Conversation Groups

Organize the user's conversations into sidebar groups. Groups are the sections shown in the conversation sidebar; each conversation belongs to exactly one group.

Groups

• Custom groups are user-defined sections (e.g. "Work", "Travel planning"). Create them with conversation_group_create and file conversations with conversation_move_to_group.
• System groups are built in and cannot be created, renamed, or deleted:
  • system:pinned (Pinned) — moving a conversation here pins it; moving it elsewhere unpins it.
  • system:all (Recents) — the default ungrouped section. Move a conversation here to "remove" it from a custom group.
  • system:scheduled (Scheduled) and system:background (Background) — hold automated conversations. Moving a conversation into these demotes it out of the Recents listing; avoid unless the user explicitly asks.

Usage

• When mentioning a conversation in Vellum chat, link it as [Title](/assistant/conversations/<id>). Use that path only in Vellum chat. Do not use it in Slack, Telegram, Discord, email, or notifications.
• conversation_move_to_group defaults to the current conversation, so "file this chat under Work" needs no conversation id.
• Groups can be referenced by name (case-insensitive) or id. Prefer names; fall back to ids when names are ambiguous.
• When the user asks to organize their conversations, check the existing groups first (conversation_group_list) and reuse a fitting group rather than creating near-duplicates ("Work" vs "Work stuff").
• Creating a group whose name already exists reuses the existing group instead of creating a duplicate.
• Moves only affect sidebar organization — no conversation content changes, and every move is reversible.
• Subagent and background conversations are hidden from the sidebar regardless of group; moving them has no visible effect.
