Custom contexts help Hedy better understand the specific situations, roles, or knowledge areas relevant to your conversations. With Hedy's context management feature, you can create and manage multiple context profiles for different scenarios.
What is a Session Context?
A session context is background information you provide to Hedy before starting a session. This helps Hedy understand your role, goals, or specific information relevant to the conversation. With custom contexts, you can save multiple different contexts and easily switch between them.

Tips for Creating Effective Contexts
Be specific about your role: Clearly state your position and responsibilities
Include relevant expertise: Mention knowledge areas you want Hedy to consider
State your objectives: Explain what you hope to achieve in conversations
Describe your products or services: Outline common products that might come up in the meeting
Keep it focused: Avoid unnecessary details that won't impact Hedy's assistance
Update regularly: Revise contexts as your role or objectives change
Provide a vocabulary: Include uncommon names of people, companies, and products so Hedy knows their spelling
Managing Contexts Across Devices
Your contexts will automatically synchronize across all your devices. This ensures you have access to the same contexts whether you're using Hedy on your phone, tablet, or through the web interface.
