Conversations & how it finds cases

Your conversations

Every chat with the assistant is saved automatically as a conversation, so you can come back to it later. There is nothing to set up.

• Listed in a sidebar. Your past conversations appear under the Conversations heading — a fixed sidebar on desktop, and a slide-out drawer on mobile. The one you are currently viewing is highlighted.
• Auto-generated titles. You never have to name a conversation. A short title (a few words) is created from your first message and appears in the sidebar a moment after the chat starts — it updates on its own, no refresh needed.
• Reopen any time. Click a conversation in the sidebar to open it with its full message history restored.
• Delete permanently. Each conversation has a trash icon. Selecting it opens a Delete conversation confirmation that warns the action is irreversible, with Cancel and Remove buttons. If you delete the conversation you are currently viewing, you are returned to the welcome page.

How the assistant finds information

The assistant is more than a chatbot answering from memory. To give you grounded advice, it can look things up in the Edustories case library while it works on your question.

There are two things it can do behind the scenes:

• Search the case library — it turns your situation into a focused search and looks for genuinely similar cases (matching on real context like the type of behaviour, age or grade, and key symptoms, not just shared labels).
• Open a case's details — for the most relevant matches, it opens the full case report (summary, description, background, outcome, and solution) so it can point to specific strategies.

What you will notice

While the assistant is working, brief status lines appear above the forming answer, such as "Searching case reports..." and "Opening case report detail..." (followed by the title of the case it is opening). For older messages, this activity is preserved and shown above the answer, so you can later see which cases the assistant consulted for a given reply.

When the assistant references a case in its answer, it embeds a small clickable case citation badge showing the case's title. Select a badge to open that case report in a new tab and read it in full — this is how the assistant grounds its advice in real, openable cases.

The assistant draws on the whole public case library when it searches. You are tapping into the shared experience of educators across the platform, not a single source.
