Preserves file names and function names.
Copy the full conversation including both your messages and the AI responses
For very long chats, use Brief mode first
The Capsule works best when pasted as the FIRST message in a new chat
Add "Please read this context and confirm you understand before we continue" after pasting the Capsule
