Saving, switching libraries or getting unstuck
- Save a useful answer
- Ask: “Save this answer to my Thinker.” To save only part, quote the text you want to keep. Enable “Allow saving conversations when I ask” when connecting; if access is read-only, reconnect with that option. Review any ChatGPT confirmation before saving.
- Use a different library
- Open the plugin’s Manage page in ChatGPT and reconnect. On the Thinker screen, choose another library you own. One connection uses one library.
- ChatGPT cannot see your library
- Start a new chat, type @ and select AristAI Thinker. If it asks you to connect again, complete the connection and resend your question. If the plugin is unavailable in a work account, check with your workspace administrator.
- Your library is missing from the list
- Check the Thinker account shown on the connection screen. Choose Use another account if needed. You can connect only libraries you own.
- A video or topic seems missing
- Saved video links and imported transcripts are counted separately. Search uses the words in your question; try another term or the source’s language before concluding a topic is absent.
- Use Claude or another AI
- In your Thinker, open Content → Add content → Use your AI to copy a library snapshot into another AI. This does not create a live connection.
