In-App Chat and Conversations
The in-app chat is Aori’s built-in way to have conversations. Unlike channels (Telegram, WhatsApp), in-app conversations never leave the app — all data stays local on your device.
Multiple Conversations
Section titled “Multiple Conversations”You can have as many open conversations as you want. Each conversation is independent — Aori does not carry context from one conversation into another unless you ask it to.
Conversations appear in the sidebar (desktop) or the chat list (mobile). Tap or click a conversation to open it, or start a new one.
Conversation Actions
Section titled “Conversation Actions”From the conversation list or the three-dot menu inside a chat, you can:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| New conversation | Start a fresh thread with no previous context |
| Rename | Give the conversation a meaningful name |
| Archive | Hide it from the main list without deleting it |
| Fork | Create a copy of the conversation at its current state, so you can explore a different direction |
| Delete | Permanently remove the conversation and its messages |
Personas in In-App Chat
Section titled “Personas in In-App Chat”Each conversation thread maintains its own active Persona. Type /<handle> at any point to switch Personas mid-conversation. The switch applies to all subsequent messages in that thread. See Personas for details.
Searching Conversations
Section titled “Searching Conversations”Use the search bar at the top of the chat list to search across all your conversation threads by keyword.
Data and Privacy
Section titled “Data and Privacy”In-app conversations are stored locally on your device. They are not synced to Aori servers (there are no Aori servers for your app data). If you connect a cloud AI provider, your messages are sent to that provider to generate a response — see Privacy and Data Flow for details.
