A session is one conversation with the agent in a project folder. AIUS keeps every session on your computer, so you can pick up where you stopped. Start AIUS in the project folder:
When the folder has earlier sessions, AIUS asks whether to start a new one or continue where you stopped:
The Start a session dialog in the AIUS terminal: New session, and under Previous sessions, Term-deposit propensity model and campaign report, marked Last session

Starting AIUS in a folder with earlier work

Sessions kept in ~/.local/share/aius appear here too, in the folder they were started in (Folders and projects). Type /sessions to see the sessions for this folder, newest first. Search by title, open one to continue it, or use the shortcuts shown at the bottom of the list to pin, rename or delete a session.

The session list

From the command line: Sessions stay private. In a folder linked to a project, AIUS Light keeps them as your conversations in that project, visible only to you (Your computers). The agent publishes a session for others only if you ask it to and approve the publication.

Useful commands in a session

Type / to list every command. The ones you will use most: Esc interrupts the agent while it works; Ctrl+P opens the command palette. Click a web address in a reply, such as the link to a published report, to open it in your browser. AIUS starts in dark mode. To change it, press Ctrl+P and choose Switch to light mode; AIUS remembers your choice. The screenshots in these docs use light mode.
