Conversation Mode
Emma provides three modes optimized for different conversation purposes, with context management and cleanup strategies tailored to each use case.
Background & Rationale
Research-Based Design
- • Context Rot: Context increases reduce LLM accuracy (arXiv 2510.05381)
- • Anthropic's Recommendation: Aim for 'minimal high-signal token set'
- • Progressive Disclosure: Load only necessary information when needed
B2B Use Case Considerations
- • Single tasks: ~30 minutes
- • Medium tasks: ~1 day
- • Long-term projects (document creation, brainstorming): ~several weeks
Mode Overview
| Mode | Icon | Usage | Default |
|---|
| Normal | | Light conversations, single questions, casual chat | ✓ |
| Task | | Task execution, research, document creation | |
| Project | | Long-term projects, B2B document creation | |
