Use this glossary when a Babbily setting, guide, or support reply uses a term you want to understand.

Everyday terms

A conversation with Babbily. Chats can include messages, files, tools, generated media, citations, and follow-up questions.
The AI system selected for a reply. Models can differ in speed, reasoning, file support, media support, context size, and API usage budget impact.
The first choice in the model picker. Auto picks a model and reasoning level for each message based on the kind of task and how demanding it is. Auto chats show Auto · Models used: below the composer. See Auto model selection.
A specific model you choose in the picker, such as Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol, instead of Auto. Choose a named model when you want the same model for every reply or want to set Fast mode or reasoning effort yourself.
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.
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.
A Personal or team context that keeps chats, Library items, memory, and plan context organized. Open your account menu at the bottom of the sidebar to see your workspaces and switch between them.
A personal or team workspace container that keeps related chats, instructions, knowledge files, and project memory together.
A paid-plan feature that runs a saved prompt manually or on a schedule and leaves each result in a new 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

A readable view of saved context Babbily may use to personalize future replies. You can review it in Settings > Memory.
A source or note that helps explain saved memory. You can review memory citations from Settings > Memory and remove eligible items.
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.
A limited search of eligible earlier conversations in Auto tool mode with memory enabled. It is separate from saved memory and does not cover every conversation or workspace.
An owner-controlled team setting that lets useful facts from team-workspace chats become reusable context for current team members. It does not share anyone’s personal Memory Profile.
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

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.
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.
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 tool-mode rules.
Tool modes in the composer. Auto lets Babbily choose available tools, Manual lets you pick one, and Off keeps the reply model-only. Tool mode is separate from choosing Auto in the model picker, which picks the model rather than the tools.
A connected app Babbily can use after you authorize access, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Outlook, Stripe, or other supported apps.
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

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.
The person who manages a team workspace, invitations, member removal, plan changes, billing, and team usage controls where available.
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.
Read-only access to a supported team-workspace chat or saved media item for specific teammates or everyone in the team. Access depends on current team membership.
