Incognito mode is for the questions you don’t want Mesa to remember. An incognito conversation runs without your saved memories, never creates new ones, and stays out of your conversation history. It’s useful for one-off or sensitive research you don’t want shaping future answers.

​
Start an incognito conversation

1

Open the composer

Go to the Home page or start a New Conversation. Both composers have an Incognito toggle beneath the message box.
2

Turn on Incognito

Click Incognito. The toggle fills in and a notice confirms the conversation is private.
3

Ask your question

Send your message as usual. The conversation carries a subtle patterned backdrop and an Incognito badge so it’s always clear you’re in a private session.

Incognito is about memories and history, not audit. Your organization’s administrators may still be able to review incognito conversations in audit logs, so it is not a way to hide activity from your organization.
An incognito conversation leaves your history the moment you navigate away. If you want to keep the work, save any results to your Files before you go.

Preferences

Manage the memories that incognito conversations deliberately skip.
