Chat in Dashboard
Talk directly to your Tvix knowledge base without going through an external agent. Chat with Memory answers questions using your stored memories and wiki documents, with citations and a linked graph panel.
Chat in Dashboard (also known as "Chat with Memory") lets you talk to your Tvix knowledge base directly from the dashboard, without having to open an external agent. Ask about a decision you made last month, a conversation from last week, or a pattern across everything you've worked on, and Chat can ground the answer in your own memories and wiki documents when stored context is relevant.

What Chat Pulls From
When stored context is relevant, Chat can pull from both knowledge stores:
- Memory: Personal context captured through your agents, Chat in Dashboard, and integrations (preferences, decisions, meetings, emails, and so on).
- Wiki: Factual knowledge you or your agents stored as wiki documents.
Chat uses a focused set of tools under the hood: search_memory, add_memory, search_wiki, and add_wiki. The underlying model decides which search tools to call based on your question and weaves the results into a single grounded answer. Chat can also write back to Tvix: it can save durable personal context as memory, or create wiki documents when you ask it to save factual reference material.
Note: Dashboard Chat is not the full Wiki CRUD surface. It can create Wiki documents with
add_wiki, but editing or deleting existing Wiki documents happens in the Wiki dashboard or through connected agents that expose MCP tools such asupdate_wikianddelete_wiki.
Highlights
- Context-grounded responses: Answers are grounded in your actual memories and wiki documents when stored context is relevant
- Citations: Responses that use stored context link back to the exact memories and wiki documents they drew from, so you can verify and explore further
- Graph panel: See how referenced memories and documents connect to each other
- Session history: Past conversations are saved in the sidebar so you can pick up where you left off
- Write back to Memory and Wiki: Chat can save durable personal context as memory and create wiki documents for stable reference material
- Model picker: Switch between Standard and Advanced models from the model dropdown in the composer
Note: Free plans include 40 dashboard chats per month, and Pro includes 200. Advanced models cost 2x usage per message compared to Standard models. You will see a
(2x)suffix next to Advanced model names in the picker.
Tip: Chat in Dashboard is useful for exploring your own knowledge base, verifying what your agents know about you, and quickly looking up past decisions or reference material without switching to an external agent.
