Temporary Chats are chat sessions designed not to create new long-term memories. They let users ask questions or draft material without adding new personal context to the assistant’s memory store, which is useful when handling sensitive topics, confidential drafts, or one-off investigations. In practice, this reduces the chance that private details will influence future replies.
From a security perspective, Temporary Chats are a data-minimization control, not a full privacy guarantee. They can help defenders avoid accidental retention of secrets, but the session may still be subject to normal service logging, policy enforcement, or data sent through enabled connectors. Attackers may also rely on users misunderstanding “temporary” to over-share credentials or sensitive text. In secure workflows, Temporary Chats are best used alongside least privilege, connector review, and explicit memory settings.
