Context Switching
Smooth transitions between tasks or topics while maintaining conversation continuity.
What is Context Switching?
Context Switching is an AI pattern that enables smooth transitions between tasks or topics without losing information. Instead of starting fresh each time, the AI maintains separate threads for different contexts. It's essential for multitasking professionals or anyone using AI across multiple projects. Examples include ChatGPT's conversation threads, Notion AI understanding your workspace, or Siri remembering your shopping list while helping with calendar events.
Example: ChatGPT Conversation Threading

Maintains context across conversations and allows users to switch between multiple chat threads without losing conversation history or context.
