Using Chat History
Who this is for: All users
Overview
Chat history contains a list of your past conversations with Law Cyborg's research tools, and makes it easy to revisit, continue, and download past conversations. Every question you ask, and answer that you receive back, is automatically saved, making it easy to reference past work, track your research over time, and compile information for client matters.
This article explains how to access, search, and make the most of your chat history.
What Is Chat History?
Chat history is your personal archive of every conversation you've had with Law Cyborg.
What's Included:
✅ Every question you've asked
✅ Every answer Law Cyborg provided in response
✅ Timestamps (when you asked each question)
✅ Practice area context (which AI you were using when you asked the question)
What's NOT Included:
❌ Other users' conversations (completely private to you)
❌ Conversations from before chat history was enabled, if it has been turned off previously and then later turned back on
Note: Chat history is enabled by default and stores conversations indefinitely. Only your account Owner can disable it for the organisation. Chat history is either on for all users, or off for all users—there is no ability to toggle availablity of chat history per users.

Troubleshooting Chat History
Problem: My past conversations are gone
Possible reason:
Chat history was recently disabled and re-enabled (this erases history)
Solution:
Check with your account Owner if chat history was recently toggled
Contact support to investigate
Problem: Search isn't finding a conversation I know exists
Solution:
Try different keywords from that conversation
Scroll manually through chat history (sorted by date)
Download to PDF/Word Document isn't working
Solution:
Check your browser's pop-up blocker (may be blocking the download)
Check your Downloads folder (it may have downloaded without a notification)
Try a different browser
Contact support if issue persists
Privacy and Security
Is my chat history private?
Yes. Your chat history is completely private to you. Other users in your organisation cannot see your conversations, even Owners and Admins.
Exception: If you elect to manually report an answer for review, Law Cyborg staff can see that specific conversation (questions and answers) to investigate the issue. When reporting an answer, you can choose whether your report is anonymised. Additionally, all Law Cyborg staff that review reports are bound by strict non-disclosure agreements, so none of that information can be shared with other parties.
Can my Owner see my chat history?
No. Owners can enable or disable chat history for the organisation, but they cannot view individual users' conversations.
Where is chat history stored?
Chat history is stored securely with full encryption on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers in Sydney. It is not stored locally on your computer, so you can access it from any device when you log in.
Can I export all my chat history at once?
Currently, you need to download conversations individually as PDFs or Word Documents.
