Temporary Chat is for conversations you do not want saved in normal chat history or Library. When you start Temporary Chat, Babbily states that the chat will not appear in history, will not use or update Babbily memory, and will not be used to train Babbily’s models.

​
When to use Temporary Chat

Use Temporary Chat for:
  • One-off brainstorming.
  • Drafts you do not need later.
  • Quick questions.
  • Sensitive context you do not want saved in your normal history.
Temporary Chat helps keep a conversation out of saved chat surfaces, but you should still avoid entering passwords, keys, payment details, or other secrets.

​
Start Temporary Chat

1

Open the Temporary Chat control

Use the Temporary Chat control in the chat interface.
2

Confirm Temporary Chat

Start the temporary session.
3

Chat normally

You can still use supported models, tools, attachments, image generation, and video generation.
4

Exit when finished

Starting a new chat or leaving the temporary thread exits Temporary Chat and removes it from saved chat surfaces.

​
What changes in Temporary Chat

  • The thread does not appear in Recents or Library.
  • The chat does not use or update Babbily memory.
  • The thread is not meant for sharing.
  • Active generation may be stopped when you exit.
  • The session can restore in the same browser tab while it is active.
  • Exiting permanently deletes the current temporary conversation.

​
Context limits

Temporary Chats do not use automatic compaction. If a Temporary Chat fills the context window, Babbily may ask you to start a saved thread to keep going.
If you realize you want to keep the work, copy the useful result into a normal chat or document before exiting Temporary Chat.
