Each conversation in Lace is a session. A session bundles your chat messages, screen context, attachments, and any artifacts generated during the conversation into a single thread.Documentation Index

Why sessions are scoped
Sessions are tied to a specific chat thread. This means:- Screen context stays local. What Lace captures during one session doesn’t leak into another. If you’re switching between different tasks, each conversation only sees its own screen history.
- Drafts are preserved. If you start typing a message, switch to a different chat, and come back — your draft is still there. Same for any selected insight tools or pending attachments.
- Artifacts belong to their session. Summaries, analyses, and previews generated in a conversation stay with that conversation.
Starting a session
When you open a new chat, a session begins. Lace starts capturing screen context for that thread. If screen context is enabled, it tracks the window you’re working in — either the frontmost window automatically, or a specific window you’ve pinned.The pill
When you minimize Lace, the session stays active in the background. The floating pill keeps you connected:- Click the pill to restore your session and the full overlay
- Nudges appear on the pill when Lace spots something relevant to your workflow
- The pill stays visible across all workspaces, so you’re never more than a click away
