Temporary Chat (Incognito)
Ask a question without saving it to your chat history.
May 11, 2026
A Temporary Chat (sometimes called Incognito) lets you use Magisterium AI without saving the conversation to your history.
Start a temporary chat
- At the top of the chat screen, click the ghost icon (Temporary Chat).
- A new temporary chat opens with a banner that says "This chat won't be saved."
- Use it just like a normal chat.
You can also start one by navigating to magisterium.com/?incognito=1.
What's different
- The conversation is not saved to Chat History when you close the tab or navigate away.
- It does not contribute to your personalized memory.
- You can't pin or share a temporary chat.
What is the same
- Your weekly prompt limits still apply.
- Citations still work.
- The UI behaves like a normal chat.
Ending a temporary chat
Navigate to any other page or start a New Chat from the sidebar. The temporary chat closes and nothing is kept.
When it's handy
- Exploring a sensitive question you'd rather not keep in history.
- Testing how Magisterium AI answers without mixing it into your saved records.
- Using a shared device where you don't want your chat to remain.
