Memory Scope Toggle
Memory scope toggle is a chat UX pattern that allows users to set persistence scope at compose time, such as this turn only, this thread, project workspace, or account-wide memory. It gives explicit control before sensitive context is sent, reducing privacy surprises and over-retention. The pattern works best as a lightweight, visible control near the composer rather than a deep settings-only option.
Use case
Essential for AI chat products with memory features, especially in enterprise and team contexts where retention policies vary by task and sensitivity.
