# 💬 Temporary Chat Guide

Temporary Chat allows you to interact with the assistant in a lightweight, popup-style chat — without creating a new thread or saving any messages. It's perfect for side questions, quick tests, or one-off tasks.

## 🔄 How It Works

* Open or close the temporary chat anytime using the shortcut (`⌘K`) or the button in the top right corner.
* You can reset the temporary chat with a shortcut (`⌘E`).
* It appears as a **right-side sliding panel** so you can keep your main chat open.
* Messages sent here are **not saved** to history — once closed, they're gone.
* Temporary chat supports its own **System Prompt**, allowing you to customize behavior.

## 🧠 Why It's Useful

Imagine you're in the middle of an important discussion and you suddenly need a quick translation or to test a tool — but don't want to clutter the current chat. Temporary Chat is built exactly for that.

**Use cases include:**

* Asking a quick side question without breaking the main conversation flow
* Testing a prompt or tool before using it in your main chat
* Setting up a dedicated system prompt for focused tasks (e.g. translation, formatting)

## 📝 Real-World Example

For example, if you are not fluent in English, you can set a translation-focused system prompt in the temporary chat (e.g. "Translate everything naturally between Korean and English without extra explanation"). While having a main conversation, whenever you need a translation, you can quickly open the temporary chat using the shortcut, get the translation you need to understand the context, and then return to your main chat to continue the discussion.

Temporary Chat helps keep your main conversations clean, while still giving you flexibility and speed for all your side tasks.
