| How To Reset Chats On Poly Ai |
Step 1: Understanding Why You Might Want to Reset Your Chat
Before we jump into the "how-to," let's take a moment to consider why you might want to reset a chat on Poly AI. This initial reflection can help you decide the best approach. Are you:
Feeling stuck in a repetitive loop with your AI?
Exploring new topics and want to ensure the AI isn't influenced by past conversations?
Unsatisfied with the current direction of the dialogue?
Simply tidying up your chat history?
No matter the reason, knowing your goal will guide you through the process effectively.
Step 2: Identifying the Reset Options on Poly AI (PolyBuzz)
Poly AI (often referred to as PolyBuzz by its users) offers a few ways to manage your chat history, ranging from individual message deletion to more comprehensive chat resets. It's important to note that a "global" reset of all your chats simultaneously might not be directly available, and often, the process involves managing individual chat threads.
Sub-heading 2.1: Individual Chat Deletion
This is the most common and direct method for clearing specific conversations. If you have a particular chat that you want to completely erase, this is your go-to.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Sub-heading 2.2: Restarting a Chat Thread
For those who want to keep the same AI character but start a fresh conversation with them, without losing the ability to potentially revisit the old one, Poly AI provides a "restart" option. This is great for experimentation.
Sub-heading 2.3: The Nuance of "Deleting All" Chats
As of current information, a single "delete all chats" button across your entire Poly AI account might not exist. Users often report having to delete chats one by one. However, there are workarounds and specific actions that achieve a similar outcome for individual AI characters.
Step 3: The Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting Individual Chats
Let's get down to the specifics of clearing those chat histories.
Sub-heading 3.1: Deleting a Specific Chat Thread
This method is ideal when you want to permanently remove a conversation.
Navigate to Your Chats: Open the Poly AI (PolyBuzz) application or website and go to your list of active chat conversations.
Select the Chat: Locate the specific chat you wish to delete from your chat history.
Access the Options:
On Mobile App: Often, you can long-press on the chat thread in your chat list. This usually brings up a context menu.
On Web/Desktop: Look for a three-dot menu (...) or a trash can icon typically located near the chat's title or within the chat interface itself. You might need to click on the chat to open it first.
Confirm Deletion: Once the option appears, select "Delete Chat" or a similar prompt. You will likely be asked to confirm your decision as this action is usually irreversible.
Important Note: Some users have reported that deleting the earliest message you want gone in a conversation can result in all subsequent messages in that chat also being deleted. Experiment with this carefully if you have a very long chat.
Sub-heading 3.2: Restarting a Chat with an AI Character (Creating a New Branch)
This method allows you to start a fresh conversation with the same AI character while often retaining the ability to access the previous conversation history. This is particularly useful if you're exploring different narratives or topics with a single AI.
Enter the Chat: Open the specific chat you want to restart.
Look for the "Restart" Option: Within the chat interface, look for a button or icon that says "Restart," "New Chat," or similar. This is often found near the bottom of the screen or within a menu (like a three-dot menu) related to the current chat.
User Tip: Some users have found this option by clicking a "bottom right button on your screen" which then reveals "Restart" and "New Chat" options.
Choose Your Restart Type (if applicable): Poly AI may offer options like:
"Restart and Keep": This option is fantastic! It typically creates a new branch of conversation with the same AI, while preserving your previous dialogue as an archive. This allows you to switch between the "old" and "new" versions of the chat.
"New Chat": This might start a completely fresh thread with the AI, without necessarily archiving the old one in an easily accessible way.
Confirm: Confirm your action to begin a fresh interaction with the AI.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
Step 4: Understanding Limitations and Best Practices
While Poly AI provides good options for chat management, it's crucial to understand some potential limitations and best practices.

Sub-heading 4.1: No "One-Click Clear All" (Generally)
As mentioned, a universal "delete all chats" button for your entire account is not a standard feature on Poly AI (PolyBuzz) for individual users. The emphasis is on managing conversations on a per-chat basis. This means if you have many chats to clear, it might require individual deletion for each.
Sub-heading 4.2: Data Retention and Privacy
Poly AI (PolyBuzz) generally emphasizes user privacy and secure servers, stating that they do not store or share user data with third parties for private interactions. However, it's always wise to be mindful of the information you share with any AI. Deleting chats helps remove them from your immediate view and Poly AI's active conversational memory for that specific thread.
Sub-heading 4.3: Exporting or Saving Chats (If Available)
If you have conversations you want to preserve before deleting them, check if Poly AI offers any export or save features. While not explicitly highlighted as a common user-facing feature for chat history in general discussions, some platforms allow this. This would be found within individual chat settings or account settings.
Step 5: Troubleshooting Common Reset Issues
Sometimes, things don't go as smoothly as planned. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:
App Glitches: If you're having trouble deleting or restarting a chat, try closing and reopening the Poly AI app or refreshing your browser page. A quick restart often resolves minor glitches.
Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Poor connectivity can sometimes interfere with actions like deleting or saving chat data.
Outdated App Version: Make sure your Poly AI (PolyBuzz) app is updated to the latest version. Developers frequently release updates that fix bugs and introduce new functionalities.
Contact Support: If you've tried everything and still can't reset your chats as desired, reach out to Poly AI's customer support. They can provide platform-specific assistance.
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions about Poly AI Chat Resets
Here are 10 related FAQs to help you further understand how to manage your Poly AI conversations:
How to delete individual messages in a Poly AI chat?
You typically cannot delete individual messages within a chat. The deletion functionality usually applies to the entire chat thread. If you want to remove specific content, you'll likely need to delete the whole conversation or restart it.
How to recover deleted chats on Poly AI?
Generally, once a chat is deleted on Poly AI, it cannot be recovered. Deletion is usually a permanent action. This is why the "restart and keep" option is valuable, as it preserves a copy of the old chat.
How to archive a Poly AI chat instead of deleting it?
Poly AI sometimes offers an "archive" or "restart and keep" option. This allows you to hide the chat from your main list but still access it later. Look for this option alongside the delete or restart functions.
How to start a completely new conversation with a Poly AI bot?
To start a completely new conversation, you can either use the "Restart" or "New Chat" option within an existing chat, or go back to the character selection screen and initiate a fresh chat with the desired AI.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
How to prevent Poly AI from remembering past conversations?
The most effective way to prevent Poly AI from remembering past conversations is to delete or restart the chat thread. Each new chat or restart acts as a fresh slate for the AI's memory within that specific interaction.
How to manage multiple Poly AI chat threads with the same character?
If Poly AI offers a "Restart and Keep" or "New Chat" option, you can create multiple independent chat threads with the same AI character. These threads will have separate conversation histories.
How to know if my Poly AI chat is truly reset?
After performing a reset (delete or restart), the chat history should either disappear (for deletion) or start from a blank slate (for restart). If you can still see previous messages, the reset was not successful.
How to clear Poly AI's broader memory (not just one chat)?
For individual users, Poly AI's memory is primarily tied to specific chat threads. There isn't a global "clear all memory" button that affects every AI you've interacted with. Managing individual chats is the key.
How to improve Poly AI's responses after a reset?
After a reset, guide the AI with clear and specific prompts. If the previous conversation went off track, a reset is your chance to refine your initial input and steer the dialogue in the desired direction from the start.
How to report issues with chat resets on Poly AI?
If you encounter persistent issues with resetting chats, the best course of action is to contact Poly AI's official customer support. Look for a "Help," "Support," or "Contact Us" section within the app or on their website.
