Forge Docs
Most AI responses are temporary. Forge Docs exist for the ones that aren't. Turn the useful core of a conversation into something durable.
When a Chat Stops Being a Chat
There's a moment when exploration ends and value appears.
You recognize it when you think:
- "I'll need this again."
- "This explains it cleanly."
- "This solved the problem."
That's when you create a Forge Doc.
What a Forge Doc Is
A Forge Doc is:
- A standalone document
- Extracted from a conversation
- Editable before saving
- Tagged and searchable
It is not a full chat transcript.
Think distillation, not archiving.
Creating One
You can create a Forge Doc from:
- The floating menu (entire Q&A)
- A text selection (just the part that matters)
Either way, you get a chance to clean it up before saving.
That edit step is intentional. Raw AI output rarely ages well.
Editing Before You Save
This is where Forge Docs earn their name.
Good edits
- Remove filler
- Add short context
- Add headings
- Clarify assumptions
You're not just saving — you're forging something useful.
Titles Matter More Than You Think
Future-you will search by titles.
Good titles answer:
- What problem does this solve?
- What topic is this about?
Bad titles waste retrieval time.
Tags Carry Context Forward
Forge Docs inherit tags from the source conversation.
That keeps:
- Project context
- Topic signals
- Search working
You can add more tags specific to the doc itself.
When to Use Forge Docs
They shine for:
If it's something you'd copy into a notes app — it belongs here instead.
How This Changes Your Workflow
Without Forge Docs
- You re-ask questions
- You re-read long chats
- You lose time
With Forge Docs
- Knowledge accumulates
- Retrieval is fast
- Chats stay exploratory
Each tool has a role.
Bottom Line
Forge Docs turn AI from a conversation partner into a knowledge source.
Use them sparingly. When you do, make them count.
