Chat History
Chat history is your chronological history of all Assistant conversations. Use it to reopen earlier work and continue without starting over.
What Chat History Contains
Every conversation you start in Assistant appears in chat history, organized by date. This creates an archive you can search and return to at any time.
Chat history shows all your past Assistant conversations, organized by date.
Word Add-in users: The Word Add-in has its own Recent Chats dropdown for conversations started inside Word. These appear alongside your other conversations in the main Chat History page, but the Word Add-in provides a quick-access view. See Word Add-In Overview for details.
Chat labels for Word conversations: You may notice different labels for your Word Add-in conversations in chat history. Legacy Word chats (created before the naming update) display as Word Add-in. Newer Word chats display as Genius. Both label types refer to the same Word Add-in editing capabilities—all conversations remain fully accessible regardless of the label shown.
