How it works · Projects
Projects.
Projects group related threads together and scope your context, files, and memory. Work on different areas of your life without them bleeding into each other.
What projects do
A project is a container for threads. Threads inside a project share context with each other but not with threads in other projects. This means your coding work doesn't bleed into your personal journaling, and your health conversations stay separate from your business planning.
Projects also scope workspace files and project memory, so Continio knows what you're working on within a specific area of your life without having to be reminded each time.
Default projects
When you first use Continio, five default projects are created for you:
- Life
- Work
- Health & Wellbeing
- Admin & Errands
- Learning
These are starting points. Rename, recolour, or delete them. Create new ones that match how you actually think.
Automatic project assignment
After the first message in a new chat, Continio suggests a project based on the content. It looks at what you said and matches it against your existing project names. If no match is found, it assigns the chat to your catch-all project (usually Life).
You can change the project for any chat at any time by tapping the project label in the chat header.
Project memory
Continio builds a log of decisions, progress, and context for each project from conversations within it. This project memory is brought into every chat in that project, so Continio knows what you've been working on and what decisions have been made - without you having to recap.
For example: if you've made a pricing decision in a chat tagged to your Work project, the next chat in Work will already know about it.
Project files
Files written during a session (by Continio, or uploaded by you) are tagged to the project of the current chat. Any chat in that same project automatically knows those files exist. Continio can read them on demand without you having to re-attach them.
This is particularly useful for coding sessions: if you work on llm.py in one chat and start a new chat in the same project, Continio already knows llm.py is there.
A heavy coding session that fills up one chat doesn't mean you lose access to your files when you start a fresh chat. As long as both chats are in the same project, the files are available.
