Everyday terms
Chat
Chat
A conversation with Babbily. Chats can include messages, files, tools, generated media, citations, and follow-up questions.
Model
Model
The AI system selected for a reply. Models can differ in speed, reasoning, file support, media support, context size, and API usage budget impact.
Context window
Context window
The amount of recent conversation, file content, and tool output the selected model can consider for one reply. Long chats can fill the context window, and Babbily may compact older context so the thread can continue.
Library
Library
The place to find saved work such as threads, images, audio, videos, and translations. Available item actions can include reopen, rename, share, download, or delete.
Workspace
Workspace
A Personal or team context that keeps chats, Library items, memory, and plan context organized. The workspace pill shows where you are working.
Project
Project
A personal or team workspace container that keeps related chats, instructions, knowledge files, and project memory together.
Scheduled Task
Scheduled Task
A paid-plan feature that runs a saved prompt manually or on a schedule and leaves each result in a new chat.
Temporary Chat
Temporary Chat
A chat mode for conversations you do not want saved in normal history or Library. Temporary chats do not use or update Babbily memory, and exiting deletes the temporary conversation.
Personalization
Memory Profile
Memory Profile
A readable view of saved context Babbily may use to personalize future replies. You can review it in Settings > Memory.
Memory citation
Memory citation
A source or note that helps explain saved memory. You can review memory citations from Settings > Memory and remove eligible items.
Needs review
Needs review
Older saved memories awaiting your approval. They are excluded from saved-memory use in replies until approved. You can approve or forget them in Settings > Memory.
Past-chat lookup
Past-chat lookup
A limited search of eligible earlier conversations in Auto mode with memory enabled. It is separate from saved memory and does not cover every conversation or workspace.
Skills
Skills
Reusable instructions that help Babbily follow a workflow. You can turn skills on or off, search verified skills, add markdown skills, and trigger skills with slash commands.
Tools and apps
Tool
Tool
A capability Babbily can use beyond a model-only reply, such as web search, deep research, QR codes, weather, image generation, video generation, or connected-app work.
Deep Research Agent
Deep Research Agent
A multi-step research tool that plans a broad question, gathers and checks sources, and writes a cited report into Canvas. A run can take several minutes. If evidence gathering reaches its limit, Babbily tells you coverage is partial; if writing reaches its limit, Canvas keeps the written portion and labels it incomplete.
Finance research
Finance research
A source-aware tool for live quotes, historical company questions, earnings, filings, peers, and other financial research. Chats started from Finance use their page context and follow separate Auto, Manual, and Off rules.
Auto, Manual, and Off
Auto, Manual, and Off
Tool modes in the composer. Auto lets Babbily choose available tools, Manual lets you pick one, and Off keeps the reply model-only.
Plugin
Plugin
A connected app Babbily can use after you authorize access, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Outlook, Stripe, or other supported apps.
Approval-required action
Approval-required action
A plugin action that asks for your confirmation before it runs. The approval card appears inline in the conversation. Review sends, updates, workflow changes, and billing or customer-data actions before choosing Allow.
Account and billing
API usage budget
API usage budget
The monthly plan budget for supported AI work Babbily runs for you. Usage can include chat replies, model work, media generation, translation, and some tool or file work. Some features may use separate limits or availability rules.
Team owner
Team owner
The person who manages a team workspace, invitations, member removal, plan changes, billing, and team usage controls where available.
Team member

A person who has accepted a team invitation and can use the team plan. Team members may not see owner-only billing or membership controls.
