The Stream app is where you can revisit your conversations, find what you've saved, and manage your Notes, Lists, and Reminders.
Chat & Conversations
You can talk to Stream to ask questions, think through ideas, or capture things you want to remember. Your conversations appear in the Stream tab, so you can return to them anytime.
Depending on your settings and connected devices, Stream can respond in a few different ways:
- Spoken responses: Have a back-and-forth conversation with Stream through your earbuds, a connected speaker, or the app.
- Text responses: Read Stream's responses in the Stream tab, even when you're not listening to audio.
- Notifications: Get responses to questions on your phone without needing to open the app. Try asking Stream, “What’s the weather?” with your phone locked to see it in action.
Chat Mode
Chat Mode controls whether Stream responds conversationally or focuses on capturing what you say.
- Chat on: Stream answers questions and carries on conversations with you.
- Chat off: Stream focuses on capturing information and taking actions without conversational replies.
To turn Chat on or off, tap the Chat button on the left side of the screen, just above the Stream tab.
Whether you hear a spoken response also depends on your Audio settings and connected devices.

Your Artifacts
Artifacts are things you save to Stream so you can find and use them later. There are three types:
| Artifact | What it is | Try saying |
|---|---|---|
| Note | Thoughts, ideas, meeting takeaways, or anything you want to remember | "Idea for a beach-themed pop-up space." |
| List | Collections of items you want to track or check off | "Add carrots to my Grocery list." |
| Reminder | A List item with a scheduled time that notifies you when it's due | "Remind me to call Sam at 4." |
Your Artifact activity always shows up in the Stream tab. To find, view, or manage everything you’ve saved, go to the Artifacts tab. Or just ask Stream to find it for you.
Get started with Notes
Notes are anything you want to remember, from passing thoughts and ideas to meeting takeaways and things you've learned.
You can create Folders to organize related Notes. Add optional instructions to tell Stream what belongs in each Folder, and it will automatically file matching Notes for you.
Try creating a few Folders
Meetings
Keep track of decisions, takeaways, and follow-ups from your meetings.
- Folder name: Meetings
- Instructions: "Save meeting debriefs, key decisions, and follow-ups here."
- Try saying: "Just got out of the design review. We're going with option B, Sam owns the spec, and it's due Friday."
Journal
Capture reflections, experiences, and thoughts throughout your day.
- Folder name: Journal
- Instructions: "Save my personal reflections, daily experiences, and journal entries here."
- Try saying: "Today was a pretty good day. I finally made progress on that project I've been putting off."
Learning
Build a collection of things you've learned and want to remember.
- Folder name: Learning
- Instructions: "Save new concepts, explanations, and interesting things I learn here."
- Try saying: "I learned that neural networks adjust connections between layers as they train."
Find what you've saved
You don't have to dig through your Notes to find something. Just ask Stream.
- "What did we decide in the design review?"
- "What were my biggest takeaways this week?"
- "What have I been learning about AI lately?"
- "Summarize my journal entries from this week."
Get started with Lists
Lists help you organize things you want to keep track of or get done, from groceries and daily to-dos to packing lists and reading recommendations.
You can create your own Lists and add optional instructions so Stream knows what belongs in each one.
You can also tell Stream exactly where to add something, like "Add eggs to my Grocery list."
Get started with Reminders
Reminders help you remember to do something at a specific time. Tell Stream what you need to do and when, and it'll notify you on your phone and buzz your ring when it's time.
Reminders are also part of your Lists. Think of them as List items with a scheduled time attached, so you can keep track of what needs to get done and when.
Try saying:
- "Remind me to call Sam at 4 PM."
- "Remind me to take my laundry out in 30 minutes."
Tip: Include a specific time so Stream knows when to remind you. If you give a less specific time, Stream may use a default time or save the item without scheduling a Reminder.
For more details, see Get started with Reminders.
